What A Joke

I signed into Lava this morning and got a notification that I have a new smile. Out loud I said, "I bet you're 47!"

I clicked on the smile, and it turns out he's 45. I laughed so hard I'm sure the neighbours heard me when I fell off my chair and onto the floor.

Honestly, I don't know why I keep banging my face against this brick wall called dating. I suppose it has something to do with needing material for this blog.

Bah. Back under the rock I go.

What's wrong with 45??

Paprika said...

I don't want to date someone who is 11 years old than me. Unless it's my former high school English teacher.

Dating an older man has been one of the best relationships I've ever had.

OK yes, maybe 45 and 11 years sounds kind of scary, but what if he's THE ONE. What if you guys have common interests and a common goal ie. marriage and children. What if he's 45 and single because like some others he's had his share of crazies in his life who fucked him over. I'm not telling you what to do, and if he's creepy or weird or looks like a Chewbacca or something, of course, hit the ignore button! But I hope you at least checked out his profile past the age entry. Take every opportunity that comes your way darling, you never know when love might find you.

I checked his profile and he doesn't have a public picture. Right off the bat, that tells me he's got something to hide. If he's not willing to show his face from the start, then I'm not interested. It's bullshit that Lava lets people hide their pictures. It's not like when you go to a bar you see people walking around with bags over their faces. And his profile said, "If only I knew how to attract attention on this site......it just alls seems so overwhelming. Any ideas?to say about myself. I'd hate to leave a bad first impression!" Um yeah, bad grammar and no picture make for an excellent first impression. Ladies, I love you but why are you all questioning my tastes?

You didn't explain anything about him, just his age. If a guy went to your profile after you smiled at him and he was 30, wouldn't you be upset if he was like 'ew I don't want to date someone older than me'. Age ain't nothin' but a number! Yes, no picture, bad grammar and an obvious lack of personality IS something you should pass on. We're just trying to say Be Open. Don't live in the land of No because it won't get you anywhere. We love you and we want you to be happy and find someone who treats you like the royalty you are - we don't care if he's 45 if he's a good person.
