I've been on a dating website or two for awhile now, and it is officially time to call it quits. I can't say I haven't had any luck, but the ones I want--I can't have and the ones I don't want--are the ones I get. After repeated emails from creatures from the abyss and beasts from the underworld, along with a few of my own misfortunes, I am deleting my online dating accounts. I always thought online dating was stupid anyways. I would much rather meet someone in person rather than being the "1 in 5 relationships" started on eHarmony and such. It's hard to get the feel for a person until you see how they carry themselves. Sure, I've met a few people of interest on POF, been on some dates, and disappointedly reconnected with some people on Match, but for the most part, it has been a discouraging endeavour.
Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, I know I am not perfect, but do I come off as a guy of extremely low standards?? Maybe if people actually read what I had to say--if they can even read at all, they would have realized that we have no chance what-so-ever. I have the sense to stop if I ever catch myself looking out of my range or league--I am not so low that I am gonna creep on some 18-year-olds.
I literally had a 72-year old lady dressed in a mini jean skirt and sports bra write me several time despite the fact I never wrote her back. She tells me about herself and asks me if she is too old for me. Fuck lady, you are twice my age. If you would have read my profile, you would have seen "WANTS kids"! At your age, I am sure your uteral cavity has been dried out like a piece of pemmican for quite some time now. Besides gold diggers and sugar mama/daddies, does any self respecting person ever really date within that large of an age range?? Frankly, I think it's pretty nasty.
So besides that, I've had a shit-ton of morbidly obese and/or bat shit crazy girls write me telling me about their five kids with five different daddies, and wanting a man that can take care of them. Sorry, but that man is not me.
Seriously, I am just fed up with dating. I don't even want to think about it anymore. If someone special comes along--great! If not, fuck it--I'll get a cat or something. I am not saying everyone online are bad people, and I believe that everyone deserves to be loved and in love--BUT it has to be to the right person. If she is out there, I hope she stands out, because I am done with the hunt.
Just promise to give us a heads up before you get to the "I'm the crazy guy next door with the seven cats" phase. Please!?
