Things you can't say in a dating profile, Part 3
PS – To all the guys who say they’re looking for a “smart and classy” woman, I’ve got a few suggestions on how to attract her if isn’t working out for you. First, you might want to utilize spellcheck when writing your profile. Second, you might want to compose the profile from an actual computer rather than typing it out on a smartphone. Third, uh, the hair gel and pics of you bonging beer? Yeah, you might want to lose those. Fourth, and do as you will. I mean, far be it from me to claim to be an expert on these things, but you might want to send emails to women outside the hours of 1-4 am on weekdays. Oh, and we prefer "sophisticated" to "classy."

Keep these up -- love them!!!
Great posts!!
LOL. right on.
this is officially the best part of my google-reader-filled day.
True story. I once went on a date with a guy who said this... He drove a dodge ram with a sticker that said "Dodge the Father, Ram the Daughter" ... and I wonder why he couldn't find a nice girl?
I love these! Have you actually put them as part of your profile?
That was a good one, i like reading profile before i add or befriend people in the online community im in.

You should spell check and re-read your own posts before giving advice to others.
wth?
I've been on Match and off of Match within the past 14 days. So, so, so many bad emails, etc. and then one *really* lousy date. Not only do you need to post what you'd like to say in your profile, but let's not even discuss what the men shouldn't be putting in theirs... like the guy who works at the Waste Water Treatment Plant for the NYC DEP and plays the bagpipes in his spare time. I mean, not to be a snobby bitch or anything, but did he really think that I would go out with him? I'm an Ivy League educated lawyer for christ's sakes. The man was bald, too boot. If you work the nightshift at a water treatment plant and you dare ask someone for drinks you better look like fucking Tom Selleck or something! Geesh. (Sorry, I needed to vent).
I've read some of your recent post, and I think you should check mine out on dating and relations. www.tbvicariousworld.blogspot.com
I'm sure you'll have something to say that I'd like to read.
@Rue. Your a law grad, okay, big deal. It's clear you do not just date based on profession. How do I know? Well, your surrounded by lawyers all day, and your on match.com.
What if that guy didn't reveal all those traits and you fell for him? Your VENT actually reveals why a lot of relationship don't work today. Too many people date based on high standards/popularity contests, and not for the like/interest in the person. But its okay I'm sure whatever your doing is working for you, your still single.
P.S. I bank over hundred thousand dollars a year as a dietian, and I wouldn't give the time of day. Oh, just felt like venting.
Ick, Rue is a snob and a half. A bag pipe player sounds a lot more interesting for a date than a lawyer. Rue get a life.
@rue - "not to be a snobby bitch or anything" - if the shoe fits...
good... interesting
great post :)
Why have you been MIA? I miss your blog so much!
I miss your blog so much! Please keep writing!!
@NYCRobert:
Thanks for your comment. A few things to note: A) I was married to a lawyer for 9 years (so I guess you could say, I did date by profession, back in the day), B) I'm on Match because I've relocated, wanted to meet new people and let'sface it: it's easy, C) my best dates have been with people I've met by chance, who are college educated or have graduate degrees and work in Finance.
For now, I'm happy to be single, because I'd rather be single than be 'together' with an asshole. That's what being divorced will do. I'll keep looking for my right 'match' and he clearly won't be someone who has issues with me having standards.
