Oh man. Dating ads irritate me beyond belief. Or maybe it’s that I’m already irritated due to ‘certain’ circumstances.
I’ve been looking through ads for the last 5 or so hours (for school) and I swear these people are so lucky I can’t reach through the internet and shake them. I think I might scream the next time I see someone who is ‘real’ or looking for someone who is ‘real’. We’re all real people! Unless you’re saying you’d like to try dating someone besides your imaginary friend. I know what they’re trying to say, but honestly everyone I’ve ever known who described themselves as ‘real’ was either a colossal idiot and/or one of the biggest game-playing and least genuine people I have ever known.
I also keep getting really irked when I see ads with horrendous grammar and spelling… that are then insisting they need someone who is ‘intllgnt’ or ‘edumakated’ because the poster ‘has’ an American post-graduate education. I would be forgiving if these people were clearly making mistakes because they aren’t fluent in English (I realize people can receive post-graduate education in non-English speaking countries). However if you honestly received a doctorate from an American school, I’m inclined to think you would probably have enough of a grasp on ‘things’ in general to understand how to use spell-check.
And what’s with all the people who have young children themselves but aren’t okay with a potential partner having children… even if those children are grown? Unrealized hypocrisy drives me nuts! Or the women who are okay with a man having young children… as long as they don’t live with him… Not that it’s always the case, but that seems to me like they are LOOKING for dead-beat dads just to ensure more attention for themselves. Though… I’m sure that probably doesn’t work out very well…
And the 25+ year old ‘girls’ who are still looking for ‘[their] perfect prince charming to come sweep [them] off [their] feet, carry [them] away, and take care of [them] sweetly and romantically ever after. He’ll be so perfect himself he’ll love all [their] faults without a moments distress ’? I want to force them to live in a sewer for a month, we’ll see how irrationally uppity and demanding they are after I let them back out…
