Okay, so. I've been on online dating websites for a few years now. It's the kind of thing you do when you're young and eager and curious, right?
Maybe that was the case for me; some of the messages I received, however, were from people that were on these sites for completely different reasons. So I collected some of the shining jewels of the inbox and posted them here, complete with witty and sarcastic commentary, for your enjoyment.
First off, how not to do it...
The Enthusiastic Sex Machine!
"Let me rock your world ! you said you love amazing sex i can give you more! i love girls like you not too skinny , skinny girls and sex dont mix ! anyway im here holla at me if you want to take this to another stage ! trust me id be more then happy !"
Let's take this apart, starting with the positives. (Yes, there are positives.)
He gets +2 points for reading my profile, and +2 points for a somewhat original starting line. Another +2 points for an upbeat, positive attitude and +1 point for attempted compliment.
Apparently he doesn't know anything about capitalisation or punctuation so he receives -2 points. Another -2 for the huge ego.... 'I can give you more!'. Really? Did you think I was lacking in it? Because believe me, I'm not.
-1 point for use of the word 'holla'. I'm not a 'gangsta' and you shouldn't be either.
An epic -4 points for the compliment-gone-wrong.-1 point for bagging on skinny girls; all girls are beautiful in their own way and I'm quite certain that skinny girls and sex can happen, regardless of his personal preferences.
So, overall, a disappointing -3.
Next up is The Screensaver.
You know; adapts himself to fit every user, is nice to look at but needs some settings changed so that he can be a better screensaver?
First message: "hey, what if your a guy interested in bi girls and erotic hypnosis... ? just saying I'm exploring you know :)"
An hour later: "Hey you seem like a really interesting chick who would be down for some fun and good conversation, would you be keen on maybe watching the inbetweeners ? just thought you'd be into that movie I love the series... anyway you seem real cool and I'd love to learn some stuff from ya X) hope to hear back from you sooon ! :)"
Okay, so to be fair to this guy, he seems nice. Genuine, even.
Still, my knee-jerk response to the first message is 'Yeah, what if?! Fancy that happening...'
Still, +2 points for making an effort to find something I'd be into. +2 for the compliment- I find being told I'm interesting to be quite flattering. +1 for the overall positivity of both messages. +2 points for being open minded and willing to explore.
As to negatives, -2 for capitalisation and punctuation. Also, why has he put spaces between the end of his sentences and the punctuation?!
-1 for the phrase 'chick who would be down for some fun'. That just screams of 'I think you're an easy lay.'
-1 for using the words 'real cool'. I mean, I am, but really.
-1 for the assumption that I'd love to teach him 'stuff'.
Screensaver comes out with a +2. Seems he's ahead of the pack.
Well, there's always the kinky folk! Here's Mr TMI.
"im (insert name here) and ive been readying your prof ...i realy like you and i just wana say i wana be your little toy boi ..make me your little secert i want you to slap me tie me up pee on me and abuse me all you want i just want to be used out doors in the pool any where you want..... what you say about fun now????for you ill do anything from licking your toes to's liking anything of the floor or cleaning up after you hun i will be at your every dirty lil wimp"
Yes! Please! It's what I've always dreamt of... Having an illiterate, desperate male to pee on. Heaven.
Yes, that was sarcasm and I'm not even going to bother grading this one. I can't count quite that far back in negatives.
And, finally, one of the best messages I think I've received yet:
"i'm just curious about your thing...
care to chat???"
I'm curious about my 'thing' too- I didn't think I had one!
Awkward Dinosaur thinks she will just stick to watching porn and meeting geeks at Sci Fi Cons.
