I believe you’ll remember Mike, the man who showed us how not to get a second date last week. While we’re still not sure if Mike is a douchebag or a man struggling with some very real issues, we present you with yet another one of his lengthy emails making its way around the interweb. This one comes via Danielle, a woman who claims to have been corresponding with Mike about a Craigslist rental back in 2006. This time, it’s the friendship end of the human interaction spectrum he’s after. Real? Copycat? Or maybe Mike never existed in the first place? Thoughts? Check out another one of “Mike”‘s alleged manifestos after the jump. [Observer] Keep reading »

It’s pretty clear that when it comes to emailing, women are the superior executors of online, text-based transmissions. Leave the same medium in the hands of men, and, well, things go off the rails.

Life Lesson: Don’t Rip People Off And Put The Evidence In A Love Letter

Ami AngelowiczApril 27, 2010 //

In case you didn’t already know, it’s wrong to knowingly rip people off. Ya know, like when our economy went to hell and big banks claimed to have no idea that the housing market was about to collapse. Because giving home loans to people who can’t pay them back and then having people invest in bundles of such loans is like totally legit and ethical. Anyway, if you are knowingly ripping people off in said fashion, you probably don’t want to share that information in emails to your lover.

Goldman Sachs bond trader, Fabrice Tourre, who liked to refer to himself as “fabulous Fab,” made some not-so-fabu electronic whoopsies that will be at the center of the SEC fraud hearing against the company. Keep reading »

Crazy Emails From A Girlfriend Gone Mad

Wendy AtterberryAugust 11, 2009 //

I think most of us at some point in our lives have sent an email or text in the heat of an angry moment that we later regretted. In the summer of 2007, a girl named Em didn’t have an angry moment, she had an angry two weeks, during which time she sent a slew of bitter emails to the boyfriend that she thought was avoiding her. By the time she learned he wasn’t really ignoring her, but was actually traveling through Europe — something he’d mentioned many times to her before he left — it was too late. The emails had been sent, the damage had been done, and now this little video of her big mistake has been put together so we can all feel so much better about any communication snafus we’ve made in the past. The transcript is here for the impatient among us. The only thing that would make this funnier is if the two got married, and then divorced, and the guy sent this email to her.

In Their Own Way, Text Messages Are Keeping Romance Alive

Catherine StrawnFebruary 10, 2009 //

A survey by the U.K.’s National Trust found that 70 percent of women and 53 percent of men would rather get a love letter or poem than a text or email. Yet, of the 2,558 people surveyed, 62 percent had never sent a love letter, while 69 percent had sent an “I love you” text. Is technology killing romance?

Annika HarrisSeptember 11, 2008 //

Texting is a definite advantage in communication. You can tell people exactly what you want to say without actually speaking to them. You can send random photos to friends to make them laugh. And you can totally flirt with your guy or gal on the sly. But flirting is also a danger of texting, just look at all the trouble Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has gotten into. Keep reading »

Emails From Mom

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 26, 2008 //

I just found this cute new blog that features touching, adorable, mom-written emails sent in by readers. This is such a coincidence because my mom just sent our general Frisky email account some feedback on the site, saying that we should “solicit writing by aspiring women writers with stories and poetry about relationships” which made me laugh because I thought she knew I hated (most) poetry. Next time your mom emails you to remind you to take your vitamins, or your grandma sends you a little note from her AOL account saying that she hears the weather is horrible in your area, head on over to Postcards From Yo Momma and submit them for public consumption.
