I’ve been on Match.com for four years, so you can imagine my success rate. I’ve had some truly awful dates, like these:
A girl who got drunk and cried (this happened twice, with two different women).
A girl who told me about her STD within the first 30 minutes. I appreciate her telling me, but the timing was terrible.
A girl who told me she was sexually abused as a child and then kept asking, "You're freaking out, right?" I was. Of course, I was.
A girl who texted through our entire date and then excitedly asked when we could hang out again.
A girl who referred to her mom as a "cunt." I have to admit, I was impressed. Her mom did sound like a twat.
But tonight’s date was the worst. The girl I was meeting was a college cheerleader. Her profile said she was cute, athletic, and "active," so I was looking forward to it.
When I got there, the person in front of me somewhat resembled her pictures, but there were some major discrepancies:
She wasn't 23; she was closer to 39.
She was about 75 pounds heavier than the college cheerleader in the pictures.
(I'm not a jerk; I’ve dated women of all sizes. I just want people to be honest.)
I had to make conversation with someone who looked like the person in the pictures after being stung by a thousand hornets. While I was nice and didn't mention it, all I could think was, "WHAT IS WITH THE FUCKING PICTURES, DUDE!?" Didn't she think I’d notice? Was she hoping I was blind?
Faced with having a conversation with a liar, I did what any decent, honest, and upstanding guy would do: I invented a fictional birthday party I had to get to. I finished my beer, paid for hers, and got out of there as fast as I could.
And who was the winner in all this? The hornets.

Apathy, no, it does not. I'm in the online dating world and I firmly believe in honesty first and foremost. I describe myself as "curvy". I'm a thick girl. I'm not a BBW, but curvy. The last thing I want is someone to be disappointed when they meet me. Bad start. I'd rather them be surprised because I'm way prettier in person (which I've been told...bonus points to that guy).
I've had some dating horror stories, as well. Guy with the worse hair I'd ever seen in real life, guy who was seven feet tall and got mad when I didn't eat more than he thought I should of my dinner, guy who invited me to a talent show he was judging and didn't physically talk to me all night cause he was busy...so many more.
It's not all bad, babe. Hang in there.

All I can say is that these people were obviously not for you!!
The online dating can be "soul destroying" if you let it... and you wonder why you are bothering half the time.
I used to hate most of the "dates" that I went on for exactly the same reason. It is a nightmare :P
