In lieu of writing run-on sentences about my plea for chivalry's return, I'm going to go ahead and just exploit messages I've received in the past on popular dating site, OkCupid. I'm even going to edit out their names and faces, 'cause I'm selfless like that.
1. "Missed Connection"
Is there a right or wrong answer? |
I don't even... know what he just said. |
3. "Dirty Talk"
Quite the Shakespeare.. |
4. "Points for Creativity"
I want to see David use this at the bar. |
5. "Can't Buy Me Love"
For the record, he's sent me this message four other times. |
You see where I'm going with this? THIS is the dating scene. The worst is when I get a follow-up message, "Least you could do is respond. I don't bite." What these guys don't realize is... I'm actually doing them a favor by not responding. Believe me, I love messing with people. I have had to practice an incredible amount of self-control to not respond with some smart-ass remark. It's like a new type of meditation. The mantra? "Be patient, grasshopper. These mortals do not deserve your effort. Swallow the fury."
I thought if I had an extremely zen approach, I'd just karmically receive something back. That hasn't happened yet, so I've tossed out peaceful apathy and decided to start using my dick. Literally.
*Bonus: "The Rebuttal"
Oh no, I "forgot" to blur out his face and username. |
