This is CEFAD gold. No, the guy's not a completely terrible person, but holy crap this email was bad. And the fact that he sent it onto someone else with the tag "look how big my balls are?" Dick.

The older I get, the simpler I like my missives. If I have to hit the scroll wheel on the mouse it's too damn long.

I'm so glad I'm past the age to even be tempted by college students.

Um, clearly this dude is not an Ask Men reader.

"I'm not ready for a girlfriend right now. Have fun in France! Luv ya!" would have sufficed just perfectly.

I love this part: "The truth is I don't have a huge ego. I have confidence, but that doesn't mean I have a huge ego."

Really. 'Cause the 12,000 other sentences in your little novel there says otherwise.

I read somewhere that since Dexter came on the air, sociopathy has replaced Asperger's syndrome as the internet self-diagnosis of choice. I know I've seen at least 3 guys type, "I've never been diagnosed, but I'm definitely a little bit of a sociopath."

@Fatwetdog: Can you be "a little bit of a sociopath?" Seems like an either/or proposition. Like being dead.

I'll admit I started skimming 2/3 of the way through. This douche sounds too much like my ex-husband, who sent me a handwritten 4 page letter after our divorce was final. It started out placing the blame on him and his shortcomings, then moved on to how he wasn't to blame because he had been diagnosed with a personality disorder at age 16. He ended his epic by 'proving' I was a heartless whore who had taken advantage of him.

Gaah! I've gotta start staying away from CEFAD posts for my own good, but I just can't. It's my crack.

"What hurts me is the fact that I knew exactly what was happening. Why had I never committed to anything? Why hadn't I taken any step? Maybe it's the fear of being in a "relationship" that keeps me from doing that, the fear that I could maybe dedicate 15% of my time to a girl when I could be dedicating 100% of my time to myself, to my career, towards reaching my goals. It's self-centered, I know. It's selfish. I'm an asshole for being that way, but I can't help it."

I received an email just like this. Fortunately for me it was shorter.

"When you tell me what I do makes you feel bad, it makes me feel bad and I don't want to feel bad.

I need time alone. I'm sorry it just doesn't suit most people.

I need to focus on my career. I don't think we shouldn't see each other anymore."

The last part confused me.

He was a douche.

Anyone who talks about you as if you are somehow a "waste of their time" or that they could be doing any number of things besides being with you is a DOUCHE not a sociopath.

Ted Bundy was a sociopath and he was apparently very charming.

This dude? Not charming.

I know this goes without being said... but for a sociopath to send this letter... the irony... Emotion. The word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means. But then he's clearly still in his 'I am a creature like no other' phase.

Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.

Mr. Vivelafat sent me the most beautiful love email. It said:

If there was any lovelier lady ever to grace this good green Earth her name woudl be the word for love and comfort. So, to me, I say Vivelafat when I say I love you. I say Vivelaft when I mean I am nothing without you.

Le Sigh. Maybe it doesn't really make sense but it makes me feel good. I printed it and taped it to my monitor. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Barthes.

But to be rejected because you're too good... When you're sitting across from someone and telling them your plans, telling them your dreams, sharing and opening up to them because you trust that they know you, that they like you for you, and for them to just abandon it all because you're just too good, too damn promising, that hurts because what the fuck are you supposed to say to that. I'm sorry I'm going to NYU, I'm sorry you think I'm a genius, I'm sorry I'm not going to fucking trade school like your asshole ex-boyfriend who's going nowhere outside a thirty mile radius of where he was born, I'm sorry you're content with your little plot in this world, I'm sorry I have big dreams.

Oh, honey, no. Please see, "It's not you, it's me" and "You deserve so much better than me." A nice girl was trying to tell you that she didn't like you in a nice way.

In reply to "Like I Said Before, I Have Some Sociopath Tendencies"
Wow, now that was pretty fucking epic.

Yeah, he likes to hear himself talk and his non-ego is pretty gross, but I wouldn't mind getting that letter back. At least he put in some effort and his grammar/spelling was impeccable.

Man, I must be really fucked up.

Okay, am I the only one who lost it laughing when he mentioned locking himself in his room and crying to "Dance with my Father"?

Has anyone suggested CEFAD Mad-Libs yet? "Jezebel, I see that you are feeling very (antiquated word describing strong emotion) for me right now. But I have been so busy with (douchey activity)that I have not been able to respond to your (condescening verb) e-mail until now. You see, I think of myself as (great male literary character).....
