My real-life romantic life remains only sporadically eventful. But on the internet—on the internet— just look at all these lovely people who are waiting for me to contact them and rock their worlds.
(click for embiggening, as usual)
She is such a master poet that she can be playful with the English language.
So many poets looking for love! How romantic.
Always good to know what you want. But um, f*c*k*? Fucuku?
“Speaking” of knowing what you want. This was someone’s main headline; the thing everyone sees even before clicking on them. And they chose to put “nice voice” as a requirement? That’s fine and everything—everyone’s got things they look for—but I’ve never heard that one before.

1. TMI.
2. “I don’t steal” isn’t really something to brag about. Do you want a cookie for every person you don’t murder?
3. SUMTIME.
4. I see this outrage about posting kids’ pictures a lot. Do the same people complain about bringing kids out in public? Because I’m pretty sure pedophiles would have better luck stalking real people rather than trying to identify kids from their mom’s anonymous internet dating profile.
5. FRENZ.
But enough mocking people’s grammar and spelling. Not everyone can be all book-learned. Instead, they gotta express themselves through pictures.
What the fuck is this shit?
You’re floating over a pit of lava while your creepy-ass moon-clone stares at me? Is this supposed to subconsciously tap into “steamy” twin threesome fantasies? Sorry lady, but the heavenly bodies I do aren’t made of rock. ZING.
Nothing particularly wrong with these. The tattoos are only a little bit terrible. The weird part is that I seem to attract people with creepy wing tattoos on their backs. Three or four others messaged me or viewed my profile before I noticed the pattern and started taking pictures.
Here is an (apparently) counterintuitive little tip for dating profiles: you shouldn’t post pictures of yourself being fondled by other men. It’s not a jealousy thing; it’s a throw-up-in-my-mouth thing.
But hey, I always end these things on a positive note, so here is someone I would wine-dine-sixty-nine:
Not sure if it’s the veiny arms or the blackface, but something’s got the politically incorrect cockles of my heart all hot like lava.
———-
P.S. The next installment of this series is going to be a doozy. It’s a case study in WTF. Stay tuned.

Oh lord I could write a book on this subject! I've just joined a site again (OkCupid) a couple of mths after I vowed I wouldn't. I don't get it though, I don't seem to get any attention and the attention I DO get is from wierdos who are either in India or twice my age. Frustrating. I think maybe it's not so bad for guys?

I think men and women have different but equally bothersome problems with dating sites. Since guys are sort of expected to make first contact, there's more risk of rejection. And I think there are just more guys on there, so more need to stand out.
I just don't take it seriously and have fun with it, not expecting to actually meet anyone there, and that makes it less frustrating.

I think Fucuku is a Lovecraft monster?
I am glad I am married. I am way too grammar sensitive for the modern dating scene.

I was about to travel to Canada to kick you in the ass for ignoring “FRENZ,” but then you didn't. So you're safe for another day.
I've given up on dating entirely. I can't even find the funny in online dating profiles any more. It just makes me sad for humanity. And even more sad to know that most men prefer morons to women like me. Scary.

Also, I think that third asterisk was for an “s,” but I can't be sure why that needed to be bleeped.
The second one would be more of a mystery if anything else were spelled properly.

I can't wait for installment Six, you are better than TV (maybe not HBO, but..). If I ever feel tempted to try online dating again, I just have to re-read this. Shine is right, nobody wants to date smart, sassy women who know how to spell.

These posts and your ones about the people at the gym are my favorite. The commentary is better then “Mystery Science Theater 3000”. Part of me hopes you don't find someone so you'll continue to post these.
I think the chick with the “moon portrait” might be trying to pick up LARPers or D&D fans… Or maybe it's the volcano on the journey to Mordor to destroy the “ring”?

Hey Lady! Thanks! Hopefully even if I find someone, they'll appreciate the need to troll for blog fodder.

If you're interested to find someone compatible through online dating you should check weopia. It works with any dating site. I'm as skeptical as they come, but a friend that told me about insisted. It actually helps…

Blondie: They are hard! But there are 10 of them, and that means 10 chances for cookies. I may be coveting my neighbour's woman and idolizing myself right now, but I'm not stealing anything, so I still deserve a cookie.
