It wasn’t just the online profile photos that were bizarre.
These are actual things men wrote trying to convince me to go out with them. My thoughts are in italics.
“I am a cross between Shrek and Donkey”
(Is he saying he’s Shrek above the waist and Donkey below? Yikes!)
“Want correspondence with you”
(Wow, apparently the Neanderthals did survive after all, either that or this guy thinks he’s sending a telegram and is getting charged per letter.)
“you strayed forward I like that”
(It took me awhile to figure out he was trying to say I was “straight forward.” At first I thought he was saying I was straying into something, like traffic.)
“Wow. I think your really attractive. But I would need to see some pics with your teeth.”
(Okay, I’m not an old horse that’s for sale.)
More of these gems in later posts…
To be fair, after some horrible let downs in the teeth department I get what the guy is about. However, I would never actually say “need to see a picture with your teeth.” I’ve always finessed it with something like “would love to see a picture of you smiling; I bet you have a great smile!” or “I find a person’s smile tells so much about them” or some such BS (grin)! But yeah, this is all par for the course. Online dating is awful and I’ve recently given up on it for the 20th time. A flurry of one word e-mails just sent me into a depression/rage!
These. Are. Awesome! LOL Oh wow, these guys have NO game. It’s no wonder “their” still searching. I’m sorry you have to go through this. It’s the dues you pay for a good relationship I suppose. Lord knows I’ve got stories.
Thanks. : ) Wait til you hear my online dating stories. Oh. My. God.
Hahaha you’re hilarious!
