friendster might be the end of the world
When I first made a Friendster profile a couple years ago, I was amazed at how many people from my past were already users. I found my best friend from junior high/freshman year of high school, and a ton of my college buddies were using it as well.
Lately, however, Friendster has become a bit scarier. I’m getting messages from strangers who find my profile and write me. Now, this isn’t weird on its own considering I get emails from strangers every day because of my blog, but on Friendster I seem to attract the kind of guy who roams the Internet for lovely ladies to become soul mates with. By that I mean “the kind of guy who creates a form letter he sends to multiple women online each and every day of his existence.”
One guy, “R”, writes:
hello Paige. You really looks so nice. I will be happy to know more about you. Please send me a message back. I promise that I will tell you all what you want to know. But don’t delete my message without writing me back. I will wait each hour for you replay. I live here in Germany near Frankfurt. Please read my profile to know a little bit more about me. And don’t forget, I am waiting for your message. R
Don’t worry R, as each hour passes I will remember that you are waiting for my “replay”.

Hello Paige the INTERNET is a wonderful place for the world to meet in a harmony of souls to share an information of great importance because of this importance I am writing you on this day to hop for reply. You are seeming to be some wonderful woman of the INernet and I will be glad to hear a message from you.
Do you know how much this means to me? I am a “wonderful woman of the internet”! I thought that title was reserved for camwhores and those women who send notices out each time someone in their town needs a kidney!
