The last few days I have been receiving emails from women. Not quite sure what triggered it. Nor have i opened them, given that they have shown up in my Spam folder.

It does have me wondering though what I did to deserve all the attention. My online habits haven’t changed, I have not given out my email to any sketchy people. But suddenly women want to get to know me bettwe.

Maybe my service provider’s filters have failed. Maybe the scammers have gotten more sophisticated. And yes, I am assuming these emails are some sort of scheme designed to deprive me of my hard-earned cash. I own a mirror. Young women aren’t particularly attracted to old married men. Though I suppose these days you never know.

You can learn a lot from the subject line of an email. That’s why they have subject lines. Some of these leave no doubt as to the supposed intentions of the sender – but I’m still not interested.

Ava tells me she is too hot to ignore. Ava has misjudged herself. I ignored her and deleted her email unread. Julia is sending me an “honest message.” If you feel the need to tell me you are being honest with me, you are most likely lying.

Luna wants me to see what she sent. I presume that would mean clicking on a link or downloading something. thanks, but my computer wants to stay virus-free. Mia says “I feel like chatting with you now!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sorry Mia, but I was told as a child not to talk to strangers. As an adult I’ve added to that – any more than three exclamation marks means you probably have nothing to say that would interest me.

Lena wants me to “ping” her. I remember pinging vaguely form the early days of the internet. I didn’t know it was still a thing. Nor do i know how to do it. Mia (maybe the same one) apparently has sent me a private WhatsApp message. if she really did, there would be no need to send an email.

Taylor says she wants to be “F____d.” Do women say things like that to strangers? Would a self-respecting man be interested? certainly not in my case. Gianna tells me she already likes me – she just needs my name to make it official. I’m not sure what she needs to make official. It isn’t as if I would co-sign a bank loan for someone who doesn’t know my name.

There were others, but you get the idea. I’m sitting here wondering what sort of person falls for these things. Maybe young lonely men who don’t know that relationships are unlikely to grow with anyone you meet in your Spam folder.

I seem to recall a flurry of similar emails a few years ago. They eventually stopped, though I can’t remember how long it took. This time at least it amused me enough to write about it.

It did leave me wondering though. Does anyone else have this problem?
