Online Dating Fails: Did he mention he’s a scientist?

Posted by Princess MoMo on Jun 29 in Epic fails, Men, Online dating

Scientist:

I only take tests if I am getting paid, but since you have a nice smile I will work for half price. We are located some distance apart. After searching in my local area, you would think an ENTIRE CITY of Philadelphia, I would be able to find what I am looking for. however once I changed my search parameters to those who have obtained Graduate degrees and then check to see if they are currently working, then that search got very small. I clicked my matches at the top and by whatever algorithm POF uses, you showed up. My ideal partner is someone who can stimulate me intellectually, while being physically attractive. Though keep in mind I am not looking for someone who is serious and devoid of personality or a sense of humor. Working as a Scientist, ugh, well most scientists are un-dateable I use that term seriously since most spent so much time studying in school instead of socializing, well one skill obviously was left undeveloped. Check out my profile, and drop me a line, I have skype so we can communicate before meeting and see how things go, so neither of our time is wasted. Short of this site, I am about to just hire a professional match maker to start linking me up on those lunch dates with other people of the same relative socio-economic background, but saving that for a last resort, kind of takes the fun out of things. Not too mention the thought of blind dates never did it for me. If you had the attention span to make it this far then we should see where things go.

MoMo:

Matt –

I did have the attention span to read your message. I can prove it: There’s a grammatical error in the second to last sentence.

I feel your struggle in terms of finding a worthy potential match…let alone an actual match. However, proximity is a critical piece of the puzzle, don’t you think?

Also, do you have grey hair?

Scientist:

As I said I had to choose to not let distance be a factor due to the fact that what I look for in a person is very difficult to find. With my profession as a Scientist with multiple degrees I have the ability to go anywhere and find work. So in the end distance became less of a limitation, the main driving factor is finding someone who can keep my attention with good conversation, good looks fade with time. In the long run having a partner who can keep up with me will always be attractive and that never gets old.

Do I have grey hair?

No, I do not have grey hair. I have WHITE hair mixed with dark hair. Soon I am thinking in a year or two my hair may be completely white. Hit me at a young age might be due to the level of complexity in my work. Same thing happened to Anderson Cooper. His hair was dark, then it just started turning white, skipped grey entirely. Same thing is happening too me. I am just thankful that I am not losing my hair or have any type of balding or early balding.

From the message you sent too me, you sound skeptical about distance not being an issue for me. Honestly, if I found a German Engineer, or a scientist in Japan, or even a great attorney from the UK who I clicked with no ocean is too large that I would not be able to go there or find some way that we could be together. The only thing that ever ties me down are various projects when I work on them. At the moment I have employees here that keep me here for now, though after the summer, they will be properly trained and equipped to handle matters on their own.

MoMo:

Ok, you did it again. You used ‘too’ instead of ‘to.’ What’s that about? I realize you’re a scientist because you’ve mentioned it numerous times in the two messages you’ve sent me, but the too/to distinction isn’t that complex.

Would you dye your hair?

Scientist:

Would I dye my hair?

I have nothing against dying my hair. No worries there. Until it matters for some reason or someone it is not a concern of mine.

Time is money for people in my position. Finding the right person is an investment. Meaning I would rather spend time with the right person instead of wasting a vast amount of time with the wrong person or people. Until then I spend my time with friends and family.

Fire away with any other questions…

MoMo:

I’m even willing to dye it for you :)

Scientist:

Dye My hair?

Sure I have no problem with that, I can go back to not being taken seriously :P

So what keeps you busy in the day and if you want to interrogate me further you could always Skype me and just shine a light at me. I am laid back considering what an endurance trial each day is for me, but to do this kind of work you kind of need that attitude. Ask me anything,
rather we find out any deal breakers now instead of later. My skype is only available if I know someone wants to reach me so just message me here and throw me a time and I will make myself available. Skype name is “Beaurocracy”, after the corporation I maintain.

It is late and I am still working, though I make my own schedule, when running a corporation and dealing with employees, the fun never ends.

  1. Holy Run-on sentences, that was a difficult read. Also, you inadvertently revealed that you are using Plenty of Fish as your online dating medium

  2. I’m fine with that revelation, as long as you’re aware that this guy is a scientist. It is very important that all of us be aware of that.

  3. Karthik Raju says:

    I like how “Graduate” is capitalized, as well as the fact that he keeps mentioning his “multiple degrees.”

  4. I guess that’s just how scientists rolls.

  5. Haha. Did you ever skype him? He has the same goals as you but doesn’t seem like your type.

    but he might just have a PhD…
