I love Benny Goodman and it has nothing to do with this post.

I want to believe that there are people who can actually read profiles and lists. 

IF you put that you want to find a female flat mate and you mentioned it twice in the listing, why do people STILL INSIST AND HOPE THAT YOU CAN ACCEPT A MALE FLAT MATE? I don't get it really. I don't get it. 

Worse still, I've already got myself a new flat mate and there's still people emailing me if the place is available! I even get phone calls when I did not put up my phone number on the listing! Man, these people are so desperate that they can even invade your life! 

You know what is funny? Is that when I've already got a flat mate, only the emails start to roll in. If only they had emailed me earlier then I would have more options but some emails are pretty silly. 

For example, I've got this one recently: 

"Hi, my name is XYZ and I have a boyfriend. We would like to stay with you and be your flat mate. Thanks".

( Mistake? They never state what they will be doing or give a proper introduction. This sort of mail is definitely going into the trash for sure! )

Another one: 

"Hello! My name is ABC and I am working for Mercedes Automobile. I'm a male, 26, from Germany and I have a girlfriend."

( HA! He has a girlfriend and still wants to stay with two girls? Very interesting! ) 

This one really ticked me off:

"I've added you on MSN. - PQR"

(It made me want to burst because I received this mail after I turned on my MSN. I mean, I access my inbox via MSN and suddenly there's this stranger who added me on MSN and I thought she was some friend from my tutorial. Who knows, she's actually interested in the room! Plus, she has a boyfriend who will be staying with her! I've stated clearly that the room can only fit one person! )

These are only a few out of the many mails I've been receiving for the past month. Most of them seem to have ZERO ability to read the huge print that I'm looking for a single, female, ENGLISH speaking, tidy and responsible flat mate. 

:(

And most of them are university students which is sad. 

Oh, another sort of listing. Remember the tiny detail about me joining an online dating site to conduct a "mini field experiment" so I could find out the reason why people join online dating sites? I guess some males are too blind to see that I DO NOT WANT A FORTY YEAR OLD? 

Sheesh.
