OKC Message of the Day
I recently just had a girlfriend of 6 years leave me for South Korea. She's gone and ain't coming back. Got a degree, and she's teaching english, said she's better off alone. Whatever...enough of her. My name is Michael, I'm 23, and currently working at General Dynamics Land Systems. I build parts for the Abrams division of the military. I was born in 1985, I have a picture enclosed. I'm 5'8" 180lbs, black hair, I'm 1/2 Italian, hazel eyes that change colors from dark brown to dark green. I graduated High School at Godby, and took some college courses at TCC. While going to TCC from 2002-2006 I was working at GameStop as an Assistant Manager, later promoted to Manager in 2007, then some shady stuff went on with the DM and I pursued other endeavors. I then got a piercing degree and worked 1 month at a jewelery store, it really wasn't for me, so I applied at Movie Gallery. They had me as a Store Manager In Training from October 07 to January of this year, and they filed for Bankruptcy, and terminated my position. And now, here I am. I'm a writer, been writing since I was 13. Songs and stories and a little for my Highschool paper. Currently I'm living with my best friend and his wife, and really just trying to find my place as ALOT of other things in the course of the past 5 years have compiled. Anyways, sorry, I ramble.I'm not like anyone my age. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I'm hopelessly addicted to World Of Warcraft, but not so much that I don't go out. Know what I mean? Because I am honest, I'm giving you my real email address and myspace.
I like!
No thanks!

I mean. This doesn't engage me at all. It's like he just copy and pasted his bio in and expects me to start the conversation.

All it really needed was, "But I wasn't even supposed to BE HERE today!"
Sharon said, (37 days ago)
OH, and if he weighs 180, I weigh 100 pounds. :) Not that I'm a weightist - but if you're going to put it in there - at least don't LIE about what you weigh.

Wow. Um.
Dude seems like a loser, honestly. I feel bad for saying it, but there it is.

"let me start off with a description of a woman who was so depserate to lose me that she moved to South Korea. And if that doesn't win you over, I'd like to give you my unimpressive job history and delusional believs about my writing skills. Aren't i real? Don't you love me? You're a bitch if you don't feel the awesome I'm bringing."
at least, that's what my babel fish said when I ran his post through

@Moose: Either way, that guy is a "no".
@Sharon: But, I mean... damn. That guy makes no attempt to hide how pathetic he is. Shouldn't he at least try to seem desirable?
ABoyNamedArt said, (37 days ago)
Jay's right. All that really matters is the pay stub, right? Right?
purl said, (37 days ago)
(it was the babel fish that came up with "believs" instead of beliefs. they're not perfect translators)
ABoyNamedArt said, (37 days ago)
Perhaps -- and this isn't Sharon's fault at all, mind you -- it's that he may believe she's the "nurturing" type, and thus, more likely to listen to him vent. Not that that wouldn't hint at a whole other sort of issues for this cat, but it's a thought.
Sharon said, (37 days ago)
Yea, I know I like to give my pay stub when emailing people. If only I could give him a zero for first contact rating. DAMN YOU OKCUPID.

Wait, we're making fun of this guy?
I seriously read it thinking how inferior I am to him in every way.

J: Oh, most definitely. I like girls who take direct deposit.
Ok, for that crack, I apologize.
Sharon said, (37 days ago)
@Art - but don't you save that kind of shit until you at least KNOW the person. Hasn't he heard the adage you don't talk about your past relationships - let alone in the FIRST SENTENCE to a perfect stranger.
I really wish this was a clever joke. Like some awesome guy is totally fucking with me. Sadly, that's a suspension of disbelief I can't buy into.
ABoyNamedArt said, (37 days ago)
Sharon: Well, yeah, but it doesn't sound like dude had a lot of material to rely upon otherwise.
Unless you wanna hear about his latest raid with the guild or whatever ...
Jay Def said, (37 days ago)
I don't even know why he's looking for a girl right now anyway. The new expansion just came out, and he needs to get to 80 before his guild boots him.
ABoyNamedArt said, (37 days ago)
Would it be crazy to suggest he find a nice girl playing on his server?

Yeah, that sucks. Your ex left you for a *whole country*. My ex left me for Antarctica because she said she wanted space and really liked penguins.
erica said, (37 days ago)
Purl wins.
Also, I HATE this sort of message the most. "Here's a bunch of boring information about me that you should be able to glean from my profile, by the way, you could be any girl but I'm just pasting this into every text box and sending it to everyone within 10 miles of me."
Translation:
PLEEEEEEASE SLEEP WITH ME *SOB*
