Dating is Miserable but it’ll get you laid

Buddhists get it twice?!?!?!

Part of my OKCupid profile reads:

messageme2

The other day I received this lovely correspondence.

Putting really bad grammar and horrible username aside I absolutely abhor how men pick and choose which words to leave out of a sentence. Dating websites should be outlawed. I'm very thankful today marked the day I could disable my account again!

  2. What’s more disturbing than this grammatical/typographical clusterfuck is the meaning that he derived from what he read.

    He took everything indicated in your profile and seemingly turned you into his dream girl….when the exact opposite would appear to be true. He did a wonderful job projecting a bunch of stuff onto you. It’s sad more than anything else methinks.

    I guess we all construct a world to one degree or another that is at least partial fantasy in order to not deal with certain things that might be uncomfortable (such as the idea that ‘no woman will date me’).

    While it’s been EONS since I did any kind of substantive ‘online dating’, this kind of thing underscores the idea (which is not entirely removed from reality) that ‘some’ who do this kind of thing are socially awkward, painfully idiosyncratic (or just plain odd), etc. I think I went out on at least a dozen first dates with the female version of ‘amazing lover’.

    Of course…I usually didn’t discover this until I had actually committed to a date and/or purchased at least a round…sigh…

  3. Paul, you win at the comment game
    Matt, you pin pointed it exactly.

    Myself, way to go with the huge typo on your profile. Really a you’re/your mistake. TRAGIC

  4. Homonyms are hard.

    Let’s go to the bar.
