match.com should change its slogan from “it’s okay to look” to “look with caution”
Posted by thejinius under dating
So all my girlfriends who did Match.com came out severely traumatized. One friend met a guy on Match who seemed normal and nice and ended up being in a relationship with him. Then his true colors eventually came out. She now refers to him as 666. My other friend calls her Match guy “Bi-polar pyscho”
I like to call my Match guys “Sixty dollars I will never see again.”
I was planning on writing a whole post on this but I just finished watching the original Dawn of the Dead and am still recovering. I’m surprised the neighbors didn’t knock on our door and ask if everything was okay because my roommate and I were screaming like banshees.
OMIGOD DON’T GO IN THERE! DON’T GO IN THERE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH EEEEEEEEEK AAAAARRRRRRRH!!!!!!
Here are some more lessons on surviving a zombie apocalpyse:
1. Do not enter abandoned buildings
2. If you do enter an abandoned building you certainly do NOT bring your pregnant girlfriend with you!!!!
3. If you leave your bag somewhere never go back to retrieve it.
4.Better hope you’re not a white dude because you’ll be the first to die in a zombie apocalypse
5.Run
I think it’s fitting that I’m talking about Match.com and zombies in the same post.

Not only Match, but eharmony as well. They are so bad for humans.
I could tell you horror stories for a week about the Match place. I am sure there are some nice normal people there, me being one of them, but I never met another nice normal person there. The guys I met all seemed to crawl out from under a rock.
I think I prefer watching zombie movies to trying to find a Match date, too.

agreed. one match.com survivor i know had to get therapy after the headcase she met (surgical resident who snorted coke before picking up the scalpel, but graduated tops in med school) did a number on her.
i think more people should revert back to having big-ass parties in order for people to meet–that way you can trace back any love interests to somebody you know and be forewarned if needed.

mate1 as well. only relationship there was with a MARRIED PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.
and OkCupid. they all seem normal til they come back to your house, eat your leftover pizza, and think it’ll be “cute and romantic” to wipe the grease on your stomach…
i’m a little more OCD than some, so that led to an emotional breakdown.

yeah, the original Dawn of the Dead was pretty sweet. Except for stupid things like going back for the bag, the characters were relatively good at surviving. Of course they made mistakes; zombie apocalypses are rough events to try doing right.
As a bit of a zombie fan, I’d suggest Fido- it’s a 1950’s Leave-it-to-Beaver, zombie romantic comedy. From a purist’s point of view, there are some problems, but it’s a good rent if you’re in the mood for more zombies.

online dating is the pits.

shit shit shit
I just posted my profile on Match. At least I haven’t paid for it yet.
I am now terrified. This is what I get for trying to “get out there!”
