When I came across The Stripping Nurse’s profile on Match.com my first thought was that he was way out of my league. To put it simply, he was beautiful. Tall, blonde, blue eyed and had a body that could make angles cry. When I picked my jaw up off the floor I reluctantly sent him an email not sure of the response I would receive, if any. Low and behold, he actually responded. He seemed to be a decent guy and not the egotistical manwhore that I was expecting. He worked as a nurse by day and a stripper by night (how very super hero-ish). I thought it a rather random combination at the time but then again, it was a crime to keep that beautifully sculpted body covered up.
We decided on meeting for dinner. Being the adventurous one I decided to drive out to his place which was about 45 minutes away. I would have ridden a bicycle to New York if it meant getting to rub up against this fine example of perfection. Upon first glance, he was just as gorgeous in person as in any photo I had seen. Although, I wasn’t quite able to read his reaction in regards to me. He looked neither happy nor disappointed. But, I was hungry and hopeful so off to dinner we went.
Since I wasn’t that familiar with the restaurants in his area he suggested that he drive. That is where his charm started to wear off. Now that I think about it, he never really had much charm to begin with. Even before we met face to face I was so distracted by his six-pack and biceps that I hardly noticed his underdeveloped personality. When he pulled into the McDonald’s parking lot, I noticed. In disbelief, I turned to him and suggested if we could go somewhere a little more, oh I don’t know, less fast foodish? He may not have been enamored with me but since we had already resigned ourselves to dinner and I had just driven 45 minutes to “The 909” would it have killed him to hit up a Denny’s?
His conversational skills were in desperate need of help and he was about as fascinating as watching the evolution of the rock. I talked to myself for about an hour and when I was done we headed back to his place. Realizing that he was not indeed my Prince Charming I tucked my tail between my legs and headed home. For the gazillionth time (this wasn’t the first or the last) I tried to tell myself that perhaps I should think twice before gallivanting across Southern California just to meet a nicely sculpted physique and pretty face. I had even shaved my legs in the hopes of getting my own personal show. Male Reviews can get expensive with having to find al those dollar bills and all. I’ve been known to run out of 1’s and start shoving larger bills into the g-strings of stripping Gods just to get close. True, I’m about as shallow as a rain gutter when it comes to the opposite sex but I just can’t seem to help myself. The night was a complete bust but they can’t all be great.
To my surprise, a few weeks later The Stripping Nurse Instant Messaged me apparently trying to land himself a Booty Call. Suddenly, he was outgoing and flirtatious. If only he had been that way when we first met. But I tend to bore quickly so I had already moved on to my next online victim. Unfortunately for him, being the true Sagittarius that I am, once you’ve lost my attention it’s very rare that you will ever get it back. Besides, if I was looking for a Booty Call I sure as hell would pick one a lot closer to home. However, one thing is for certain, I guess you could say he didn’t consider me quite the troll I thought he initially might have. Unless, he typically makes it a habit of trying to bed trolls. I know men that have screwed worse.
Apparently, Karma reads my blog. She still has yet to take my advice though. Opting instead to continue her masquerade on systematically ruining my life. I’m once again reminded that she also has a fantastic sense of humor. Only I’m not laughing.
Here’s how I know she reads my stuff. If you all (yes, all four of you) will remember, in my 2nd ever blog posting titled “Dear Karma” I made my disappointment in the country of Nigeria known. Yes, I agree, perhaps I’d been a little hasty and somewhat generalized in my blaming of the entire country. Maybe I should have looked at the bright side being as Nigerian scammers seem to be the only ones even responding to my futile attempts at trying to find employment. But, I watch Chris Hanson’s Dateline on NBC and he says it’s Nigeria’s fault. And whatever Chris Hanson says I believe whole heartedly. Haven’t you watched “To Catch a Predator”? That show is brilliant! Those 49 year old men were just trying to meet up with those 13 year old girls to talk…
So, no more than two days after posting “Dear Karma” I heard from a gentleman on Plentyoffish.com. I may be tall, white and blonde but I can definitely appreciate a fine looking black man. Actually preferring me some Reggie Bush to Antonio Sabato Jr. given the choice. Wait, strike that. Given the choice I’d gladly take both with a little side of Josh Holloway (aka Sawyer from “LOST”) but I digress…
We chatted over Instant Message for a little while as his phone was broken and he wasn’t getting it replaced for another week or so. A week? That red flag I hid behind his biceps. I noticed, even through IM that English was not his native tongue so I asked where he was from. You guessed it. Nigeria. In all my years of online dating this was my first Nigerian and the timing seemed somewhat suspect. At this I almost logged off and crawled back into bed. Had Nigeria infiltrated Plenty of Fish? Not only was I being inundated with email responses to my resume but now there was a flesh and blood person asking me to meet him for a date! Was he going to take me out to dinner, give me a second party, out of state check, ask me to keep 10% as my commission and then give him the difference in cash to pay for it? Was he going to steal my credit card, buy electronics and then have me ship them to his business in Nigeria? How had Nigeria found me??? A million scam scenarios went through my head. I may have actually made a few up in my over exaggerated, paranoid mind also. But, I’m a woman that happens to be a complete sucker for abs and pecks so I hid that red flag behind his well chiseled abs and 6’4” height.
