#life

MOVING FORWARD!

Lindzi, YOU ARE A JEWEL!!!!!!  I can't even express the relief I feel, to know that SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS MY BACK,as well as my TOTAL ADMIRATION FOR HOW YOU REWORKED RAT BASTARD'S LOVE LETTER!!!!! I am actually including below my entire file of the love letters to date, so you can look them over and work some of your magic into some of these!!! (Which are mostly so mediocre and unimaginative--I was starting to regret this love letter idea till I saw how you were capable of reading between their lines!) 

And your work on said rat bastard's personal life--TOTAL GENIUS!!!!!  Lindzi, NO OFFENSE, but I think you may have missed your calling up until this point in time...I see us as a DREAM TEAM working together on #life...with your connections and imagination, plus my FANATIC OBSESSION I don't see how we can fail to be a MAJOR LEAGUE NATIONAL SUCCESS.

So yes DEFINITELY LET RAT BASTARD KNOW WE HAVE SKINNY ON HIM.  Behind that giorgio exterior there is a nasty little sarcastic brain working away, and we need to let it know who's boss.  

I wouldn't reveal the FULL EXTENT of our black mailing material all at once, however: let it drip out by degrees as needed so he LIVES IN FEAR  about what we might know/drop-bomb on his precious nacho-consuming fantasy football buds, if he so much as MOVES A SINGLE EYEBROW HAIR out of line or makes a squawk about what we expect him to do at #life.  We have to RETAIN A FIRM CLAMP with this person.  And I WOULD CONTINUE poking into his past  to see what pops out--we can gain major leverage that could continue to reap goldmines throughout this whole season.  I see a well-behaved, docile Derek to obediently trot out starry eyed potential matches as a major asset to us over the next six weeks.  

That being said, I read with great interest your ideas for making a great story for the show...I get where you are going with the idea of heartbreak being a real seller--after all, raw human emotion is the CRACK COCAINE of our business--however, we also have to consider that as well as trying to establish a powerful story line for people to follow, we are also trying to make that story a fairy tale...What I am trying to get across here is that we are, at base economic level,  a dating site reaching out across demographics for paying customers who will identify themselves with our matches and mentally project themselves into the dates we arrange.  These, pragmatically, are our bread and butter.  And let's face it: they aren't doing so well at this point in their lives.  (As I have learned from extensively interviewing our matches.) These are  people who have failed romantically, in every other arena of their lives.  They are the limping wounded, afraid to show face in movie theaters and restaurants because they are TOTALLY ALONE IN THIS WORLD.  To most, we may represent the last available life preserver before the cold waters of utter isolation and complete romantic obliteration close over their desperate flailing hands!!!!!

Question: do we want these people to think we will toss all their palpitating little hearts into the woodchipper if they sign up for #life???

Do you see where I am going??? So, whereas it would be extremely tempting to speculate about and potentially engineer THE TOTAL PSYCHOSEXUAL ANNIHILATION of someone under the brutal glare of public limelight (and I would definitely watch that show!) it also behooves us to remember that we are trying to attract customers who are attempting with all their pitiful last strength to reach out PAST the desperate booty calls, BEYOND  the sad and overworked pickings at the bar, ABOVE the furtive sneaking around in the aisles of adult book stores: they are trying to ELEVATE to something more MATURE AND PERMANENT by seeking out a dating site (and let's face it, something COMFORTABLE.)  So I am diffident about throwing our matches into emotional blenders for this reason.
