If you can't say anything nice...

Let me be clear - my feelings aren't hurt.  I am not disappointed.  I just think that there are nicer ways to tell someone you aren't interested.

Am I wrong?

To wit, he first wrote

how about a pic to share?

I responded that I could certainly send along a picture but before doing so I'd like to hear a little about why he responded to my ad.  I contend that's not too much to ask for.  A 6 word response doesn't really inspire me to share much, especially if he hasn't sent a photo along himself.

well to start I too dont drink smoke or do drugs of any kind very rare to fine some one else that doesnt you seem to have a possitive out look on life also

I responded but forgot that he was requesting a picture, so I didn't send one.  He asked again.  I sent a photo and asked if he also had one.  Trading them seems fair, right?

So he sends one, saying that he thought he already had.  Now, I'm not really complaining, but he didn't actually send a picture of himself; he sent a picture of his motorcycle.  In fact, he'd even titled the file "bike.jpg."  See what I mean?
 Okay, so he sends me this photo and then, two minutes later, he sends me another message.  TWO MINUTES.

if thats your pic please dont reply

I could go off on his lack of apostrophes or capital letters.  But I won't.  I'd rather say, didn't your mom ever tell you, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"?