Having not been in the best mood lately I wasn’t keen on meeting anybody new that evening. But, it was a lovely night and I felt like going for a walk at the nearby park. I figured he could meet me there. I’d make sure not to bring anything with any of my information on it. Even though, at this point I was pretty sure that Nigeria was infiltrating my life and probably already knew my bank pin codes. Since they already had my resume, I knew they had my address, phone number and email. Now they had one of their representatives trying to steal my heart too. Either way, I asked him to meet me at the park. But, oh no, he didn’t have a car. Supposedly his brother had borrowed it to go to the beach. At this point, I had enough flags to make my bed but I shoved this one behind my dreams of him having a 10” cock. So? What? I’ve been having a dry spell and I’m somewhat of a size queen. Don’t judge me unless you’re fucking me.
Against my better judgment and having not even spoken on the phone with Mr. Nigeria I drove to meet him at Griffith Park to go for a walk. Luckily, it was close by and early enough in the evening where I didn’t have to worry about being raped or stumbling upon gay prostitutes in the bushes. When I first saw him standing outside he looked pretty much like his picture, only thinner. Whereas most men complain about meeting women from the internet that are 20 lbs heavier than their photos, I have the opposite problem. The men I meet are all thinner than their pictures. That’s not necessarily bad but I typically like my men to look like linebackers. I’m a large girl myself and 5’9” tall. I’m going to look awkward standing next to a guy the size of Prince. Or is he still formally known as?
We got to walking. The topic of what we did for our livings came up. Or rather my lack of. I quickly turned the conversation back to him. What did Mr. Nigeria do for a living you ask? Import / Export. Of course. I should have known. I was on a walk with a fucking cliché. Import what? Humans? Export what? Playstations and DVD players? I never got the specifics and it took everything in my power not to ask him. I survived the walk and he was a gentleman the whole time. We ended up going for coffee and I left unscathed with all 49 cents left in my wallet. My emails have not increased nor my spam so maybe he wasn’t a Nigerian spy out to steal my identity after all.
A week after that walk, Karma sent me another Nigerian…swear to God…
P.S. Got an Instant Message today from “The Fireman”. I asked how he was doing. His response? That he “was having a bad week but he could still shoot a full load! LOL” So glad he told me. I’ll sleep much better tonight knowing that…Moron.
I’ve finally made it! I’m now an international smart ass. I’ve teamed up with the male version of me from across the pond in London. In addition to having this blog, I will also be featured on www.sexandthesickie.com. I highly recommend you check it out to learn about my new partner in crime. We are combining our forces to fight boredom and ridicule everyone that we come into contact with in the online dating circuit. We have also added a little advice column. As you can see from my blog entries I don’t sugar coat things and I certainly won’t start here either. If you or any of your friends have questions in regards to online/internet dating and would like to get a response from a feisty woman’s point of view AND a London lotharios shoot us an email. You can contact me direct at missmelisamae77@gmail.com or go through the Dating Advice link on the www.sexandthesickie.com website. Please be aware that your questions will be posted. You can also find out more information about linking your blog as well as sharing your online dating stories at www.sexandthesickie.com so check it out!
I apologize in advance as I’m feeling particularly feisty today. I just finished taking a 200 question personality test for a job interview. Is there really a wrong way to answer “Do you often find yourself smiling?” I can’t wait to get the results of that test. What I want to know is, how does that have anything to do with my experience as an Administrative Assistant? Not one single question had anything to do with the position being applied for. Or any position for that matter. But my desire to eat, keep a roof over my head and buy toilet paper outweighed my overwhelming desire to tell the business consultant issuing the test to go fuck herself. She spent five minutes going over my resume and 30 minutes waiting for me to finish the “What Kind of Psycho Are You?” test. Apparently, my experience and qualifications were far less important than my emotional wellbeing. Let me assure you, after having to answer 200 variations of “Is your voice monotone or does it vary in pitch?” my being is not well. I suppose if I had answered “No” to the smile question she would have automatically dismissed me as being a ticking time bomb and called out to Security. I felt like winking at her and telling her I needed to get something out of my car and I would be right back…
From what was explained to me, Ms. Independent Business Consultant Cuntrag (I don’t use that word lightly. I don’t usually have a problem with Consultants) was hired by the company seeking an Administrative Assistant to streamline their growing company and save them money. Right off the top of my head, I could have told this company how to save money…and the rain forest. Get rid of Ms. IBCC and her six page questionnaire asking if I thought “others liked me”.
This whole process has got me thinking. Looking for employment is much the same as looking for love online. Both unfortunately, usually ending much the same way. With a broken ego, crushed spirit and an empty wallet. Not to mention the feeling after all is said and done of being emotionally drained and having been buttraped without any lube.
In both cases you are forced to take your life’s worth of experiences and knowledge and paraphrase them into a few short paragraphs in the hopes that you’ve done something that will make you stand out above the rest. In the event that you are able to catch someone’s eye you set up a face to face meeting. The interview, per say. You answer questions about your past, future and present while the interviewer (date) tries to determine if you are worthy of being hired (or taken on a second date). By the time your hour is up you are left second guessing yourself and your answers, hoping they will call yet knowing they won’t and wondering why the guy at Colfax Liquor won’t give you a discount for buying vodka in bulk after your soul has just been crushed.
The good thing about online dating is that I actually get responses to my ad and I get laid. Possibly just because I have breasts (big beautiful breasts) but at least I get some sort of feedback and for at least 30 seconds I can forget all about having “too much experience” to toss burgers yet not enough for an entry level receptionist position because I don’t have my degree (even though I’ve been working in Admin for 12 years.) So, for that I salute you Match.com, Plenty of Fish, Eharmony and any other dating site out there that I haven’t mentioned.
