Am I supposed to be impressed?

Shit people send me on a dating web-site in hopes of winning my love. Or sex.

Intelligence is Attractive.

A word of advice to anyone out there in the online dating world, or anyone who wants to attract a mate with a brain, spelling DOES matter.  The fastest way for me to completely dismiss someone as a potential match is for them to send me something short, sweet, and completely misspelled.  Here are a few humorous examples:

hiya

just wanted to say you have the most beautiful eyes ive seen in a long time… and you are just damn gorges!

Gorges, ay?  How sweet.

Hello! my name is Dauty Knight and i’m making a new video called
“I have the most beautiful eyes and hair and i love to smile and even gigle” would u like to take part?

Sorry Dauty Knight, I don’t know how to gigle. 

I have one red shoeso how do you like this weather here in sac i think the fire are really messing up the ecosystem for the plant life in norcal any thoughts on the matter

Punctuation.  Please.     That’s enough for now, just digging through the inbox to find those little gems was enough to make my head throb—or maybe that’s my heart?  Tune in next time for a piece where a bunch of strangers try to give me advice on how to live my life, it’ll be great.

Pirate Love.

This guy’s picture is a pirate with the face blurred out.  His message:

Ahoy! Ye saucy wench!

Seein’ yer’ picture on this her’ webspace sent me cannon lookin’ skyward. I must admit to havin’ a strong desire to court ye’ in matters of a most intimate nature. Har! Har! Tis a fine day for this salty-sea-dog to be makin’ with the woo-in’ on some fine lasses!

  Needless to say, I did not respond.    

Worst thing you’ve ever done?

Messages in an online dating community can get really boring.  They usually say “Hey, wanna chat?” or “What’s up cutie?”  So I eventually got sick of this and posted on my page that if you wanted me to read your messages, you had to write something interesting.  A crazy random story, the best thing you’ve ever done, or the worst.  Then you get stories like this…

When I was about 18 yrs old - I lived in FL.

I met a girl online through WebTV (do you even remember that shit?). She was so freaking hot, probably the hottest girl I’d ever had met at the time.

We had sex outdoors and after we were done …. I found out she was 16. FML

She goes, do you even care now we’ve already had sex? My response: Can’t change what’s already been done.

You said you liked random. That’s one of the many stories I have. Hope you didn’t delete it before you got to the end! haha 

Yeah, dude.  I totally want to date you.

Online dating and a grand idea.

A few years ago (I’m embarrassed to say this) I created an online dating profile, just to see what it was like.  Advertising yourself on the computer sucks, especially when you’re a bitch, like me.  However, I soon found that I wasn’t enough of a bitch online because all these creeps that I didn’t want to talk to were messaging me OFF THE HOOK, even though I’ve only responded to about 1% of received mail.  I’ve wanted to start a blog for a while, but couldn’t think of what to write about.  I’ve also wanted to delete my full inbox on my stupid dating profile, but there are 300 classic pieces of writing that I, for some reason, find hard to let go of.  I mean, some of these are REALLY FUNNY.  So I’m sharing them.  And before you go off thinking I’m a piece of shit, know that I will not give away these people’s names or usernames or post their pictures, I will just give you the age and maybe a basic physical description if it seems necessary.  And to anyone reading this who I may have talked to in the past—don’t worry.  If I replied to you, I will not post your shit because it probably was actually really nice and not funny.  So, here it goes.
