Raised by Idiots?


I decided, several weeks ago, to bite the bullet and join the world of online dating.
I made a profile, put up some pictures, and holy crap the vultures descended.
Seriously, I think I'm a good looking human but there must be some hags on that site because within three days I had about 20 emails or IMs.
There were some really unattractive men (one looked like Carrot Top's less attractive brother...if you can even imagine that) but for the most part I was swapping emails with about eight good looking, funny guys.
Then the nutjobs descended.
Let me bestow on you an example from the "douche files".
Mekhah, I remember the name because I had to type it in several places to block him from ever contacting me again.
One day he IMed me and struck up conversation, I was only on the site to respond to someone else's email but I was friendly and said hello back, then nicely told him I was signing off to get back to work.
He proceeded to 1) add me as a favorite, 2) send me a wink, 3) send me a message saying he would like to get to know me better.
Eeeh, starting to get a little intense.
I sign on later that day and boom boom boom IMs, "Hey beautiful" "how are you?" "how's your day, you have to let me take you out to dinner"
I respond, "Wow you're kind of intense" then sign off.
Two days later he starts IMing me "You're rude, you're ignoring me, what a b*&ch, you know you look cute in your one picture but you look old in the rest, are you 60?"
Let it be noted this guy looks like a black Uncle Fester.
And he continues to insult me, which I really don't care because, again, Uncle Fester.
So I respond "listen, I'm not into you, definitely not now that you're insulting me to ease your bruised ego please never talk to me again"
He starts sending more insults until I successfully block him.
Good Luck to the girl who gets suckered into dating him.

Still, the good outweigh the bad...so I keep on truckin'