But one last thing, as I’m typing this out I just received an email from Ms. Cuntrag. I must have failed the personality test because they chose to hire another candidate. Guess there was a wrong answer to the smiling question after all. Humph, Imagine that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just for kicks I’ve decided to revamp my cover letter (much as I did with my online dating profile). If they want something that will stand out that’s exactly what I will give them…Check it out. And yes, I started sending this out shortly after my rejection…
Dear Asshole,
I am completely qualified, if not over qualified for this position. I do not however, possess a degree. I guess that of and in itself is enough to disqualify me from filling the position of receptionist and lapdog but I strongly disagree. Apparently, having 12 years of “on the job” administrative and clerical experience (six of those being in a management position) is just not equivalent to an AA or Bachelor’s Degree. Guess what, some of us just didn’t have the money. I love that at 31 years of age, I am now being penalized for being an active tax paying member of society since I was 18 years old. My bad (not exactly a professional term but it works for me at the moment. Lest we forget….I’m not college educated…member????)
To be offered anything less than $20 an hour actually insults my intelligence. Especially considering that someone on the corner of any given street will make at least $12 or $13 an hour twirling a sign in the hopes you will come into their store to buy the newest cell phone.
So, I actually hope that you don’t call me for I’m sure that I have already applied to your open position and wasn’t qualified.
Kisses, Melisa
You should see how I revamped my actual resume. Now if this doesn’t get anybody’s attention, I don’t know what will.
I’m done venting. Have a good night. I’m about to go curl up and watch “South Park” reruns since I have failed miserably this week in both the job front and the love front. But all is not lost. I have a very special inanimate friend that I keep under my bed for these lonely nights. All it needs is a D battery and we are good to go. I may be giving myself Carpel Tunnel Syndrome but nobody’s been too eager to hire me for my typing skills anyway. At least I still go to bed satisfied and I don’t have to nudge it to keep from snoring.
1. I can, in fact, type quite well while intoxicated. 2. Just because you think jerking off on your webcam to be a romantic gesture, I myself do not. 3. There is no quicker way to kill a man’s premature dirty talk than mentioning your period. Trust me when I tell you I detest your sedgeway from my work day to my favorite sexual position in one sentence flat as much as you hate me talking about bleeding from my loins. So, if you don’t want me talking about granny panties, 18 Hour Bras and Tampax don’t ask me if my nipples were hard while I was working on payroll for 39 fucktards. 4. Just because you have the uncanny talent of being able to Instant Message and Email with 15 different people does not make you a “playa”. 5. Sure, it's entirely plausible that you're just too busy in your life to go out and meet people in person yet still be able to IM for five hours straight every evening. 6. There are 10,0001 books and articles about “meeting the one” and maximizing your chances of meeting people online when all it boils down to is common sense and logic. There is no “secret” to online dating success. It’s a numbers game and I don’t consider being honest, posting recent pictures and meeting in public places as “secrets”. 7. Putting words like “Hot”, “Sexy” and “The” will attract perverts and men looking to get their rocks off. 8. If I had starting charging a nickel, no wait, a penny for every time a man decided it was a good idea to send me a picture of his junk Visa and MasterCard would finally get off my back. 9. “I’m looking for a serious relationship” is code for “I’m going to tell you that I love you on the first date and then try to fuck you without a condom”. 10. Everybody loves their jobs…except me. 11. There are two constants when it comes to online dating. 1) Women lie about their weight and 2) Men lie about their height. Add 20 lbs and subtract two inches. 12. No matter how many pictures you have posted the person you are talking to will inevitably ask for more. Even if they only have one or two posted themselves to your nine. 13. Everybody “likes to have fun”, “looks better in person” and “enjoy going out as much as staying in”. 14. Let me guess, you've never done anything like this before...
I’ve fallen in love. I’m sure some may wonder how that is even possible considering I have a heart of stone but it has finally happened. He’s a wonderful man and his name is Michael. We’ve actually been seeing each other off and on for a few years now but this time I think it’s for real. You may have heard of him. He owns a craft store? Ring any bells?
I realize I didn’t meet him off of the internet but he does have a very extensive online presence so I could have. And I didn’t have to pay an exurbanite amount of money to find him on Match.com or Eharmony either. It was truly fate. I was driving by one day and our eyes locked. It was pure magic.
First off, he’s huge! Being the size queen I am this makes for a very happy woman. He always smells nice and he’s never boring. I’m never forced to ask the dreaded question “what do you want to do?” He anticipates my needs and desires and makes sure that if I need anything, it is already there and waiting. We have the same things in common so we are never bored. He’s dependable and always there when I need him. Once he’s settled in one place he’s guaranteed to remain there for many, many years.
The only major drawback I see in this relationship is that he’s seeing other women. I don’t typically agree with sharing my man but he has been open and honest about it from the get go. As long as I can agree to this open relationship things will be fine. It may take a little getting used to but as long as I can have my Pool Boy on the side I’m willing to give it a shot. He’s also not much of a night owl but I can spend every minute of every waking day with him. Between the hours of 9am and 9pm, excluding Christmas and Easter, of course. So, that’s it. My search is over. Never again will I need to scour the dredges of the internet dating cesspool only to find that I’ve set up a date with a man who has an unrealistic self image and an obvious Napoleon Complex.
SPOILER ALERT: I get laid in this story. As a matter of fact this story is ONLY about me getting laid. So, if you are anti-whore or anti-sex than you may not want to go any further. I may be construed as a hooker after this post but guess what, I don’t particularly care and I certainly didn’t get paid. This is after all, MY blog and sometimes a girl just needs some new meat. Isn’t life grand?
The Fireman
“So, I hooked up with a fireman last night. But he had a really big head.”
“They all do, Mel.”
“No, really. He literally had a big head!”
