I'm sorry, but I prefer to eat my frozen confections before partaking in robberies, heists, or other assorted shenanigans.
Usually I just think my snarky comments, but sometimes I can't stop myself from writing them.
Excellent! That is the reason I'm on a dating site after all - to find a good investor.
First off - ew! Secondly, no one likes the disclaimer of "you look good FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS KIDS."
Talk like Yoda you do.
How long did it take you to come up with that one word message?
Two words! Keep going, guys. Pretty soon you'll have a whole sentence!
I'm sorry, but what language are you speaking?
I'm not familiar with yoy. I love wine.
What did you call me? Wait, what???
Oh, look at you trying to converse using only emoticons like a 4 year old, or a teenager!
Ummm, what?
Pro tip - if one doesn't respond after the first three "messages" one probably isn't interested.
Are you calling me a dork? And using random abbreviations? Am I missing something???
If only I gave points for persistence.
:::Banging my head against the wall:::
The rambling ADD, the putting syrup on Italian food . . . Buddy the elf, is that you???
You don't sound rude; you sound stupid. Who makes a mistake on their age? Or shall I say Aged?
Hear that, folks? I'm a good writter. And, apparently I'm a mile away from wawa.
Is this an existential question?
Oh yes, yes, I completely agree. Wait, what are we talking about?
I just threw up a little.
Although you show the utmost class, I'm going to ignore you anyway.
It's not exactly a smile. No, I'd say it's more of a grimace.
Yeah, I'm gonna pass on you texting me pictures. Thanks, but pass. Hard pass.
Shoot me now.
Sure, you can play the part of a freak, and I'll play the part of someone who is going to be single for the rest of her life.
(If you're wondering, this was just a very small sampling of the kinds of messages I got on POF. Supposedly POF stands for Plenty of Fish. I think Plenty of Freaks is a better fit, however. I'm on Match now which is much better, but still . . . I'm thankful my membership expires soon!)
This is horrific. It reminds me of looking for a piece of furniture on Craigslist, but then I have to stop because I get overwhelmed with the realization of how much ugly furniture is out there.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's scary!!
ReplyDeleteI actually met my husband on POF, but there are a lot more freaks than fish!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing since that one guy mentioned "dorks" that he is one and therefore BSG probably stands for Battle Star Galactica. Just saying. I wouldn't say I'm a dork, but I am firmly in the nerd category (I have a "Nerd Princess" shirt to prove it).
ReplyDeleteI tried online dating sites on and off for years. Being a single mom made it almost impossible to meet someone offline. I must say that plenty of fish was always the worst experiences for me. I would never recommend that site. I cannot comment on Craigslist forums because I was weirded out from just one response and I never went back to the forums on Craigslist. However, craigslist didn't seem as bad or as creepy as plenty of fish. I did decide to try OkCupid as a last chance and I ended up meeting my fiance. We have been together for over a year and are actually getting married this June!
