Adventures in Online Dating 3

Current mood:sassy

Couldn’t resist adding a few more.  Okay, so I never realized how entertaining this would actually be, but I think I found a new hobby.  Here are some new pictures... I couldn't resist, they were so amazingly FANTASTIC.

GOTTA LOVE PROPS!




















I also wanted to post excerpts from some of my favorite profiles I have come across so far.  Pay special attention to the bolded areas:

"But truly, I would say I am looking for someone better than myself. I know I'm flawed... I'm not looking for perfection, far from it... just better than me.  So that perhaps some of the character that person has might rub off on me and by association I can become a better person. Somone who will understand that my first marriage was a matter of convieniance and monitary gain... quick tangent: I was leaving for basic training and my roommate/bestfriend asked if instead of trying to move all my stuff out of the house (that we were renting in Los Angeles), trying to find someone who could take care of my cat and then both of us having to move due to my leaving... we go to Vegas and get a quicky marriage so I could get an extra $2000/month and then she would stay where we were. When I got back her grandfather loved me so much that he bribed us with a house to stay married. So we live in our house in Orange... free and clear. Since he past away last year... we no longer need to stay together. (WHAH! :O - This happened? And then you put in your profile?...  Really?)  I am about to deploy for 15 months to a lovely little hell-hole and I just thought I'd like to get to know someone for a future relationship rather than a friendship only situation with a good friend that we have nothing in common anymore. I want kids... she doesn't. I want to sell the house and move... travel, she wants to work 14 hours a day and stay in CA." (Say "hell-hole" one more time... I am sooo turned on.)

GOTTA LOVE LISTS!:

"I never thought I would attempt online dating, but I figured that anyone who is registered on this site is as serious about finding a long lasting relationship as I am.  To begin with, I don't drive a truck with a super-lift, I don't have a "bro" sticker on my back window, I am not covered in tattoos, I don't have a 3" goatee with a shaved head, and I don't own dirtbikes. Conversely, I don't drive a G35 or oversized SUV with a NOTW or Harvest Crusade sticker on the back window and I don't sell mortgage loans. I am just a normal guy with a great sense of humor who loves to make people laugh...if you don't get the humor in this paragraph, you have been tainted by Orange County."  (Haha, it's an either/or)

"As for my perfect match, let me start off by identifying the characteristics that I absolutely do not want:

1) Someone who talks to their ex boyfriends, or maintains ex boyfriends as friends. I don't talk to my ex and I expect the same from my match. ( What? I didn't know remaining peaceful was an offense)

2) Someone with "daddy" issues. If you don't have a good relationship with your father, how can you have one with any man? (Don't want to put anyone in a box or anything, even if your Dad WAS a killer-rapist)

3) A party girl. You are out of high school and in the real world as I am. I am looking for an adult, not someone with the mentality of a teenager. My experience has shown me that party girls are not serious about relationships. (What is this talk of partying? There will be no celebrations in MY relationship! There is no FUN in serious!) (Oh and by the way, in your list you forgot, "Someone who is"... or are party girls not even "someones?")

4) Someone who wants to wait five years before having children because they want to advance their career. If your career is more important to you than having a family, then your goals are different than mine. My career is not as important as my family, and it never will be. (I see your point there, dude.. things come as they do... but sometimes planning a secure career and having money for a home is important BECAUSE it's good for your family...  maybe?)

5) Someone who attends Saddleback Church. I believe in God, or at least a supreme being, but if you attend church, then pick a religion. Saddleback Church is not a religion, it is a cult!!! You cannot re-write the Bible and then call yourself a non-denominational church. If you have beliefs, then believe in them; don't sit on the fence hoping you have covered all of Christianity so you can get into heaven. (hahaha.. that makes Saddleback Church a cult?)

6) Someone who watches sports. I don't watch sports, nor do I follow them. (Cursed SPORTS!  I don't watch 'em either.. all those people cooperating in teams, people in the Olympics pushing the human limits, encouragements from fans, and patriotism... BAH HUMBUG! ) (Truly, I don't watch sports either, but at this point I don't want to agree with this douche bag =) )

If you do not fit into any of the six items above, than you just may be my perfect match. "  (SIGN ME UP! You sound like bunches of fun!)

LASTLY, I just want to say this next guy is NOT an idiot like the previous three... I think there must be a bit of a translation issue, it sounds like he possibly doesn't know the language well, but I wanted to include it 'cause it's still... well... funny:

"I slipped on the ice and now I am here. It happened December 28 in the year 2000 when I was working my way through a blizzard between the train station and my office in Stockholm, Sweden. As I was lying there in the air I made up my mind, I would move to California. In my childhood Bjorn Borg was the national tennis hero in Sweden and I started practicing to become a hero myself. It didn't happen but I still play. I also dreamt about building space craft and needed a fusion reactor. I could not understand why the scientists never succeeded to build one. Today I am one of those scientists. I have been very laid back and a dreamer before in my life. But I am also a fighter who likes a challenge and wants and will fight and fight and never ever give up for the right cause, for one that is doable and worthy. I have two sons. When we were younger we would sometimes wrestle. In this pile a funny sound would be squeezed out of the younger son.He then grew bigger than his older brother. I like almost anything from board games to extreme sports. I have been a marathon runner but I have the most fun when I am holding something and am chasing a ball to hit it with the something."
(I have no comments... just AWESOME!)

There are amazing things on the internet!
