You Know Those Web-Cam Weirdos

I hate them. Seriously, why do you do what you do? Ok, I'll explain. Yesterday I was on yahoo, just checking my mail, and some random person dings me. I'll admit, they weren't completely random, they'd requested to 'connect' with me or whatever, and I said yes. I'm not in the habit of adding random people-in fact I frequently go through my social networking accounts, the two I have, and delete people I don't really think I know that well-but I didn't think it was a random person. The name was strangely similar to a friend of my mom's, so i'd accepted, thinking she wanted to talk to me about my mom. They weren't a friend of my mom's, obviously, but I was still fine with that. I'm a friendly person, I'll talk to a stranger so long as they don't try to make the conversation too personal or dirty. They asked where I was from... twice, seeming only like some auto thing that wasn't even paying attention to what I said back. Here's our conversation and I'll explain the rest of why I hate them after:
After I said where I was from...
Them: I love flirting on my web cam.
Me: That's nice?
Them: Do you have a web cam?
Me: No. I don't do web cam chats. I find only weirdos do.
Them: I mean... Do you want to see me on my web cam?
Me: No, thanks. I'm fine with chatting to you like this, even though I don't know you, but I don't do web cam talks-period.
Them: Here's my website-whatever it was, I didn't care-if you want to come check me out. I'll be waiting for you.
Me: Thanks for that. You can keep waiting-I'm not interested. Good luck with your next scam, Web Cam Weirdo.
And then I blocked them. Another wierd thing about it. It was a woman. Obviously, that doesn't sound so weird to start out with, but it does when you learn that I'm a straight woman. I mean, come on, did she-or whoever that was, I don't really know-even research her target at all? I mean, I never told her I was straight, but I certainly never said I was interested in anything more than casual chattering with another human being. I didn't want to be rude and assume she was a weirdo-until the end, when I knew she was-and jump the gun by saying, "Whoa, hey, I'm straight, so..." You know?
Why do people do that anyway? Every time you chat with someone online its got to be... gross. Why's that, uh? Can you not just be in need of a normal conversation and find another normal person to chat with online? I guess not. I guess all the normal people already have friends online to talk to so they don't need strangers. I mean, I do, too, but I usually don't care about any kind of chatting online. I'm usually too busy researching or whatever, you know?
Well, that's all. People are weird, gross, and stupid. Yay, life. =]