I met “The Fireman” off of Craigslist. When it came to “The Fireman” there really were only three things that stood out about him. One of which, as you probably guessed, was his abnormally large cranium. The second was his attempt at dirty talk. At one point, being so ridiculous that I wanted to wrap his overly sized skull in duct tape just to shut him up. And last but not least, his general use of the backhand which I will explain later. But, he was hung like a horse and it was a welcome distraction from my ordinary, mundane existence and lack of a fulfilling sex life.
The idea of a 9” cock excited me. Turning down a well hung fireman was out of the question. Especially considering that I was having somewhat of a dry spell. Any ordinary booty call was not going to suffice. The arrangements were made and the plan was set into motion. We had talked at length before and I had already seen a few pictures of him and although he was no George Clooney he was far from the Elephant Man. Being as I was not all that attracted to him and was not looking for any strings, the nervousness that usually accompanied a first blind date were not there. After all, this wasn’t really a date. I couldn’t have cared less about what he thought of me and that freedom was refreshing.
“The Fireman” showed up and I ran down to the lobby to greet him. For once, here was a man that had not lied about his height. Just as promised, he was 6’1”. But, being as I was more interested in him horizontally, this refreshing bit of honesty was a moot point. After all, laying down we are all the same height. Aside from that, he reminded me of a Basset Hound. He had sad dog eyes and the most enormous head I’d ever seen. If he hadn’t been so tall and lean it probably wouldn’t have been so noticeable. Or maybe it would have. It was that big. How had I not noticed this in the pictures I’d seen?
Once inside my apartment we made ourselves some drinks. We made idle chit chat while working towards a good buzz. It was fascinating how he was able to litter our conversation about work and family with references of my naked body and his sexual prowess. I considered it truly an art form how he was able to weave my tits into every other sentence. At one point, I think I was actually getting a little jealous of my girls.
Upon “The Fireman’s” arrival, he had brought some supplies. Kudos to safe sex. I wasn’t aware that his Sav-On Bag O’ Goodies would include more than the Magnums he had promised. While working on round two of our drinks I asked for the cigarettes he had purchased on his way over. He told me they were in “the bag”. I went to survey the contents of “the bag” looking for my cancer sticks. Condoms, check. Lube, check. Cock-ring, che….Uhm, yeah. That’s right, no cigarettes.
There are only three reasons I can think of for a man to have brought a cock-ring. First being the ability to make him last longer and avoid the awkward pre coital “oops”. But from hearing him speak, that would not be a problem. Words like “several hours” and “multiple” were often used when trying to sell me the idea of us hooking up. Honestly, several hours is just too damn long for me to be pretending I’m Jenna Jameson. I top out at about 30 minutes and I like to be able to walk the next day. Call me crazy.
Secondly (and I may be wrong here), using such a device is supposed to add some girth to the male member. Considering that he was already sporting Trojan Magnums I figured that wasn’t the reason either. And thirdly, he must be gay. I certainly wasn’t getting any gay vibes so I was slightly confused. I asked him about it. His excuse? That he’d left it in that bag from a previous encounter and had just grabbed the bag to put his love gloves in on his way over. I thought it strange that he just happened to have a bag lying around his place with a cock-ring in it but I opted not to delve any further into that line of conversation. I’m all about toys (for me) and I may be considered naïve by some but something about seeing a man wearing a cock-ring reminds me of Gay porn. And frankly, that is definitely not my cup of tea.
Once he assured me he wouldn’t be wearing his nifty device “unless I wanted him to” we got back to our evening. Things steadily progressed from there because frankly, I was bored of the innuendos and was ready for him to show me how good he was with directions. We went to my bedroom and began the horizontal mambo. Aside from a desperate need to manscape, he was just as expected. I didn’t notice the curvature right away due to the size but it would become painfully obvious later that because of that curvature I wouldn’t be having any fun on my back. So, right into doggy style I went.
Things were going quite well until he tried his own version of what I can only consider reflexology. He proceeded to bend my leg so that he was holding my foot up by his side. No big deal, I’m limber. He then began to slap the arch of my foot with the back of his hand. Repeatedly. He didn’t even have the decency to switch feet. I’m not sure what my left foot did to deserve such a beating but “The Fireman” seemed to feel it necessary. Combine that with his attempt at dirty talk and I almost asked him to leave so he wouldn’t hear me laughing while he was trying to be sexy and in control.
Now, I’m all for a little dirty talk while doing the nasty. A well timed “How do you like that?”, “Does that feel good?”, “Harder, faster” and “Mmmmm” will usually suffice. Just don’t call me “momma”, “mommy”, “ma” or any form of mother because that just creeps me out. I found it amusing when he asked me “how I liked his big brown cock”. I thought it hysterical when he asked “how I liked his big brown, half Persian, half Italian cock”. All the while keeping the rhythm with his physical assault of my left foot. First off, his phrases were entirely too long. When implementing the art of dirty talk, less is more. Keep it simple. If I had wanted him to recite his dissertation I would have had him do it before we got naked. Plus, it just wasn’t sexy coming from Mr. Potato Head. I felt half inclined to ask him how he liked my “quarter English, quarter French, half Slavic, American pink pussy” but I held my tongue not wanting to get into a conversation about ethnicity.
Luckily for me, after round one, the fireman got called into work and I didn’t have to be tortured with three hours of dirty talk about his half breed penis. Since then he’s made several attempts at trying to get together again but unless he has laryngitis I’m not interested. I also still get the occasional, out of the blue, random text asking “you don’t want a big throbbing cock pounding?” Yeeeeeaaaah, No. I’m all for a big cock but a throbbing one? That’s just gross. Isn’t there something he can take for that? Penicillin perhaps? And are there any ladies that actually respond to that shit? For me, that’s JUST...NOT…SEXY!
