status report

the emails on match have been a flowing...
here are my favorites to date (i cut and paste from match, so all spelling errors could be accounted for):

the funniest profile I've read on here. Allow me to introduce myself...
(he never even signed his name)

hello, how are you doing?
(he has the longest hair i've ever seen on a man...in my life...)

HOw are you? HOws your week goin? Just wanted to say hey and see how things are goin. HAvent heard back from you so i dont know if you were interested. I would still like to get to know you better. I'm unable to put my email on here but my AIM is xdanfmousx if you would like to contact me there.
(IM me, what are we...16?)

I will really introduce myself this time...my name is Bert. I figured you would you reply with a smart remark
(please see email #1...he finally introduced himself...sorry, bert...i'm not going to introduce myself)

I can send a pic to you, and I liked your profile. How is your weekend going? How long has your profile been posted and have you had any luck with this site?Hope to hear from you!
(no i've had no luck, and i don't want to talk about it...and put a picture up if you want me to write back...dang...i don't do the "i'll send you my pic" thing)

Ok listen are you still single? lol, I'm sure you are not, you seem to sweet and that smile. I would actually fly into town for 1 date with you. Is that crazy or what? Can't even believe I'm saying it but you only live once and you gotta go for it while you got it? Wait,.. "gotta go for it while its good". Wait,.. well you understand. I hope. lol. My name is Sean, its very nice to meet you. I have family and friends in New York so always a place to stay when I visit. However, I think I wanna know you. Is that to forward? Yea, it probably is, ok better said, I'd love to chat and see what's what. You won't last on this site too long because you seem to have a ton to offer and hopefully are as sweet as you sound and look?
(he's 18, from chicago...get a grip, this is not Love on AOL...and it's not 1996, when people did long distance interweb dating...)

how are you? That's a very funny story about getting pooped on my pigeons! Ever get crapped on while sitting inside of a moving car? I did.
( i think he wants me to crap on him...and he had no picture...ick!)

Bueno mascafeconleche...HolaQue tipo de musica sueles cantar en espaƱol? que tan mal cantas? ;) :P
(i did put that i speak spanish...not well, but i do...that little fact might have been slightly misleading on my part...however, i do understand him...but he looks like an island pimp, so i will not write back)

LOL youre an energetic one...
(contractions, contractions!!! and eff this lol bullshit...this is online dating, sure...but no emoticons or queer acronyms, please!)

salute..............how u doin......
(i'm italian, you're a thug...do not salute me)

Great profile!Would you like to chat per cellphone, as I am sure you will agree how impersonal the internet is?Regards,Peter.
(he's hot and he lives in Beverly Hills...highly dubious he even exists...if i was desperate, i would phone in for love...but i'm not...besides, there ain't no booty like local booty)

and...the winner is...

i saw you profile. here's mine. contact me. bye
(help me, baby jesus...)

$74.75

for a bargain price, i joined match.com
i'm now double teaming web sites.
i no longer accept myspace dates, and - while i still rock the nerve - i only check it intermittently...
i'm working both - taking emails, scanning for dates and hot ass...

but, i'm healing
i wish it was sexual healing...
but it's my very own e-wounds i'm mending.
i'm reading profiles a little more closely, checking pictures for suspect moles and eyes that seem a little too close together...
i'm an interet dating super sleuth...

match seems different, in a category all it's own - so to speak.
the men are seemingly kinder and 'looking for love.' so they say. they tend to photograph in wife beaters or shirtless...
you have your sprinkling of hipsters - in your larger pool of financial douchebags and joey bags of donuts.

i mean, sure, it's probably all still bullshit - of the highest order - but it feels better than nerve.

nerve is sex.
crutcha likes her sex, but at what expense?
sure, i've met hot men with tattoos above their nipple - all inked up and ready to go - but i'm over it...

feels better than nerve...i say...
although, i was vibing on this cat...and we were supposed to go out last thursday night...but
he never called...
can't say i've ever e-grinded on nerve - without a follow through...
strange for match, no? with all of these men that want to meet their special someone. (log on, read the headlines, the testimonials, the endorsements).
i believe duders headline was 'let's make eachother happy, shall we.' cute, so i thought.

how anxious are men online, anyway?

instead, i did something special for myself on thursday night...

i put on my robe...
i crawled into bed...
i brought with me a bottle of wine and some delightful goldfish crackers...
when my roommate walked in to our apartment, she found me laughing and leaving endearing drunk messages for my lady friends.
it was one of the best evenings i've had in a while.

so, i thank the douche that never called me from match.

thank you, douche.

*disclaimer*
unlesss by some chance, said douche lost a loved one and could not place the phone call to explain - then i apologize. i would hate to appear selfish or insensitive.

*however*
he has been online at all the same times as me - since last thursday - it's scary how you can track things, no? i love it. so, i doubt he's at a wake or sitting shiva.
