Soo, I'm starting to think that you can't meet quality people anywhere!! I think this online dating thing is a load of bullshit. Originally, I thought that perhaps it would be a good screening process for the weirdo's. But turns out that it's not as easy to screen out the psychos, momma's boys, liars and general freak shows as I thought it would be. I've actually started getting "hate mail" from guys that I don't respond to. OR, they will send me the same message, literally copied and pasted from the previous ones saying things like, "Hey, not sure if you got this message or not..." or, "Hi! Wanted to send this again to make sure you got it!" or, "Hello! I think something is wrong with my account. I don't think you got this message?" Uhhh, yes douche. I got it. I got this one along with the 14 others before it. I'm just not interested in talking to you. At all. Not even a little bit. So, I copied and pasted all 14 messages and replied, "YES, I got your message....all 14 of them. Thanks." Maybe now he'll get the picture.
I've actually gone out on a couple of dates, which isn't stellar considering that I have received over 500 messages. Pretty shitt odds; 2 out of 500. Where the fuck are the quality guys? I'm not asking for a lot here people. Simply someone who is of a decent age for me; 25-35 preferably, with a JOB. They don't have to make isane amounts of money...just one that pays their own fucking bills. I'm not looking to be someones sugar momma. Must have a drivers license. I'm not running a cab service here. They cannot live in their parents basement. It would actually be nice to meet someone who lives on their own...without 2 d-bag roommates who still act like they live in college and have beerbongs hanging on their kitchen wall. They must have a decent sense of fashion. No white sunglasses or Ed Hardy t-shirts. I'd like for them to be in shape....and no, round doesn't count as a shape. They have to take care of themselves. I do, so why would I want to be with some fat lazy bastard who would rather sit in a bean bag chair and eat Cheeto's while playing Wii? Get a life you fat ass. These are just basic, no brainer criteria. Is that really much to ask?!? I don't think so...
I have more to write, but it's going to have to wait!! Stay tuned..........

Skeptical Much?? Ahh, yeah....
Well ladies and gentlemen... This is my very FIRST official blog. Pretty sure it's been a long time coming, and I can assure you that I will have a multitude of very fascinating and hilarious stories to share with you all in the coming months! You will find that I am a woman with the lack of a filter, I say out loud what everyone else thinks in their heads. I will use this blog as an outlet to share my dating experiences and general details about my life as a single, dating mother.
A little about me: I am a 29 year old single mom of the most amazing 7 year old little girl on the face of the planet. I forgot what my life was like before her. I can honestly say that I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me mommy. And fortunately for me, becoming a mother has made me put my life, and exactly what I am looking for in a man into perspective. I know what she and I both deserve.
Now, with that being said... I've been divorced now for almost 7 years, but have always been "that girl" to be in a relationship; as dysfunctional as it may be. I've officially been totally SINGLE for a year now. My mom has recently become concerned with my dating status. She thinks that I have attracted the wrong men for too long, and rightfully so! I've dated the ones looking for a mommy, I've dated the ones that would rather sculpt their guns at the gym and have flex off's in the mirror with their buddies than have a normal sexual relationship with a woman, I've dated the ones whose idea of a good time is going to the bars like it was their jobs and thought that having "pants off dance off's" was attractive. I've dated guys who were grown ass men and still lived in their mothers basements because they felt that a career as a department store security guard was ambitious. I've dated a couple that thought it was appropriate to bone my best friend, or hook up with someone in the women's bathroom at a bar (keep in mind that I walked in on both of these incidents). Let me give you gentlemen a word of advice...if you are going to cheat on a woman, can you do us a little justice and fucking UPGRADE PLEASE!!! Lets not move down the totum pole, mmmkay? Let me just say that I have dated some real gems. If there is a complete and total douchebag within a 500 mile radius, you bet your sweet ass I'm attracted to him.
Which brings me to my present situation. My sweet, sweet mother worries that I'm going to end up being that middle aged woman who sits at home and collects cats, or I will end up a Cougar. So she suggested that I get out of my comfort zone and join a dating website. Now, if any of you are anything like me, you have a stereotype of the dating websites. My particular stereotype was that people on said websites were lonely, miserable, unattractive freakshows. But I figured what the hell!! If anything, it will give my friends and I something to make fun of on our girls nights out while we are beating off Ed Hardy; Affliction; Tap Out shirt wearing douchebags at the bar with sticks. So, I opened up a profile. I won't mention which dating website...lets keep a little autonomy here, shall we? So I posted some pics, wrote up a little "about me" to include my interests, what I was looking for in a man, physical requirements (because I AM a superficial bitch), age requirements (25-35), etc. On this particular site, members can show interest by "winking" sending messages, or selecting whether or not they are interested in a pre-selected "daily 5". Within one week, I had over 100 messages, a shit ton of winks and interests. I was like, "Holy shit!! There has to be SOMEONE who will strike my interest!!" Ahh, not so much. Talk about fucking b-o-r-i-n-g. Generic, vanilla, white bread, boring ass messages. "Hi, I saw your profile. You are beautiful. Lets chat sometime." "Hellooo! We seem to have a lot in common. I'd like to learn more." "Hey Chamby! I like what you wrote. You seem very interesting." Oh My God. Can you fellas please be a little more creative? Do/say something to get my attention. Not to mention the fact that over half of them were old enough to be my dad. Thanks, but absolutely no freaking way. Old balls. Gross. CLEARLY I posted my age requirements. 25-35. I didn't say 22-55. Not only are you entirely too old for me, but obviously you don't know how to read either. Good one. I did end up meeting a couple guys face to face, but no one that really, really peaked my interest.
THEN...I get a message from Chief Captain Looney Tunes himself. Pretty sure that the hot-mess express rolled right into my inbox on March 22nd. The following is a string of messages I got from this trainwreck. Let me preface this by saying that not once, even a single time, did I respond to this weirdo. This is basically a string of messages of him talking to himself....please enjoy....