A few men I dated for a brief period of time and a few men just turned into platonic relationships. "Shithead" was the exception and the closest I ever came to actually having a relationship with somebody I met off of the internet.
As usual, we followed the basic protocol of emailing, phone conversations and then deciding to meet in person. His profile had four pictures posted on Match.com. Two were unclear, one was black and white with the tell-tale signs of an ex-girlfriend cropping and one was of a cop and a civilian. The mere sight of a man in uniform was enough to make me contact "Shithead" right away in hopes that he was the man carrying the badge. Come to find out, the closest thing he had to a uniform were his eating pants.
I pulled up to his apartment and he came out to greet me. Upon first glance I noticed his walk. For fear of sounding rather crass, he walked as though he were clenching his butt cheeks and had a stick up his ass. After getting to know him better, that idea made more sense than you’d imagine. He was nothing short of dumpy and three inches shorter than his profile stated. Again, I had just met another man with whom I’d had great phone chemistry with but was not physically attracted to (understatement). But willing to give things a chance I stuck around.
He was different than the men I usually dated in both looks and personality. I had convinced myself that even though he wasn’t what I was looking for I should give him a shot because he was the type of guy I should be looking for. On paper that is. He was stable, had his own place, college educated, had a steady job and his family lived hours away. Perfect!
He was your typical frat boy that played video games and thought that poop was part of any natural day to day conversation. I enjoyed his playful sense of humor (minus the poop talk) and the idea that he didn’t tend to stress the small stuff was quite refreshing. Everything was a joke to him and it wasn’t long before we were hanging out almost daily. He was local and convenient and I really enjoyed the carelessness that he exuded. There was no pressure and I enjoyed the slapstick comedy that seemed to occupy our time together.
We were never exclusive as he was not looking for a girlfriend and I was having fun still dating other men on the side. He wasn’t aware of that part but then again if a man is dating online and tells you he isn’t looking for anything serious then he’s usually dating and/or screwing more than just you also.
Eventually, we pulled the fade method on each other and things boiled down to occasional IM’s and emails. It was fun while it lasted but when all is said and done did I really want a serious relationship with someone that thought the idea of taking a dump in a public restroom something to be proud of? Not particularly.
Unfortunately, our time apart was not to last as my mother ended up hiring him to set up some computers in her new office. So, amongst idle chit chat, he mentioned how he was now seeing an Asian Doctor. His words, not mine. Perhaps in an attempt to make me feel envious or jealous about his fine catch, he proceeded to let me know how much money she had (lots), what she drove (Jag), her profession (Doctor) and so forth. Then, as if to seal the deal and make sure I knew what I was missing out on, told me that she just couldn’t get enough of him in bed. Mind you, yes, we had had an intimate relationship over the past year but not one that I would exactly write home about. If anything, it was just something to do and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to block that particular episode from my mind. Picturing him with his Asian Doctor going at it actually repulsed me because I knew what she had and it certainly was nothing to brag about. If I have my choice, I’ll pass on the man whose belly is so big that he can’t even see his own penis and longs for the day that he can stink up the stock room of the local Ralph’s Grocery Store. Although, I suppose it is good to have goals.
While you may think that I have focused my whole story on "Shithead’s" love of his own excrement, let me assure you that our times together often focused around that too. I did "Shithead" a favor and didn’t throw up on him while he was speaking because I thought that may be construed as slightly rude so I let him revel in his delirium while trying to keep a straight face. Of course, he was only “having fun” with his Asian Doctor because he was still “playing the field”, “not looking for a relationship” and busy being a Playboy (gag).
A few months later, I noticed him online and decided to send him a brief Instant Message just to see how he was doing. Apparently "Shithead" took that as an ego boost that I was still thinking about him. I should have known that a man with his ego would consider something so generic a confession of my undying affection. Not long into the conversation he told me that he and his Asian Doctor had bought a condo together and that he “would probably marry this one”. Not because he was in love with her (yes, I had to ask) but because she “made a decent amount of money, minded her own business and he hadn’t found anyone better”. Again, his words, not mine. Now, if that’s not a true declaration of love, I don’t know what is. One thing about "Shithead", he always was a true romantic.
He cut our conversation short by saying that his girlfriend would be home soon and he didn’t want to get caught chatting with another girl. Its not like we were discussing the Donkey Show or sharing naked pictures, we were just catching up. Considering that they were now living together and that he would “probably” marry her, this was the first time in nine months that I had ever heard him call her anything other than the Asian Doctor he was boinking with a Jag.
This is where things get interesting:
Months after that a girlfriend of mine and I stumbled across the website Dontdatehimgirl.com. Just for kicks we did a broad search of the men in Southern California. I didn’t actually think I would come across someone I knew but being as I had been online for a while nothing would have surprised me. Well, except for whom I actually found. That’s right, "Shithead". Considering his dumpy nature, so-so looks, beer belly and tendency to think that farting was cool, Shithead was the last person I would have considered seeing on this site. I quickly clicked on his picture to get the scoop. A woman had written about his dishonesty and how he had cheated on her. The site had a comment section where other women that might know him could add their own opinions. Five girls had actually commented making derogatory remarks about him being gay, fat and a cheater. When I showed my mother the website she was amazed that he could actually get five women to go out with him in the first place. That says a lot about my opting to date him for almost a whole year! But I’m not perfect, I OFTEN make mistakes. What was news was the Adultfriendfinder.com profile screen name that one of his ex’s had posted. Being the curious cat that I am I immediately checked out this Adultfriendfinder.com. What an interesting site that was! Perfect for those looking only for friendships of the intimate nature as there were very little clothes to be seen. I wasn’t surprised though considering the name. I may have been born at night, but not last night.
