I did not want to online date but I signed up for OkCupid because of a single profile that caught my eye. He messaged me back and now I'll be deleting my profile.

His message to me was:


You gentleman need to learn how to send better messages.

The very first sentence of any work of prose is perhaps the most important. I'm reminded of my 12th Grade English class: my teacher had us read the very first line of Much Ado About Nothing over and over, pointing out more and more things about just that one sentence that set the stage for that scene, that act, the entire play, the theme of the play, the motifs that would be addressed in the play, and everything else. Lets apply that here.


On the surface, we have the basics: you just moved to Arlington, Virginia to get your masters degree, and you want to know how we're doing. The reader is left with a lot of questions, here, and none of them are particularly interesting. Where did you move from. What are you getting your masters degree in. How recently is 'just.' None of these thoughts are particularly stimulating or inviting, and the 'sup' really makes me not want to have to fish around for an equally generic response.


The sentence is a fragment. This implies incompleteness. Charles Dickens, at the beginning of Bleak House, uses fragments to address the shattered and incomplete nature of the cases at Chancery Court, further evoking the confusing motif with the use of fog. Here, it evokes an incompleteness about you. Perhaps it's an insecurity? A loneliness? Those would be likely, given that you're A) still in school, and B) a recent transplant to a new town. What is missing here is any sort of enthusiasm or interest or wonder about your new life. Again, the second level reveals a deep boredom inherent in your personality.


This section is called a "self summary." You have an opportunity to tell us, the world at large, the women you're trying to slide in to, about who you are as a person in a few brief sentences. This is usually a pretty difficult task, but a lot of people manage to do it. According to this, your self-summary, you are (and I'm being very generous here): A) Nomadic B) A student C) Interested in how I'm doing. That is you. I notice in the comments section here that you claim to be "sarcastic and silly." I'm not seeing any of that. I'm seeing a person who is so devoid of any kind of creativity about himself, the person he spends the most time with in the world, that his attempt to summarize who he is as a person is reduced to straight clinical facts about the last few months of his life.


What are you looking to get from this profile? Presumably you'd like to meet a woman to whom you are attracted. There is a long and storied history of romance, seduction, intrigue and raw sexuality in your genetic line alone. Your ancestors ranged from the most boring of lovers, ones who died childless and alone, to brazen lotharios with progeny ranging across international borders. The successful people in your gene pool likely had an acute understanding of first impressions. Since this is the internet, you have a very unique chance to sculpt your first impression in a way that can make or break you. I'll be honest, you're not the best looking guy in the world but your picture probably warrants at least a few lines of text read for people looking at your profile, so your first line here is the money. It's THE money. You can't have a certain stance or a way of dress or a suave voice on the internet or that perfect look as you walk over on the internet. You have a first line of your profile.


How many people in Arlington, VA are pursuing a masters degree? You could be any one of them.

PLEASE CLAP
Okay.. So lets filter the Fishes that can't handle this shark...
I am a very emotionally driven woman. I love deep, laugh hard and get hurt easily. If you're with me and are committed I will be the most loyal and caring person you've ever met. I'm not superficial and don't required a lot of flattery in the form of gifts. But I am needy when it comes to physical affections. I love hand holding and cuddling and walking side by side with your arm wrapped around me. I hate talking on the phone but love getting aa text or many every day. Another negative of me... I do consider myself to be the female version of Shallow Hal.. I have really bad habit of judging people by there appearances. And if there is not an initial physical attraction I don't uaualy message them... I'm a hypocrite I know.
I do have an infant daughter. She will be 1 soon and she does come first. So if I can't find child care I would hope a man who is interested would understand why I cannot meet at that current time. I have met people online in person before and am willing to do so again but it takes me.a.minute.to become comfortable with people. So I hope you have a bit of patience.
I promise there are good things about me.. But I directed this section more towards filtering the ones who don't want to deal with a woman who puts it all out there.. So if you're still interested in getting to know me.. Please feel free to message me.

tbh the biggest turn off here is using a reference to an awful 15-year-old jack black romantic comedy to explain a fairly normal human response of wanting to date attractive peeps.

I'm also a big fan of this metaphor

quote:

lets filter the Fishes that can't handle this shark...

I mean of course it has the underlying attitude of "if we don't get along it is of course your fault because you Can't Handle me, and if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best, sorry not sorry lol" but that's nothing new. The fish/shark metaphor just adds an additional layer of creepy to it. Because the implication is that if you stay away from the metaphorical shark, you are lesser and worthy of judgment because you Can't Handle being around a metaphorical predator who wants to metaphorically murder you. There's an impressive lack of self-awareness there if nothing else.

call me old fashioned but i like the paradigm of dating where you put your best self forward and agree to go along with the polite social fiction that you're both completely well-adjusted, self-actualized human beings and only slowly find out all the ways you're both fundamentally broken people months down the road.

the first few dates are like job interviews. you tell them you're a self-motivated multitasker and know all the applications real good, then wait till you're hired on to mess around posting on the something awful dot com forums

Much as I appreciate where you're coming from, nah. Rather burn out fast so I can go try someone else who thinks my bullshit is charming.

Same. Listen I know I'm poo poo, and you're poo poo, and we will be poo poo together, but let's just pretend for a little while. I can't date with both eyes open, that would be such a downer.
