Height is the #1 reason I'm glad I've never done online dating. As a guy under 5'10" I'd be a dealbreaker to a surprisingly large number of women

She seems like an otherwise cool person who has been so popular on OKCupid that it started going to her head. That's the only explanation I can think of for someone managing to sound so conceited about being laid-back and relaxed

e: curious, how old is she? she was very adamant about her 20-28 age range but mentions having kids

If you actually give a gently caress about how a girl looks beyond her being cute and in decent shape I don't know what to tell you...

Short hair? Great!
Long hair? That's cool too.
Shaved head like Ripley? Awesome, take those pants off.
Armpit hair? That's fine.

For years I've been wondering why that garbage was so popular. I should have realized it was just escapist fantasy for unfuckable nerds. I'm kind of embarrassed it took me this long to figure out, I've watched enough Star Trek that I should recognize that sort of thing by now.

Ah well, thanks for clearing that up for me pal. :thumbsup:

OK, so uggo nerds and Jewish girls both love Seinfeld. But what about uggo Jewish nerdy girls, do they super-ultra-love it? Or does double-dipping slingshot them out of orbit and into the realms of good taste?

Yeah y'know what I'm gonna amend my previous statement to "don't bring this up on dates at all with anyone"

Like, this level of dislike for a well-liked classic TV show is pretty solidly something that should wait until after you're exclusive

Also if you think anyone has ever watched Seinfeld and wished they were George because of all the rear end he gets you either missed the point of Seinfeld or you know some seriously sad people

Don't smile in the picture, that's intimidating. Ladies love a good Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson-style People's Eyebrow, but if you don't have the 'brow muscle to pull that off just keep your face completely impassive; studies have conclusively proven that this is the most approachable expression.

lol when is 'garbage people' gonna go out of twitter fashion cos its really annoying and also the main cast of seinfeld go to bat to each other constantly, they ar good characters and people who say they aren't are just parroting.

The series finale was literally everyone they'd wronged throughout the series testifying in court that they were bad evil people followed by them being found guilty and sent to jail; this is not an ambiguous message

They help each other out, sure, but when Jerry breaks up with a perfectly fine girl for a really frivolous reason you're not supposed to think "good job, Jerry, you stick to your standards and I'm sure the right girl is out there somewhere for you :)"

Also Curb is the same way, every episode is "Larry David pisses someone off and either it is entirely his fault or he makes it way worse because he is neurotic and can't let anything go"

No, you're not supposed to think they're evil (although that is in fact what the other characters were testifying to in the finale :colbert:), but you are supposed to think they're kinda lovely and regularly make bad decisions for bad reasons which come back to bite them, and I have no idea how someone could parse that as "escapist fantasy for uggo nerds"

George isn't even a nerd for Christ's sake; he isn't smart and doesn't really have any interests as far as I can remember

This is the most depressing OKC profile I've seen in a long time and I can only hope it's some kind of joke:



If this isn't a troll, you gotta wonder why they even bothered making a profile at all if they weren't gonna even try making themselves sound good or marketable in any way

The only thing I can think of is (a) to satisfy nagging parents/relatives or (b) to use their possession of an online dating profile which gets no interest as a justification for further self-pity, continuing the endless downward spiral

(c) the desperate and misplaced belief that having a girlfriend/boyfriend will solve every problem you have with yourself

If it was this they'd have marketed themselves a little better or at least not spent the entire profile talking about how lovely they are, though

Maybe they're just so depressed that when given the option to write about themselves that kind of thing is just what naturally comes out :smith:

Unless that poo poo has caviar then it's highly unlikely

Even if you don't do poo poo like both salads and apps, then get dessert, let's say you're a grownup and get beers

Craft beers at restaurants are what, $6-8 unless you're getting like a Miller Lite in a bottle ($5) or an imperial IPL in a fancy goblet ($10)? Two of those per person at $7 each is $28. Throw in two small hipstery pizzas with like figs and prosciutto or whatever on them, $13 each, you're at $54. Add tax, round to one sig-fig for the purpose of post-writing, boom $60

Vegas is a "well THERE's your problem" detail; NYC is huge and I'd totally imagine that you somehow managed to miss eating at actually good Italian places the whole time you lived there especially if you already had your current opinion of it at the time
