By way of example, here are a few messages I've received from guys on okcupid. Gee, which one do I pick...
1) hey 35 single white male in durham n.c. and im looking for a longterm honest and faithful relationship i havent been in a relationship or have had any sex for almost 2 years because of haven my heart broken i meet a women on date hook up.com 2 years ago after being together for a month she asked me to merry her and i said yes 2 days later we was married the next day i caught her cheating on me i got the marrige annulled and been single ever sense that was in 2009 and i have the anullment papers to prove im not maken that up.
2) Does it make me racist that I think there should be a National Association for the Advancement of White People or a Caucasian College Fund? Am I homophobic or intolerant just because I'd like to march in a Hetero-Pride Parade? Is population control really such a bad idea?
3) hey , how are you doing? my name is sroosh and i am living at the fort bragg could you please give me your cellphone and full add and if you dont mind i want to meet each others . thnx
4) I want to offer you something different. An actual gentleman. I know you are not use to this. I can even give you straight up examples of how I am different. This is of course if you actually want a change. Try me.
I'm partial to number 2. A potentially racist, homophobic nazi. Be still my heart...
I think my friend put it best: “If only we could all meet such awesome, emotionally in-touch guys”
