In today’s dating scene, websites and apps are more popular than ever. Dating sites are no longer for the older divorcee’s but for the young college student trying to meet new people. Over the last few weeks I have talked with my friends about their online dating experiences and have heard some real horror stories. With all of these people using the sites, it is unavoidable that you will come across some of these jerks online while searching for a compatible date. Below is a composition of some of the types of guys they’ve met while searching for love online.
The Liar: This is the guy that when he says he is 6 ft. tall, it actually means 5’6…but who has a measuring tape to tell the difference. His matching wind suit in his profile picture makes it extremely obvious that the photo was taken in 1996 and he is most likely out of his 20’s by now.
The Relationship Guy: This guy just wants to meet someone. Sometimes you feel bad because he literally thinks every girl could be the “one”. After the first phone call he is already picking out a ring and after you meet him for the first time, well…the deposit goes down for the hall. He doesn’t understand why you have been ignoring his messages and eventually block him, but he’ll get over it because he will meet another potential future wife next week.
The Sugar Daddy: This guy knows he is old and embraces it. He may be 45 but he likes to think he is still in his 20’s. His go-to, pick-up line is let me take you shopping…just EW.
The Pig: Aka The Asshole. This is the guy who in bold letters in his profile has posted don’t message me unless you’re a 10. Really? If you’re such a catch yourself why are you on this site? This guy isn’t even looking for a relationship, he’s looking for some arm candy…and some other stuff.
The Over-sharer: Before you have had a minute to message back he has already started to discuss his childhood in detail and has continued on to tell you exactly what he ate for breakfast this morning. This guy will tell you all of his best and worst qualities before you can even type in your name, at least he didn’t waste your time.
The Poor Soul: This is the guy that just can’t take a hint, maybe you went on one date or maybe you’ve never even responded to any of his messages, but his motto is quitting is for losers. You have to admire his dedication.
Stay tuned, next week I plan on writing about what types of girls that guys usually meet online!
