I wonder if he’d be honest with me. ---

The funniest thing is that they’re obviously taken in an office of some kind. After hours? Casual Friday? Well, and that somebody would wear those panties and not do something about all that ass hair. > [@spark240](#): > > I can understand most of the objections, but “thirty fucking years old”? > > Or do you just mean he should have read some other books by now? _Atlas Shrugged_ is something for college students to dig. (See also: _Catcher in the Rye_, for high school.) If you are 30 and still list _Atlas Shrugged_ as your favorite book, I definitely do not want to date you. Ever. I mean, not even as a group thing, because I know you’re going to annoy the living shit out of me. ETA - also, no age is a good age for that no-head-no-shirt profile pic, but 30 is DEFINITELY too old for that. ---

It’s a sad indictment of the fact of online dating that his is NOT the worst profile I’ve seen. ---

By the way, my profile just got visited by “idonthaveherpes”. I guess you should highlight your best attributes. ETA - Guin, if it is then Manties and I do have something in common - we live in Columbia and have family in Pittsburgh. 🙂 ---

I think this guy should try saying less about himself, maybe just scrawling his number at a subway station or something, if he could spell the number right. ---

Um, just wondering, but isn’t it kind of low to copy some poor unsuspecting guy’s attempt to find love for everyone to make fun of? And he’s disabled, even? Do we really need to do this? Does anybody but me feel kind of icky for even reading it? Just wondering. ---

If he was looking for love, maybe. But he’s just looking for casual sex so I don’t feel bad about it. Anyway, I think those profiles are public. Did I just get wooshed? ---

His profile is public. If he wants it to not be seen by people outside the dating site, he can set it to private. I’ve got no sympathy.