Now this is where I become retarded.
In order to look for him I actually had to come up with my own profile and set up a basic account. So yes, in addition to being retarded I also slipped into online predator mode. Nice, huh? I’m not sure why I was so curious being as I had already seen him naked and wasn’t too impressed by what I’d seen. Perhaps I was bored. Who knows? So there I was, now an active member of Adultfriendfinder.com. To make matters worse, in order to actually have Open Access to the profiles I had to pay for their one month membership fee. I know what you are thinking and you really don’t have to say it. I checked out a few profiles while searching for "Shithead", just out of curiosity (I wanted to get my moneys worth). When I had gotten all the peni my poor eyes could handle I looked him up, not sure of what I was going to find (but having a pretty good idea). I typed in his screen name and Vwah-La. There was his 5” penis in all its glory. He actually had two pictures posted. Both did not include his face only of his teeny peeny from different angles (I find it amazing how a few strategic angles can make one’s junk look so much bigger than what it is in actuality). Strangely enough, his Adultfriendfinder.com pictures were actually clearer than those he had initially posted on Match.com.
I read through his profile and found it interesting how he talked about having cyber sex quite often (Ew) and how he wanted to have fun “in and out of the bedroom”. Helloooo, you are always either IN or OUT of the bedroom (God, I hate cliché statements almost as much as I hate shaving for a bad lay). That’s when it donned on me, I had just spent $39.95 to see a picture of a 5” penis that I had already seen a hundred times before. The funniest part about this whole thing (aside from having just paid $40 to see cock pictures) is that I later found out from little dick himself that his loving Asian Doctor girlfriend was the one that had actually posted him on Dontdatehimgirl.com to begin with. Ah, young love.
One last tidbit for the road.
As if it couldn’t get any better. I saw him AGAIN on the internet just a few months after finding him on Adultfriendfinder. This time it was Lavalife. He had posted in the “Intimates” section seeking someone discreet (because of course, he had the Asian Doctor at home). He noted that he was into phone sex and cyber sex (see a pattern here?). What I want to know is, how does one have cyber sex? Typing while trying to jerk off seems like it would be distracting, no? He noted that he had had some luck with that website in the past and wanted to see if there was anything new going on. Ahhh yes, "Shithead" was truly one of Match.com’s finest. What a winner.
Here are a few more entertaining responses to my online dating profile. I also received a plethora of trouser snake pictures. As if in some way, I might be so impressed as to drop what I was doing in order to ride the bologna pony. Truth be told, I actually consider sending me nothing but a cock pic as just plain unimaginative. At least try putting a hat on it or something...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You actually wonder why you’re single?
**No, not particularly. You did read my profile, right?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is by far the worst posting i've ever read. Congratulations
**Fuck you very much** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, How are you doing? How is your day going? I was wondering if you would mind telling me about yourself. What do you like to do for fun? What do you do for work. I would like to chat with you either on Yahoo or Aim.
**Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I just list several paragraphs about myself, what I like to do for fun and what I do for work? I have both Yahoo and AIM. I also have MSN Messenger but guess what? I won't be chatting with you on any of them** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wow!! I'ts so amazing everything you said, I swear, it sounded JUST like me, wow!! thats pretty scary!! I've got everything you want, but I'm not a jock, i'm built like a swimmer, narrow shoulders, trim!! no pot belly or fur on my back!! 6 ft 1 175 lbs brown hr & eyes, very oral, hung 8, i live in van nuys, im sure your going to get a shitload of replies back, so i don't expect you to even read this, or, let alone reply to me, but if you did, I NEED to know something!! Are you a SCORPIO? cause I am!!!!
**So glad he's a Scorpio? As if I give a shit. The picture he sent me was one he took of himself, sitting on the toilet fully clothed. Was that the only place he could take a picture? And who has a mirror directly in front of their toilet anyway?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Him: what garbage Me: Thanks for taking the time to read my garbage. Him: ur the best... and I live in Studio city too Me: I just moved to Studio City a few weeks ago. I'm originally from Pasadena Him: man.. that's far. :) Me: Yes, I actually had to change zipcodes...life is so rough Him: send me a sexy bathing suit or lingerie shot
**HUH?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What you are looking for will never happen…open your eyes
**Probably not. But a girl can dream, can't she?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here’s some honesty back at you…
Get a good vibrator and a couple issues of Playgirl, because that's as close as you're going to get to what you're looking for. Haven't you ever heard the saying, "beggars can't be choosers"? I know, I know, you'll tell me that you're not a beggar, but your ad says otherwise. I had no problem with your ad -- you even seemed like someone I'd want to have sex with -- until you listed the stringent requirements for the man that you want. WTF...??? Even Paris Hilton would have trouble finding a man that perfect!
I suppose it would be too much to ask to get a photo of you -- I would like one just to see how close you are the mental picture I've formed.
**What a presumptive prick...I totally don't need those issues of Playgirl** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK Here is some back!
