We've all been warned. "That sexy girl you're chatting with on the Internet is probably a 40 year old man." Some people, just never listen. Around a year ago, yours truly was dating a young attractive woman. After returning to college for the second semester of her sophomore year, she decided she needed space, wanted to see what other men the world offered, and soon decided to end our relationship. I was upset, but not too bad off until she let me know she was already seeing someone else. It had been four days. Talk about crushed. She attempted, and still attempts, to remain friends. All I wanted to know was what this guy offered that I didn't.

After a few weeks, she told me various things about her new beau and actually started forwarding jokes he sent her though e-mail, thus giving me his address and since he used AOL, his screen name. A month passed and one night I decided to pop his screen name into my favorite search engine and see what happened. Only one page was found. A PERSONAL AD ON AMERICA ONLINE! Wow, I couldn't believe it. This guy had my girl and he had a personal ad up. I had to check it out. It was terrible and he was butt ugly. I started to feel a little better about myself. Then I checked the date the ad was posted. He posted it AFTER he started dating "her". I was a bit angry. My girl, someone I cared for, left me for a guy that seemed to just be in it for a piece of ass.

I decided to see if he would respond to an e-mail from a total female stranger. I downloaded a head shot from the web, created a Yahoo! mail account, Yahoo! profile and finally a geocities web page. All three featured just one picture of this new girl. Just one e-mail was sent, telling him that he looked good and maybe we could talk. Within hours, there were three pictures in my Yahoo! inbox and he requested that we chat via AIM. An account was created and sure enough, the guy that thinks he should be a model bit: hook, line and sinker. We chatted and he did admit to having a girlfriend, but didn't care because we lived so close together. His thoughts were:

He wrote a few times and since he believe we lived close, invited me to meet him at various bars and clubs. I never replied, just saved the mail and waited. Another month past, my ex calling me and telling me she still cared about me, but that her new man was really good to her. I decided it was time. I forwarded her every e-mail he sent and the log of our conversation over AIM. I also included the pictures you see throughout this page. I was avenged. Evil? Hell yes. Funny? DAMN RIGHT.
