We used to get really good letters in the early days of the show. But not so much now. No idea why.
One of our all time favorites was a listener letter which originally aired in the long-gone VHUS v.5 back in early 2014.
Here's the actual (slightly-edited) e-mail from Lucas, whose experience set the Platinum standard for internet-dating-done-right (or wrong, depending how you look at it...)! ENJOY!

I got divorced for my 40th birthday, and it took 2 years of flirting with waitresses to make me desperate enough to try internet dating. And it sucked. I had a dozen horrible dates with the most vain, conceited, entitled, self-important princesses you can imagine. The prettier they were, the bitchier they were.
So I came up with a plan. I would only contact women with NO pictures and well-written, smart profiles. It took a while, but I finally found "R". She was smart, funny, had her shit together, had a good job and NO kids. We messaged back and forth for a month, but I never could get a picture out of her - so I didn’t send her one either. We talked a couple of times and finally decided to meet for dinner. I got to the restaurant early so I could check her out from a distance, just in case.
Then I saw her come in, wearing the outfit she described. NOT bad! Nice hair, Decent figure, good legs. I walked up to her with a smile on my face and introduced myself. She looked at me and said "I know you from somewhere?" I gave her a good close look over. Yeah, I knew HER from somewhere too. We got a table and started trading info, and it didn’t even take one drink to figure out how we knew each other.
"R" was my STEPSISTER, who moved into my dad’s house 6 months before I went off to college 24 years ago.
We had dinner anyway. And a few too many drinks. I’ll save you the guess work. Yes... yes... yes... and absolutely f*ck YES!
The response was huge (by VHUS standards), and our dozens of listeners asked the same question: "One night stand? Or is Thanksgiving going to be really uncomfortable this year?"
I dropped Lucas a note asking for a followup, but we never received a reply. Too bad. (FYI: I do NOT have a stepsister.)
