Things I Wish I Could Say That I Actually Did Say: Mr. Unusual from Match.Com

09.13.2012 by J. Doe // 1 Comment

After I posted about Mr. Unusual’s astonishing* return to match.com, I was (actually) surprised to receive an email from one of my readers in response.

Calling Bullshit, she said, is reason enough to email him.

So I did: I forwarded my match.com email with his shiny new profile picture listed under my new matches, and added the comment:

Guess it didn’t work out with “the ex.” Best of luck.

He replied six minutes later:

Very close, but it did not.  I am still sad about it and probably should wait until January to start over. . .

He actually wrote that:  “…”

If you look closely, you can see the bullets I think I dodged.

No, I didn’t reply.

*Yes, that was sarcasm.

I just can’t think of a good reason why I should.

08.16.2012 by J. Doe // 2 Comments

I gave up on match.com. It takes hours to go through all the profiles to find people of interest. 80% of them don’t respond at all, and from what I can work out, the ones that do respond have some serious issues, starting with being unemployed.

This is not my cup of tea, nor my glass of wine.

I leave my profile up while my subscription runs out, but ignore the daily matches and the endless searching.

About two days before my subscription is set to expire, I receive, inevitably, an email – friendly, complimentary, and asking about my trip to Belize. I check him out. Not especially attractive, but he’s friendly and likes to travel.
