One of the most annoying parts of online dating is the fact that there are a ton of profles that treat the textboxes as though their ordering pizza (mataphorically). Like they’ll use the first box to say that you must like cats, the second to say that you should have a moustache and the third to say you need to be adventurous, as if the point is to type in your ideal mate and have them materialize at a local park for you to meet.
That is actually crazy to me. I’m a pretty simple guy. I have no baggage at all, no children, not in debt, i have my life under control. I’m even pretty good looking. But i would feel pretty weird to have high demands just right out of the gate.
Yet i see profiles like: must be this tall, iphone owner, no 50/50, gentleman, old school and so on, must like children because i have 5. And sorry to be shallow, but these are often the most mediocre looking people.
I saw a profile yesterday of a girl being actively pregnant RIGHT NOW. And her demands were off the charts. The last woman i talked to hat EIGHT CHILDREN. and she didn’t like that i don’t eat meat.

And they never say what they have to offer, only what their partner must be.

IPhone owner is a hilarious one to me.
And yeah, I don’t particularly feel like chasing someone, especially someone who thinks liking pineapple on pizza is a personality trait.