Your right!...you are a mess...a fucking big mess!!! BUT all the great sex comes with a person like that. So I am expecting some really turn me inside out mess with my head screaming orgasm stuff. if not i would ship you back to the Japanese "love Doll Store" for a refund!. You drink too much! (how's that) I haven't met you but now that that is out of the way, i don't have to say it again, unless you like walking home from Bakersfield after i dump your ass out on the side of the road for puking all over my new purple velour seats and rug in my 1957 VW bug with no air conditioning ( what was that about too hot or too cold???) As far as your Debt, who cares, I am not spending anything on you unless it gets me more sex with you and even then I will only spend $40 buck on you at the most. Being a narcissistic person who is insecure means i will have to tell you ALL THE TIME how good you look, which will in time, make you want to vomit at the mere mention and have a opposite affect whenever I say it so I WON"T SAY IT! as far as the ex- If i see him ANYWHERE i will immediately punch him out!! IF i hear you say his name or call me his name during our hour long fuck marathon, I will slap your ass till it is as red as an apple and not give you an orgasm, unless you want to finish yourself off, in which case i will need a video cam to film it for a rainy day. as far as your lazy ass nature, you need a dose of House cleaning... I find a small taser really helps motivate people when they "feel too lazy to do anything" it's amazing! really, I see full grown women out mowing the lawn and doing the house work, even while I am screaming for another cold shlitz beer from the sofa! As far as the "look your seeking, honey, I am 5-2 250 with a fully receeding hairline and thick glasses. I have two different colored eyes and was born with a large hump on my back, the only "six pack" your going to see is when you carry in my BEER!!! I like to recite obscure poetry as I am using the bathroom and never sing on key...ever! I am also going to tell you that I have plenty of money..........for me! What your going to live on I have no idea, you do go Dutch when you eat out right? I am a sex nut but have not met up with a women who can have sex with me five or six times a day...and who give fantastic head...( I know EVERY women says they do, but it is not a carrot or crunchy celery!)
Last, although I am a "born again virgin" I think my 15 years as a professional rock musician will keep me in good standing SO>>>
SEND ME A PICTURE THERE TOUGH GUY!!!!
**Why do I get the feeling that he was picked on in high school?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your all fucked up
but i like that. i also share drinking as my #1 hobby. also smoke green bud like it makes me smarter. i've got more issues than time magazine and can be found closing down many pasadena dives on a daily basis. if your curious about sinking to new levels send me a note.
**I didn't write him back although I should have. I'm sure that upon entering any bar in Pasadena his name is shouted out by the patrons and staff alike** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey you sound like a catch. Will you marry me? That was a great joke post. Thanks. Although what's really sad is, this type of post isn't far off from the typical ridiculous expectations that some of these fat bitches have on here. Amazing. I saw one recently that said she was "very attractive," 28, intelligent, witty, etc. I met up with her - had to be pushing 40, 35 lbs overweight, broke, had a moustache, looking for some help from a generous man... are you kidding me??
**I'm 35 lbs overweight and who said anything about it being a joke post?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I’m a selfish prick"
That was my original headline but Match.com rejected it and made me revise my page (a total of 7 times). You apparently also can't say blow job in your profile. I loved your page. 90% of these make me roll my eyes. "I love my family, and unicorns, and I believe true love..blah, blah blah" Ugh, gag me with a spoon. Yours was brutally honest. Awesome.You've inspired me to be honest. I'm kind of an asshole. I sleep with more women than is reasonable. I love people-watching but it really should be called people-judging because that's what it is. I think there is a reason monogamy sounds a lot like monotony. I'd like to meet or talk to you but you have to promise me you won't stalk me. I've dated my share of women with issues and the only ones I can't handle are the stalkers. I have gotten a restraining order on an ex who broke into my place and cut up a bunch of my clothes. So if you'll promise you aren't that kind of crazy, hit me up and we'll take it from there. Alex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ok, now give me the bad news! lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex or video games...... That's a hard one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, that's it. I could go on...and on...and on...and, well, you get the picture. I got some emails that rivaled Penthouse Forum in content but after you've read paragraph after paragraph about finger fucking and shaft licking, I tend to get a little bored.
I'm also amused to find that considering I mentioned sex maybe twice in roughly 6 paragraphs of information that was the one key factor dwelled upon. Next time I'll try posting that I'm a hermaphrodite with a cleft lip and a wooden leg that also enjoys sex. Just to see if I get the same overexuberant responses asking for an easy lay.
Due to an overwhelming response from all of my blogger fan (yes, singular. Anonymous, you know who you are) I have decided to post some of the more entertaining responses to my REAListic online dating profile. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Him: ...I never thought honesty could be so refreshing, well here's a little about me:I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays afternoon, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
Me: This was by far the most entertaining response that I've received thus far. Although, I've got to admit, I'm beginning to feel a tad inadequate considering all of your accomplishments. I thought that I had reached the height of my success when i became an expert at underwater basket weaving and a pro at frisbee golf. Apparently, there is still a lot left that I have yet to experience. How does one go about getting into translating ethnic slurs for Cubans or letting off steam by participating in full contact origami? I'd sure like to know...
Him: ...I tell you, those things are diddly-squat compared to getting a reply from a craigslist posting.I think you're partially responsible for last nights earthquake, your actions unsettled the... I'm gonna go out on a limb here... the rotation of the earth! Nobody replies to craigslist personals, period. Well, if we will live another day, I'd love to further immerse you into the intriguing world of the Cuban street slang or if you're adventurous enough, full contact origami.
**This was by far one of my favorites. I actually graced him with a response. I'm pretty sure he must be related to the Dos XX guy** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Ms Mut,(lol) LOVED your ad....for real...haha. This 55 yr old daddy wants to say hi to you......who knows what could happen. I'm harmless....over the hill......can't get it up......lol. Ralph
**His email address was rlcr69 and his name was Ralph Lickerson. Let's just say, he did not get a reply** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I LIKE YOUR ESSAY GREAT - IT IS NOT TRUE WAT THE SAY ABOUT BOOZE FU... U P THE BRAIN I LIKE TO MEET YOU YOU ARE A ORIGINAL...... THANK:S RAINER
**Uh, yeah. This is the type of response that actually kills brain cells while reading it** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have read your profile, and I think you are a very intellectual person, I do think that you are a person that actually see life as it is and nothing else, not to mention that your writing skill are way upper than just a high school graduate, not to mention that your profile is well elaborated, I think you have a very high sense of humor and specially I think I want to be your friend. The thing that amazes me about you, is your slavic ethnicity. So tell me how old are you??
