“The End” Really?

5 May

I have a friend that I met on plentyoffish.com about a year ago. She’s a great lady, a lot of fun and one of those people you would refer to as a force of nature. You wouldn’t think a woman like that would have a problem with online dating. In fact she was having a hard time with it. Dealing with the idiots, assholes and men in general who only want sex or to dive into a committed co-dependent relationship immediately upon meeting. No really she told me all of those stories, most of them multiple times.

It was really getting her down.

But once I got her to embrace the proper attitude (tell you about it some other time) she started to enjoy the process a little better. And I started getting emails with links to men’s profiles that were just perfect examples why no women would ever want to meet anyone with the same genetic makeup as what was splashed across the screen in front of her. And these examples of absurdly bad (photos, writing, grammar, intelligence, you name it) were supposed to attract women. But in reality merely provoked tittering or revulsion.

They were all pretty bad. One guy had a pic that looked like he found a hair ad in GQ and scanned that in as his picture. One that made the Unabomber FBI wanted sketch look like Matthew Mcconaughey. Not to mention several that tried to pander with lines like “I like to cuddle on the couch too.” Or “how about a long walk on the beach.” Or “maybe you can be the lucky girl that gets to travel the world with me.” Bleech! That shit creeps me out, do these guys have any success with that approach?

And then there is this guy. A fairly normal, reasonably attractive looking man in his late 40s. He looked fit in his pictures and he seems to be some sort of pilot. And his profile is titled “The End.”

Well, I’m just about ready to give up, I think that I will just stop looking and live the rest of my life alone. Can’t find an attractive woman who is trustworthy and faithful, plus I am a nice guy so I get taken advantage of. Why is it so bad to really care about someone? But the more you show it the more you get ****ed over. American women are not for me! More and more I hear American men are going overseas to find women to marry and I don’t blame them. From now on my time, my money and my love are all for me and me alone, who better than to spend time with than myself? I can go where I want when I want, enjoy what I like and not have to go do something just because a woman I am interested wants to go so I can please her. From now on I am all about me, just like all American women. Good luck to everyone on finding someone, I give up.

Obviously Mr. Disappointed McAngrypants is a bit too sensitive for the online dating life.

What can I say, it can suck.
