18. There's a difference between a guy who is lonely and some of her responses
Sat Jan 4, 2014, 10:43 PM
Jan 2014

I say this as a guy who couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a fistful of pardons and who has given up on finding love (note I don't blame women for this failing on my part).

But the guy who kept responding when she said she was a 14 year old is at best a dumbass. I have a friend who also uses OkCupid and she's gotten some responses that make me feel skeezy just hearing about them. For example the guy who went on for 10 paragraphs to tell her that she shouldn't have so many paragraphs in her profile because guys only care what she looks like. Oh and she should give up doing gymnastics because guys don't like physically strong women. Or the guy who told her that he was looking for somebody in the US to give him children because he wanted to get out of Pakistan. Granted yes, she tends to only share the bad stories rather than just the dates that didn't work out, but there's a lot of utterly scummy guys out there.
