Subpar expectations June 29, 2006
Posted by charmingbutsingle in Uncategorized.trackback
There are certain things about online dating that make me want to punch my computer screen. Like sorting through 57 pages of pictures and profiles and finding two acceptable guys. Or really liking a profile and then getting to the section for race and ethnicity and seeing that the guy has written, “Yes, I am 100 percent white! Oh yeah!” And then wondering if I’m subconsciously attracted to a guy who brags about being “100 percent white” and maybe I need to re-evaluate some things.
My newest pet peeve is when I’m looking at a profile of a guy who contacted me on Match.com and it says, “HE E-MAILED YOU!” in all caps and with an exclamation point on the top of the profile.
HE! E-MAILED! YOU!
Is this really an all caps exclamation point situation? Some random dude that I probably won’t like sent me an e-mail?
HE! E-MAILED! YOU!
Does he want a cookie?
Save the emphasis for something important – like, say, “HE CALLED YOU BACK!” or, even better, “HE IS NORMAL!”
Folks, it’s a slippery slope and I fear I’m heading straight to bitter.
I was just thinking of posting about this exact same thing, as I contemplate whether or not I want to date again.
Or rather, date again not even a month after getting dumped.
As I’m so darn busy with school, I don’t have time to meet any men. And so I turn to the standby - online dating. But the profiles - the spelling/grammar/etc. errors…the comments…
I’m wondering if I’m just better off being the old lady with the cats…
I am more your type, baby. I am 1000 percent black…oh, yeah!!!
I’m so black when I go outside, the streetlights come on!
Lol! I loved the I am so black when i go outside the streetlights come on - excellent!
Anyway I think worse than that is when you trawl through all the profiles find one who is even close to chemistry and you arrange to go out and he asks you what you want to eat and you say anything except Mexican food and he takes you to a Mexican restaurant! and there is no chemistry! Aargghhh
I would say that guy is pretty stupid.
: )
You are very open in your blog. Dating and the manuevering of the single life does indeed suck, but I like your stories. Very humorous.
And what a truly slippery slope it is. Don’t give up all hope yet!
why don’t you post your snap on your blog ?
we can give you more informed advice after seeing how you look .
Ebbye, chica, what do have against Mexicans?
I am 10,000 percent Latino…oh, yeah!!!
Come and live la vida loca with me!
S.R. - What do you have against stupid guys?
You are severely limiting your prospects.
I once met someone from Match. She looked quite cute. Gentle. Secure. Motherly material.
“Athletic and toned.” Bonus
Yeah. Athletic and toned like a female wrestler.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, buy a puppy and go man shopping at the dog park.
Ah yes, Bitterville. How I know the place well. The older I get the more time I find I’m there. It’s hard not to be after you’ve been out there for so long…and you still are despite your best efforts not to be.
Hang in there though. Everything will work out for the best.
All we can do is hope for the best. I analyzed my choices (through a sophisticated analysis technique!) and decided that a well-written profile carries a lot more weight than a pretty picture. But both would be a bonus!
First of all - I love the template. So cute.
Secondly, I think it’s ridiculous that they make such a big deal about the email thing. It’s like they’re trying to pump you up and make you think it’s a big deal, and if you think an email is a big deal, the guy probably won’t want to date you.
hi there.. i liked the name of your blog and came to cheack it out thinking you must be a guy
but nice post!
have just sratred blogging - so do drop by on my blog
I didn’t have the best of luck with Match.com either.
Some of the freakiest guys came from the most vanilla profiles.

I’m male and straight. I just stumbled onto this site like a drunk on a big city street. : P
Actually, I’ve never tried Internet dating but I’ve thought about it. At least there you won’t get the “I’ve got a boyfriend” biz, or the big Run Around where the lady doesn’t want to date you but won’t come out with it.
Oh S.R., you have a lot to learn about internet dating.

I like meeting men the old fashioned way - drunk in a bar.
I see we shop at the same blog template store! You look great!
Hang in there…I’ve met quite a few great guys on Match and have made a bunch of friends.
I don’t use Match, but the other sites are pretty much the same. Like you’re supposed to be excited when a guy 23 yrs your senior sends you a creepy email acknowledging he’s ‘a bit’ out of your preferred age bracket and blahblahblah. DELETE is the thing that should be capitalized.
I hear you girl.. good luck. I’m in the same boat.
That is hysterically funny but I couldn’t agree more.
