Dating in the 21st Century

Sorry, no Sloan stories.  Told a few of those to co-workers at lunch on Friday, but we had to whisper some parts of the story for fear other diners could hear us.  If I don't want diners to hear those stories, I surely can't repeat them in blogs!  Some things just cannot be put into writing!


So we are back to my secondary topic these days -- dating.  I feel it is my duty to educate those who are married or in committed relationships or who are nuns what it's like to date in the 21st century.  It is like a comedy and horror all rolled into one.  Kind of like the Scary Movie series.

I'm actually beginning to think that hanging out at bars may not be a bad idea, because online dating is truly a Scary Movie.  Let's begin with some visuals (these are REAL; I don't know enough about photoshop to even change them):



I'm thinking maybe the Greenville Detention Center has allowed inmates to use the internet.  And even more scary, here are some of MY matches!

These couldn't be my Matches!  I'm pretty sure they're family members.  Like distant cousins from TN!  I'll bet they have long 2nd and 3rd toes too!

Then there is this guy.  He goes by the name of "Horny:"

Seriously?  Uggggggggg.

And here is one who is in that same grouping:

Put some clothes on, man!  Nobody wants to see those bare, hairy shoulders!  That is just GROSS.  I'm amazed at all of the men who think this is a "sexy" look....

Then there are these -- two separate profiles.  I'm not the best at selfies or even taking pictures of others, but at LEAST I get most of them in the shot.  This is like going on an interview with just half of your resume!

I seriously fell for this guy, but I'm kinda thinking he's looking at me as sugar mama, so had to bypass this one.

You'll NEVER guess what this guy's profile name is!  Off Grid Guy.  Nah, I could totally see him hanging out at the Poinsett Club having martinis!  I'm sure they'd loan him a jacket!

 

And another you have to see to believe.  This guy is Bubba.  And it wouldn't surprise me if that's on his birth certificate.  Angie and Bubba.  Only I'd have to call him Bubber.  It just flows better.

My last image for the night.  I don't even remember his/her name.  Bruce?  Caitlyn? 

And speaking of names, how intriguing are some of these profiles?

Taterman101

Spud3394  (what's up with the potato references??)

Needglasses (my own eyes hurt after looking at these pictures!)

Bigitchy (don't even want to think about this one)

Wecangetitdone (what is "it?")

Fabulousjokka (HAHA)

Fartsalot (Wait, Sloan is not old enough to create a profile)

Justaguy (unless you are in that blue dress and red hat above)

Iscupiddead (sadly, I think so)

Soooo there is your lesson for this week on dating in the 21st Century.  Names and/or photos were NOT changed to protect the "innocents" or even the spuds.....
