An Open Letter to the Men of Online Dating

Thanks to another migraine this month, I currently lack the energy for writing a new post. Luckily, I had a guest post in my back pocket.  This was originally written as a two-part rant on facebook.  When I saw it, I immediately messaged this outgoing gal to ask her if I could combine her rants into a full guest post for my blog.  She was happy to oblige, and I’m very grateful.  You see, my request could have been super awkward given that the following post about the disaster of online dating comes from my former sister-in-law.  Some marriages just don’t work out, and that’s no reason for us to stop enjoying one another’s brilliant wit and humor.  Maybe some worthwhile individual will enjoy her humor here and seek a connection; she sure as hell hasn’t had much luck so far.  So, without further ado, I now present an open letter to the men of online dating:

 

As a newly single woman, I have been encouraged to try online dating, or what I am now kindly referring to as "selling yourself to the lonely guy with a bad case of swamp ass.” I mean, seriously! Is there anybody comparatively normal out there?  If I have any hope of finding a possible relationship through this service, I need to make a few things clear.  It’s time to listen up guys; I’m talking to you.

Dear 58 year old Geriatric,

NO! Just NO! Don't you have some Depends to change? For the love, I’m 26 years old!

Dear Gamer,

Get your ass off the damn couch. Kindly clean the potato chip sludge off your Minecraft t-shirt and find some non-virtual friends.

Dear Felon,

I’m all about “seeing the light” too; I just don’t want it to be your taillights after you steal all my shit.

Dear Guy who has a webcam followed by a winky face emoticon, 

You're not fooling anyone. Have fun with that carpal tunnel.

Dear 20 year old who's "ready to settle down,”

Dear Guy whose introductory tag line reads, “I like to wear cargo pants and shirts with funny sayings,”

Yeah, so does every other virgin.  Next. 

Dear Guy who is holding knives in his profile picture,

That image doesn’t scream “cool” like you had hoped.  It screams “serial killer.”

Dear Former SPED Student,

I’m going to let you down easy.  I know I said I’m a Special Education teacher in my profile, but after five, I wanna be off the clock.

Dear Guy that wishes I lived closer to Milwaukee because you don’t have a car because you “don’t see the need for buying one,”

I’m not buying your story.  TLC said it best, broke son. I don’t want no scrubs.

Dear Guy who doesn’t use a lick of punctuation,

Your letters of professed love are going to piss me off. It will never work.

Is that really intended as a term of endearment? It just makes me want a cheeseburger. Stat.
