An Intriguing Start

So while it's 2:30 on a Sunday night and I'm watching some tv and browsing the internet until it lulls me to sleep, I figured, why not respond?

My name is Beau, and I am most definitely a "man of stature," at 6'5" and around 300lbs...which no one believes when I tell them. My frame allows me to carry the weight around well. There's the important stats out of the way.

I love cars, blues music, and entertaining. I work as a host/server at one of the city's famous comedy theatres that is an awesome gig which coincides with my love of improvising.

I share the same views on women as you do on men, in that I have no idea what attracts a person to a bag of bones. It is a mystery that I am not wasting any time on trying to solve.

Like I said, your post has intrigued me, which is why I felt compelled to respond, which is what I hope my response inspires you to do in turn, because you sound like someone who would be interesting to get to know.

I hope this finds you well, and I hope you had a good weekend.

Sincerely,
Beau

Dear Beau,

Initially, the purpose of my post was solely to comment on society's impossible demands for physical perfection and the mental damage it is doing to men in our communities. I've been bombarded with emails from men expressing their appreciation and gratitude for the post. Someone even sent me a porn vid of themselves, can you believe that? CREEPY!

Your response was intriguing for a couple reasons. I also love blues music and jazz. I love Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy. I also love Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, and Ella Fitzgerald. B.B. King's daughter, Shirley King does a set most Wednesday nights at this bar I frequent called The Joynt. You should check it out. I think you might enjoy it.

I also like comedy theatres and I'm tempted to guess that you work at Second City. If I'm right, then we may have seen each other before. I took a comedic writing course last fall and caught a few shows. I'm tempted to go back and take an Improv class. I think that would be fun.

I have all these questions but I don't want this email to get too long so I'll ask one more question and be done: How old are you?

Kindly,
Ms. Technoheart
