8 Phrases to show your online dating partner is a mess!

01-08-2011

 Below are some online profile phrases that let a girl know he’s a mess.

1. “I’m looking for fun!” This guy is NOT looking for a serious relationship. He just told you so. He’s not lying. He most likely rents party buses and lives on the couch of his old frat house. If fun and just fun is also what you’re looking for, message him. If not, click on through, sister.
2. “My life is under construction. Bring your hard hat.” One fine gentleman actually phrased it like this. This man is floundering. He is lost at sea in his life. He doesn’t know who the hell he is or what the hell is looking for in a woman. Forget it.
3. “I hate most people. Good god. Why is he advertising this? Well, the good news is, you know he’s a total misanthrope and you don’t have to spend a long, miserable first date with him.
4. “I spend my spare time obsessing about my hairline.” This phrase, coupled with 17 pictures of him in a beanie, tips us off to the fact that he hasn’t accepted his baldness. Being bald is hot, but only if the guy is at peace with it. Fifty bucks says there’s other major things he’s not at peace with.
5. “Don’t message me if you haven’t read [insert snooty literary cannon here].”You self-righteous intellectual snob. I have read Nietzsche, you ass. But if that’s a requirement to meet me for a cup of coffee, you are the stupid one, my friend.
6. “I am looking for someone to make me forget about my ex girlfriend.” What did you say? I can’t hear you. Your baggage is in the way. Next.
7. “I’m working on my fourth MA.” This guy has been a student for 29 years!? I’m all for higher education, but he just doesn’t want to get a job.
8. “I’m not into romance.” Cool. Thanks for letting me know. I absolutely can’t WAIT to go on a date with you.

Online dating sites are certainly not for everyone. Like everything else, it has its obstacles. Perhaps its biggest one is the fact that it is hard to gain chemistry with someone over the internet. When you are on online dating sites there is obviously no physical contact and it can be a bit difficult to flirt, for example. There is a lack of connection because of this.

Some people understandably desire eye contact and a more personal way of dating. Even when flirting does occur, it can easily be misunderstood. People may get the wrong idea which is another minor downfall. You have to be really careful what you say and how you type it. Lastly, perhaps the biggest complaint of online dating is issues with grammar.
