Online Dating Undercover: Part 10

"Laziness"

I figured something out; I’ve been perplexed by the fact that so many of these dudes write next to nothing on their profiles. The site gives you 3 little questions that are meant to prompt you into writing something about yourself:

1) A Little About Me
2) How I Feel About The Church
3) What I Do For Fun

But instead of answering these short questions, most of these guys just put, “Send me a message and I’ll tell you”…as if that’s supposed to inspire me to want to delve into the deepest, most poignant parts of their soul. What on earth is my incentive to send you a message? Who do you think you are? Really. And then lots of them don’t post a picture. So what I figured out was this, and it should’ve occurred to me sooner—those are the dudes who just want to browse. You have to create a profile in order to view all the chics on the site, so they just do the bare minimum in the sign-up process.

Sneaky. Anyway…I don’t like it when these lazy guys send me messages or keep looking at me. You can see how many times a certain person looks at you. A little weird. And it’s also a pain, because what if there’s a hottie, whose pictures I want to keep looking at?! I don’t want him knowing that I look at his profile every other day. Because, after all, I am supposed to be aloof and uninterested.

Something else: It makes me a little leery when guys who don’t have a picture or any information keep looking at my profile. They might as well just put the screen name “Creep”, because I’m afraid that’s all I perceive them as. Anyway, I’m online right now and can see that some of the creeps who are always looking at me are currently logged into the site. Shudder. When one of them tries to contact me, I log off immediately. Typically, I only log on to my profile long enough to see how many people have viewed me or to read any messages, and then I’m outta there! I don’t want to risk giving some guy the opportunity to open up a chat window with me.

AHH! Speaking of which…somebody’s trying to open a chat window. Queue the Jaws theme song. Oh man. Who is it? Should I open it? Eek! I’m looking at the guys that are online right now and who have viewed me lately, and if it’s one of them…not interested. Hmm...what to do?
