3 is the Magic Number

So I signed up for Match a couple weeks ago but didn't get a subscription until last night (finally).  Prior to getting the subscription, I had received emails through Match but couldn't read them until I gave Match some money (there's no such thing as a free lunch).  One of those emails was from C.  I forgot what it said but I deleted it because I wasn't interested (and from what I've learned of online dating, if you're not interested, you just ignore the messages, you don't write back and say "No thanks," except that one guy that did but I digress).  I cleaned up my profile and photos a bit and started searching for love (or, you know, a date).

This morning I check my Match email and what should I see but three emails from C.  Not one, hell, not even two, but three.  Count them: one, two, three.  In a span of 2 minutes. [ETA: That's three emails and a wink, in 2 minutes, in case I didn't get the hint from the three emails.]

Now some of my friends are telling me that I need to go easy on the online guys, that I'm being a little too picky or stringent with my standards; I need to give these guys a chance.  And to that I say...

Fuck you.

Okay, just kidding.  To that I actually say, I don't want a guy that asks me, "Do you have sexy feet?"  I don't want a guy with horrible grammar and spelling, because that matters to me.  I don't like guys that come on too strong, i.e. three emails in a 2 minute timeframe, or guys that wonder why I haven't called them within 24 hours. 

I shouldn't have to apologize for having these standards - this is what I want, why should I compromise?  If I said I wanted a Catholic guy, would you tell me to give the Jewish guys a chance?  If I said I wanted a tall guy would you say I should check out the short guys?   Why shouldn't I seek what I want?  Granted, if I keep searching the way I am, with these current standards, and I find that I'm unsuccessful, then sure, I can re-evaluate my standards if necessary  But for now, I want what I want.  Why shouldn't I look for that and weed out the men that don't fit that criteria?

Friends have joked that I'm trying to find the perfect man and that's just not true.  I'm trying to find the man that's perfect for me.  There's a difference.

ETA: So C, the aforementioned guy from Match, not only sent me his first email a couple weeks ago, and then three more emails last week in a span of 2 minutes (including a wink), but Saturday he sent me a fifth email.  I asked the universe (aka Twitter and Facebook) how I should handle this - do I just keep ignoring him, do I tell him "No thanks," or do I block him?  Before I could get a full consensus, C goes and emails me a sixth time, that same day.  So I opted to block him.  I'm not trying to be a snob here and I'm not a supermodel who can afford to be picky.  However, I want what I want and what I want is not a guy who emails me six times in hopes that maybe, JUST MAYBE, that sixth time will do the trick.
