I've been on twitter for about a month now (ericistheone is the handle by the way), and I've noticed a very disturbing trend. I've blogged in earlier entries about guys trying to pimp over the internet and it seems twitter is the new place to try your one-liners in 140 characters or less. With twits like "@_____ I like your background pic? What are you doing?" aren't getting you no punani playa. Time and time again, I'll notice my friends timeline full of wannabe magic don juans masturbating to the thought of an attractive woman responding to their twits. One particular internet romeo got angry when a girl said she's not on twitter to find a man. He went on to ask her where he could meet her, setting off her ted bundy radar, and then resorting to insulting her for not giving him a chance. What really made me laugh though was, when he got finished with her, he went on to begin the very same conversation with another girl. He even started it the EXACT SAME WAY. Needless to say, one can assume that he spent his evening very much alone.
Now I can't speak from a woman's perspective on how flattering or not it is for some random guy to ask you what you are doing at 3am, but as a man, I would advise my fellow men to just relax. Just think, if you want to send her a random twit, you're probably one of 1,872 guys that want to do the same thing. No woman is gonna take you seriously if the first thing you say to her is behind a computer screen. I agree, there are beautiful women online, but I promise you, there's a lot more beautiful women at your local Wal-Mart.
