Online Dating Fails: Another dissatisfied customer

Posted by Princess MoMo on Jul 22 in Epic fails, Men, Online dating

Mr. Dissatisfied: 

Do you really think somebody will put up with this attitude.. Jebus.. pissed me off and i only read thru first few lines of your profile. They want a little about yourself not an essay :)

MoMo:

When I go to the store and see an item on the shelf/rack that I do not like, I do not run to the customer service desk and express my disinterest/dissatisfaction with the item. Nor do I call the manufacturer/designer of the product and lodge a complaint there. I would imagine that the behavior I just described is common practice. 

Similarly, should I have the occasion to stumble upon an online dating profile that I dislike, I immediately navigate away from the page without contacting the profile creator. Why you felt compelled to notify me of your opinion is beyond me. But thanks for the smiley face at the end of your message. It will provide me with the will to survive another day.

Mr. Dissatisfied: 

Not that I expected a less aggressive reponse but atleast you liked something in my message.Now lets talk about the close to perfect analogy you drew. 

In the same store you will find products with notes stating “for questions, suggestion and inquires call at XYZ”. Similarly in your profile the words and I quote “inquire within” compelled me to reach the owner of product and let them know about my concerns. What would I gain out of it? probably nothing but atleast I did my part by giving an honest feed back.

Another thing that I strongly believe in is if I see some act which is not right (again its a grey area. I could be mistaken in perceiving something wrong) my sense of social resposibility urges me to stop it by force, if not then by mouth, if not then atleast condemn it in my heart and last being the weakest type of my believes and faith.

On the other hand I appreciate the fact that you took your time and wrote a detailed and interesting profile which I hopefully be done reading one day (:

MoMo:

When taken out of context, words often lose their intended meaning. Your quote of my “inquire within” line suffered that fate. The directive in my profile reads, “In closing, if my profile has turned you off, then Me, Inc. isn’t for you. If you’ve enjoyed it and perhaps even found it humorous, inquire within.” Nowhere in those sentences, or elsewhere in my profile, did I insinuate that “concerns” were welcomed. And since you evidently neither enjoyed nor found humorous my profile, the “inquire within” didn’t apply to you. So basically, you’re like an uninvited guest at a party. 

As far as your social responsibility comment, to be blunt, that’s some self-righteous b*llshit. However, despite my profile’s failure to pass your moral muster, I will not be altering it. My (in)sincere apologies for offending your sensibilities. Please forgive me oh wise gatekeeper of online dating profiles.

Mr. Dissatisfied:

Well I didn’t understand half of what you just said. Sorry, Im not a native. But let me close the argument by stating that if you ever find a sincere person with this profile let me know and I’ll mail you a check for …lets think….equal to the number of lines in your profile multiplied by a dollar. And you know it will be sustantial amount.

Atleast I learned few new words of English. Just to clarify b*llsh*tis not one of them. I knew that already :)

Kind Regards,

    I think this is a strategy some men use to grab the attention of a female specimen: it is intended to make the male stand out from the overwhelming crowd of un-original flattery such as “you’re so beautiful/gorgeous/diva/etc. lets talk.”

  2. I’ve been theorizing as to why these specimens send messages of this nature. Anticipate release of said theories by Tuesday.

  3. Not only did he sound like a spell check user (which failed miserably), but he didn’t even read the profile correctly. On top of that, he threw himself under the bus by mentioning his English wasn’t all that great. Idiocracy at its usual best. Lol
