LOL, Ryan!!
I just had to show you these from posts written last summer--thought you would get a kick out of them:
from bob:
Anyway, it makes me wonder ... what would my personal ad look like if I focused on what I'm scared is the "real me" -- Mr. Depressed-since-he-was-eight-and-still-counting -- instead of how I want to portray myself .... That could be a good way of learning to laugh at myself.... ;^)
and my response to him:
The idea of full disclosure has aroused the cynic in me. So, let's start a "totally honest online dating personal ad" thread....it could go something like this:
Depressed and lonely woman, somewhat fatigued and rundown, isolates self for entire weekends, Goes days without bathing or eating anything but microwave popcorn because there is nothing else in the house and it's too much effort to go outside. Hates to clean and do laundry and can barely get out of bed in the morning. Has difficulty enjoying much of anything. Intelligent but unmotivated...in search of attractive, intelligent, healthy fit, well adjusted, financially secure, open-minded, happy, emotionally aware but not needy man who loves life and will love me and will run out to the store for last minute refills on my prescriptions when needed, and most of all, will make me feel wonderful.
Yeah right.
