You were the head of marketing and you didn't know who your own customers were? ... Excuse me? If you feel you were wronged, sue them for what you feel is right and move on as quickly as possible. This entire situation sounds insane. Eit

"Hey Markus, you forgot to give me the information XYZ in time!" The most important thing to realize is that this is a test; he is testing whether or not you know how to play this game; whether or not you can be relied upon in the future

So in other words (for men) to get the most responses from dating sites, be happy and white and wear sunglasses in an outdoor setting with a 5 o'clock shadow and show your fit body? In other words be a rugged, outdoorsy, all-american white
