Let me start off by saying that I don’t think there’s anything inherently sad or pathetic about online dating sites. I think it’s actually a pretty good idea, and a way to reach far more potential mates than you otherwise could. However, I would point out that like any collection of people admittedly “looking for love,” you’re probably going to find a disproportionately large percentage of shit to shinola. I heard someone talking about a fella she had been in contact with through one of these sites:
Really? You don’t know what it is? Because maybe, I mean perhaps, it’s the fact that most of the people on there, like any other group of human beings, is sort of a loser. Not only that, they are a lonely black hole of emotional need loser. I’m not saying that everyone who uses online date services is a loser, or even most of them; I’m merely saying that when Jethro69 with a profile pic sporting the “Git ‘er Done” ball cap starts acting a little needy and breathing heavily when you finally talk to them on the phone, you shouldn’t be surprised. That’s like wearing a t-shirt that says “Everybody Pon Farr” and then being shocked that the only people approaching you are creepy dudes wearing Star Trek uniforms. Incidentally, if you get that joke, you’re a big Star Trek nerd…like me, apparently. Here’s why it’s funny.
Also, check out my lovely Vulcan friend I drew here. I probably need to stop watching Trek reruns for awhile.

twice and they’re already professing their undying love.”
