You looked better online.



I should buy this t-shirt and wear it underneath my clothes on every date with guys I meet online. Just in case.

    Just read your whole blog! Really enjoyed it- very much goes with my online dating experience what with stupid profiles and bad picture choices. It's not an easy playing field. Look forward to reading more!

    Oh, I love that shirt! I totally want to wear it the next time I end up on a date with a guy who looks about ten years older than he did in his pictures.

    Thanks, newyork! Yeah, so far this blog is one of the only productive things to come out of my online dating experience.

    Neurotic, I saw that shirt on Zazzle, and I had to link to it. I wouldn't have the guts to actually wear it on a date, but I like to pretend.

Why Clumsy Cat Owners Shouldn't Buy 17.6-Pound Bags of Food

Image
Captain's log. 1:30 a.m. Goofy (the cat with the bladder crystals) is running low on food. Good thing I ordered more online. The special kind for urinary health that costs $60. Hmm, 17.6 pounds of food is heavier than I thought. I'll pour some into a smaller container so it will be easier to manage on a daily basis. What do I do with the rest of the bag? If I leave it on the floor, Jack (the cat with the seizures and demonic food lust) will rip it open and eat until he can't feel feelings anymore. Okay, there's a small space on a shelf in the entryway closet. The bag is too tall, but I'll zip it closed and see if I can shove it in sideways. Shit, it's stuck on something else on the shelf. While holding the 17-pound bag with one hand, I'll haphazardly shove the other thing out of the way. Wouldn't want to start over. "Guess that bag wasn't as zipped as I thought," I thought as a half a pound of the expensive special food rains do...

Top 5 Dumb Things on Guys' Online Dating Profiles

Image
You would think that if you've taken the time, and maybe the money, to do online dating, you would actually want to find some measure of success. Based on some of the things I've seen on guys' profiles on Match, this is in fact not the case. So here is a list of the top 5 stupid things that I have seen guys write. All excerpts are real, unmodified (for the most part) passages from male profiles on Match.com. 5. Sarcastic "fake" profiles This is when guys apparently think it is funny to create a completely fake (at least I hope, dear Lord I hope) profile. Either they are doing it to show their equally mature male friends with no intention of getting a response, or they hope some girl will find it funny. Exhibit 5:    I will pay you if you date me! I am clingy, jealous, and have terrible hygiene. I hate activities. Also, I cry a lot...especially at barbecues (i don't know why). Interesting fact: I love exotic foods. When I was 12 I ate my little sis...

I joined OkCupid, and I already love it

Image
More to come on my newest online dating venture at OkCupid, but I had to share this. OkCupid stays free because it has advertising galore. Which I'm okay with. I'll put up with some ads in order to join the site for free. In fact, when there are ads like the following, I even enjoy it! Find a date, but don't give them chlamydia! Order a free test online now. It's nice that their ads are so targeted.
