So, following the advice of some on here, I joined OKCupid. I have gotten maybe 2 responses. Sorry, three, but I don't know if this one counts. It was totally unsolicited and rather, um, odd. Enjoy! [I'm theartist4merly.]

Maybe it is because she can only see part of your head? I think "later" was an appropriate response ;0)

Well, I do think that picture makes you look a little...scary. First, you're not smiling. And second, your eyes are sort of bugging out because of the angle of the shot. (Now you think I'm saying you have bug eyes, but I'm not, see. It's just a bad angle.)

But I wouldn't pay her any more attention. Bad grammar.

Do you have any old pictures of you having fun with your friends on your facebook account or anything? I think those would be better pictures.

hollycomesalive

January 12, 2009 02:53 PM

you are handsome...and i didn't know serial killers had a specific look these days. some people are total wack jobs...i suggest if you go on a date with her you show up with clenched pepper spray in hand...

You need to get an ape to take your picture so your whole head is in the shot, or maybe I can just do a makeover for you. I'm thinking I'm doing a makeover! YAY!

Freaky Troll Stuffin'

January 12, 2009 02:55 PM

Ditto on the grammar ("as soon as i seen you"???). But certainly more entertaining than the married guys who contact me on dating sites. And hey, you got to tag your post with "serial killer" - what's not to like? Good luck!

Freaky, that makeover will be so easy. I think I'd look good with a new 'do.

January 12, 2009 05:23 PM

Oh good lorrrrd, what have I wrought with my good intentions???

Hmmmm....uhhh....at least you got a fun post out of it? **scampering away**

Sorry, I know cereal killers. You aren't a cereal killer.

Oh. Serial.

Never mind.

Happy belated birthday Chris.

I was really trying to come up with someone I know who might be a good match for you but obviously this girl is your soul mate so I'll just stop now. But for your wedding, I'm getting her a dictionary.

Change the photo. I don't know about serial killer but definitely potential lobotomy recoveree. Freaky has done a good job with your makeover though. You are so hot for having dated her ;-)

The cake and the kitties are going to be the clincher.

Run! Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction! And don't look back, seriously!

This is a hilarious exchange!

Just a little advice:

Free site = Bad quality.

If you are gonna play the personals...pay.

ok, that would be a chick not to go out with

Clearly the problem is not the picture but the fact that the HER uses "yah" instead of "yeah," which makes her either Norwegian or a slightly unhinged Valley girl.

Dorinda F.'s spot on: "later" is a hilarious response. If only you could have used an ominous font and had a smiley at the end of the line driving an unmarked white van.

Dude. She's psycho. She's ATTRACTED TO MEN WHO LOOK LIKE SERIAL KILLERS. Clear the text conversation. Back slowly away from her.

Myself, I think you are handsome but that picture makes you look a trifle, you know, *fey*.

I think the whole thing is hilarious, especially the pick up line from the title. She sounds like some 9 year old talking to her wild-eyed alcoholic uncle.

Have you ever been pepper-sprayed on a date? Could be fun... er... um... no, scratch that. Run! Run!

Thomas Horton

January 13, 2009 09:44 AM

HER: [...] as soon as i seen you

Uh oh.

SeattleK8

January 13, 2009 12:05 PM

Oh this is hilarious. Thanks for sharing. I agree with the commenters- the lady is cray cray! Good luck with your search.

For someone who is gone, Kalvin sure does talk a lot. Flouncer supreme.

I don't think you look like a serial killer in your photo because they look way more totally normal in a geeky kind of way. Think Ted Bundy. He could have been seen in your neighborhood with a backpack and on a bicycle handing out bibles. You don't look like that. Which is a good thing.

From your photo, I would have said that you were into taking black and white photography because your soul was too dark and brooding to allow color to come in. Sort of one of those moody, artistic types. Possibly also a Paladin in D&D. One who's also into elf bondage.

Look, on-line dating sucks. It's a lesson on the human condition which no one with a soul should take. Paid dating sites aren't really any better (and I'm saying this as someone who just joined chemistry.com and as an eharmony flunkie). They just get those of us who are willing to spend money to learn how totally undateable we are. Good luck.
