It's been awhile but I have to share this one from a profile of a manly man, kind of sort of OBVIOUSLY written by a catfisher. What clues are in here do you think? I particularly enjoy the run on sentence about the dancing...and who doesn't want the who enchalata!!

********************************************

I am looking for a woman who can laugh, be playful and light hearted, one who is motivated and ambitious, intelligent, and self confident. I enjoy meaningful conversation in addition to plain old good fun. I'm basically a very positive person who also loves humor and laughter and would like someone with an adventurous spirit who can see the funny side of life,someone who is open and willing to learn new things. I like to share things I learn and am open to learning new things as well. I have a passion for music and a curiosity for life. To find aman who loves to dance would be a miracle, but not impossible I believe, even if rare, but definitely a bonus, but not a requirement! lol I also love a man who knows how to treat a womanlike a baby and a baby like a woman. Romance and passion are important as well. Like everyone I talk to I want the who enchalata, including chemistry. I have learned though that chemistry is not everything and not the only
component for building a strong relationship. A picture is worth a thousand words yet can still tell you nothing. Lastly beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I would say I have more on the inside than the outside. LOL No one is perfect including myself but I suppose if you don't put it out there and risk, you'll never know.However I am realistic and I am by far not perfect.

That is one confused ...... human?

Did they post a 1000 words? Or just a picture.

Three pictures and this babble gabble.

FF, I love your posts about online dating! I've never tried it and never will.

Yeah. That line. Ew.

This is why I don't think I'll ever be able to date online.

I have several friends who have been on it, and the creeps that are out there totally freak me out.

Slight t/j but still relevant to on line dating:
Search the "creepy asterisks" reddit page. It's so insane! It's the creepy roleplay trend where (mostly) guys DM girls and they put asterisks around their "actions" that they are role playing. 99% of the time it's completely un-asked for. Fair warning, it can get really explicit. They go from 0 to 100.

Wait...what??? "He" started out looking for a woman, then switched to "looking for a man". WTH?

It sounds so trite, it almost seems like "he" cut and paste from several different sources, and that's how the whole man vs. woman thing got mixed up. Bizarre!

FaithFool posted 7/21/2019 17:06 PM

Clearly English is not the first language here and yes that's probably exactly what's going on.

demolishedinside posted 7/21/2019 17:17 PM

Yeah, HeHadADoubleLife, I think that’s why I grieve so much. After all I saw and learned after Dday, there’s no way. I’m bound to end up single.

HeHadADoubleLife posted 7/21/2019 17:43 PM

demolished, I hear you. I always thought I was so lucky that XH and I had met randomly in our apartment building, so I wouldn't have to deal with online dating.

It was right before online dating became super popular. Match and eHarmony existed, but Tinder and all those apps were just coming up. I saw so many friends going through that, and it just always felt so superficial to me.

I hate the idea that it's basically like window shopping

You never know! My brother dated a perfectly nice girl for a couple of years that he met on Tinder. They split over whether or not to have kids.

Also, one of my oldest friend's met her fiancé on OkCupid a few years ago and they're gettinf married soon.

demolishedinside posted 7/21/2019 20:22 PM

Well, ibonnie, I hope she didn't have a profile like this.

I know so little about Online Dating - wait I can ask my WH!!! He knows it pretty well.

A girlfriend is on Plenty of Fish, she gave me her phone at a wedding - Had a few drinks. I waved at least 30 men on her behalf.

I wonder if she is still talking to me... I am not sure how strong my "filter" was. OOPS.

OLD is so much fun

You got to admire that person's cut & paste skills.

HeHadADoubleLife posted 7/22/2019 08:20 AM

Honestly, I would be scared that since XH and I still live in the same general area, we would accidentally match up.

Hell, I know he moved the OW in now, but that obviously didn't stop him when we were married so I certainly wouldn't put it past him now that he's with her.

Now THAT would be an OLD funny - one of us SI'ers in New Beginnings "running into" our ex on Tinder, Bumble etc.

How do you treat a baby like a women?? Gross

I read so many terrible online profiles. The best were the ones that only said "if you want to know something, just ask." OK, thanks dude.

One time I read a profile that was clearly written by a classic narcissistic. According to him, he was looking for a women who was beautiful and thin. He had already been screwed out of 3 divorces and they just took him for his money so now he wanted someone with lots of money so they could travel together in a few years. The fact that he claimed his wives only wanted him for his money, then he talked about all the money he had, really showed something.

That actually happened to me! I was like, WTF Match!?? I checked out his profile and called him up. I advised him that if he wanted a shot at an even half-way decent woman that he could not start his age range at 18. He was over 40 and that's just creepy. He appreciated my advice

Ha ha ha, that's one of the things that's going to be a red flag for me if I do OLD in the future.
