Online dating websites are SCARY, DEPRESSING, and CRAZY

So, my crazy wife that I have mentioned in previous posts is now my crazy ex-wife. Yeah... it was actually her idea to get divorced. But she made it easy for me to agree, because she was cheating on me.

So, I've been looking at some of those online dating sites..... HOOOLLLEEEEE crap they are a strange phenomenon. Luckily, after my 10 year training in the mental workings of insane women, I can spot the bad eggs right off the bat.

Here are some of the giveaways:

  • "Pucker-up" face in their profile picture. That screams "I AM EMBARASSED BUT DESPERATE!"
  • User names that contain words like "princess, cutie, 4u, sweetie, hotmama, sexxygal", etc. Methinks thou dost protest too much!
  • "Glamour shots" profile pictures. Word of advice: these pics are only going to catch the attention of dumbasses!
  • Some websites show the age range people are looking for... Anyone who puts in "18 to 60". Um.. yeah, I'm going to stay away from that one.
There are many more subtle giveaways but that's a good place to start.

Online dating site wish list:

  • A more efficient way to delete people from future searches. Such as, a check box, or a "select all on this page" feature.
These sites are only semi useful after spending hours weeding out all the warning sign profiles.

Be safe out there!