**My slavic ethnicity was the most amazing thing? Apparently, Slavics can't write** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Gas... I've got the rest,Well, where to begin... I do appreciate your honesty. I have Cathouse tivo'd so no prob there ;) Well I know a little about you, and I am obviously interested, so I thought that I would give you a few insights about me. Well I work a little more that I should, infact still here (about to go grab a drink with my bro) I take my drinking seriously... not really a serious drinker, but when I drink I drink good booze. Tall, dark, and handsome (at least that's what my mum tells me ;) I call when I say I will, and am a bit of a romantic, but I'll try not to be cheesy. Don't have any ex-girlfriend drama, and am not married/nor have I been. Not a virgin, (I think I love sex more than you) but am always down to try new things and learn your likes and dislikes. Never been good at video games so don't really play them. I too am rather multi-ethnic, mum is British, Father is Indian, but born in east Africa. Oh yea, and dimensions... 26, 6'0, 190, dark hair dark brown eyes, work out but not obsessed. Well look forward to hearing from you soon.
**Isn't Nigeria in East Africa?** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm about 6'1", 210#, brown/brown, reasonably presentable, reasonably well-spoken and I'm considered funny, assuming you enjoy very bad puns. I know the difference between "there" and "their" and "they're" and I'm mostly a virgin. : ) I share your various "bad" habits and hate all videogames. My definite preference is to hang-out when I'm off work.
Write back when you can.
**He was also reasonably ugly. Not to mention sent a picture so bad that he would have to have a flawless personality to get a date. "Mostly" virgin? He's also a liar** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well at least you've got 25% good genes; which is more than I can say for most of the bastards I know around here. And you're right, your post does sound damn honest, well written, and worth reading... but I'll bet if you posted a picture of a supermodel and two sentences about being a cheap date; you would have gotten a million responses by now. Anyways, hi I'm Dan there's no way I'm going to go into a lengthy email here describing myself and what I want for the future and all that BS. ' cause, honestly, i dont know or care enough right now; but I've got lotsa stories about drunken mayhem and if you'd like to get loaded sometime and share some of yours or better yet make a new one... let me know later
**Perfect, I don't care to write you back** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am horney yet I will cuddle you & becum a friend I am a nice guy who is fun! Glad to trade pics / phone number IF U R real Just reply Waiting with a hard on like a rock! I KNOW HOW TO GIVE A GOOD MASSAGE!! Garth the Good Guy!
**Because everything about this email just screams "Good Guy"!** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey, Your post really caught my attention, esp the part about office manager for a construction company, as I am one for a roofing company located out in Northridge. Company I work for sounds like a coffee company (big hint for you) No dark hair (redhead actually) am 6 ft but no large muscles to brag about here. So I'm curious what construction company you work forand I do happen to fall into all the other categories you wrote about, with the exception of the physicality part. Like you, I take great pride in my high school graduation and being more literate than most of the other postings seen on CL. In fact, more literate than most business owners and people in the construction industry I have come across so far, present company excluded of course. One difference worth nothing however, is that I do love my job and the company I work for. So who are you and what company do you work for?
**Yawn...Btw, nothing turns me on like talking about work. NEXT...** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I guess that means just a blowjob is out of the question?
**You guessed right** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is probably the greatest craigslist ad I've ever seen...I'm a 25 year old asshole, born and raised in LA, working in the music industry...yeah I make money, but you won't get any of it, unless I got an amazing blowjob from you in the am or anal the night before...then maybe ill buy lunch...I'm not gonna cuddle all night, or even call you to see how your day went, but I got that good dick, and I know how to use it...if you're down, get back...
**I actually thought this was funny. Although, from experience I've found that men who "know how to use" their dicks usually don't. And really, how hard is it to use one? No pun intended...ok, pun intended** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Full head of hair? I want a woman with all natural DD's that defy gravity well into her old age. Oh Please.
**I told you to stop emailing me, Bruce Willis** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My God woman you are really screwed up. You need to talk to a shrink!!
**Ya think? That's why I started a blog** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi I am a fit sporty man, 195 lbs 5-11 clean healthy and with a new approach to all this. Into music meditation yoga spiritual refuge metaphysics adventure naturism weekend getaways Singing guitars karaoke 48 self-employed construction, grayish eyeglasses Love for Friendship and Good Times Mark
**Did ANYTHING about my ad indicate that I would be remotely interested in a "musical meditation yoga spiritual refuge metaphysics adventure naturism weekend getaway"? And I HATE karaoke** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Because really if you think a guy is hot, and hethinks you are hot, you'll fuck him - and enjoyfucking as long as he is cool and can handle you in bed
**I also got responses from Rocket Scientists** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How do you feel about pornography? Serious question.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cut out the boo hoo, sorry your a mess, wait I mean sorry your human. good luck with your "perfect man" hunt. and if you don't mind wish me luck with my "perfect women" hunt.I don't have a six pack, more of a mini keg, but I don't play video games. we can pretend I am a virgin... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ you sound interesting in disturbing sort of way... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I literally received hundreds of responses to my ad so it took a while to find ones I considered even remotely interesting. I did not spellcheck or alter these responses in any way. I figured that would take all the fun out of it. There are many more so keep a look out for Part 2...
