Oh the wonderful topic of online dating. Just starting out with a heads up on this blog today, I am very anti-men at the moment!
Okay so online dating seems to be the “in” thing at the moment. Every time you watch television you see a commercial for E Harmony or Match.com. I won’t lie I signed up for match.com during one of their free weekends to see who else was on it. I always like signing up for things to see if I know anyone. Well I signed up, made a profile, realized the “free” part was bull and deleted it. I REFUSED to pay monthly to meet the “right” guy. I’m not knocking the people who do pay but sorry I have more important things to pay for each month like clothes, food, alcohol, Louis Vuitton bags, and gas; then paying to meet a man.
One night my I went out with my guy friends and they were talking about this website Plentyoffish.com. They kept saying how it seemed like a cool website and they were getting messages from a few girls and it couldn’t be too bad because they were on their phones A LOT of the night responding to these girls. Well my purpose was not to get messages from girls but the next morning I soberly signed up. It seemed okay at first, until the messages started. They were from CREEPERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! One guy proceeded to send me a message telling me how I was “thick and sexy.” Did he really think that was going to get a response, like I would say “OMG YOU ARE MY PRINCE CHARMING!” The weird messages continued constantly, one guy told me how I needed to stand up for myself, others asked for sex dates, some seemed normal. A LOT of the messages just went into the trash folder and did not get a response. I was interested in that website for like a week, and then I was over it. I still have the app on my phone and go on randomly but I have given up on it. The guys just turned out to be bizarre. With the messages I got it just showed men have no sensor and really should think before they type.
I have to admit online dating scares me. When I younger and I felt nothing could happen to me I met people from MySpace, but once I got a little older that stopped. Come on we are all invincible when we are in high school and college right. We are never going to meet a rapist or murderer on the internet! HAHAHA! You really have no idea if these people are really who they say they are. I know that happens in bars too but at least in a bar you see what this person looks like. It’s not a 60 year old pedophile trying to meet little girls. I watch too many crime shows (LAW & ORDER: SVU) to trust all these new dating techniques. For right now I’ll stick to just not dating, because I’ve come to realize there aren’t any good guys right now online or in real life. They all seem to disappoint. Bummer summer!
