Banner Match Day.
It's a good thing that I have a healthy attitude about this whole Internet dating thing. I mean, I think it became very apparent this afternoon that I will most likely not be meeting my future husband via Match. Today has been a banner day. Let's see, where should I begin...
Why not start with the email I received from the 55 year old man. Yes, that's right. 55. Um, he could be my father. And, perhaps the most concerning aspect of said email was that his profile clearly stated that he was looking for women as young as the age of 21.
Then, of course, there was the wink I just received from the nice young gentleman who utilized his Virginia driver's license photo as his primary profile picture. How did I know this was the case? Well, could it be the hologram of the state of Virginia against the bright blue background?
Now, I know it can be challenging to post photos. Had it not been for the kindness of friends and the technical skills of Reluctant Dater, I would still have a profile sans photo. But, would it ever occur to me to utilize a driver's license photo? No. And, LBH, if you went to the trouble of scanning and posting a driver's license photo, couldn't you also scan in an alternative and non government issued photo?
Why am I doing this again? Oh, yes. Purely for entertainment purposes. Mine and, lucky for you, yours.

What is with all the creepy old men hitting on the younger (way younger) women? Every woman I have talked to and/or met who has a profile on match gets these, its downright embarassing..... Heck, as a 29 year-old man, I don't even really look at women below 24, there is just way to much disparity in experience/expectations/self-knowledge (yes I know its an overgeneralization, but that just seems like a good rule of thumb).
What's even creepier is old[er] men who live in states that are far far away...
That's the best when guys are looking for their age range starting at 18 and they are 45. There's just something so so so wrong with that.
