So for the last year and a bit on this blog, I’ve written many many many posts bemoaning the sad state of affairs on the online dating website I frequent.
(Just click on the images if they’re too small to read.)
CRAZY ONE:
(Why should you get to know her – I am a very outgoing person, love my job, love meeting new people, I have a very good sense ofhumour and love it when people make me laugh. I have a very small heart but I have lots of love to give of course to the right person. I love cats and have 5.)
She has a small heart? Really? Do you think that means that she physically has a small heart. Is that a defect? It sounds dangerous. Dude, whatever you do, don’t go bungee jumping on your first date. The shock might be too much for her tiny little heart.
CRAZY TWO:
(Why should you get to know her – I am a 38 year old female, waiting 4 a divorce. Wish to have some one spoil and pamper me, some one who enjoys nature, animals. I want some one who can help me financially I am not coping with what I am making now. And need a helping hand occasionally. I want to get out of debt and go live in the bush, in a farm anywhere but here. Tired of party animals, want a genuine decent guy, who cares.)
Can anyone spell b.a.g.g.a.g.e? I think she has the full set. And not the Louis Vuiton kind either.
More than any of the other profiles this one made me the most curious. Are there men out there who would actually answer this ad? Sheesh, if there are maybe the men are more psycho than the chicks after all.
CRAZY THREE:
She’s a bit shy? Really? Maybe if the definition of shy is ‘racist and not scared to say exactly what she thinks’.
And she already has a boyfriend. Wait, I’m confused…
CRAZY FOUR:
Holy crap…Boy am I glad I’m a woman and married. Just a point on that first one – if this is a South African website and the first chicklet is Afrikaans-speaking, saying she has a ‘small heart’ means the opposite of what you would think – it means that she is loving, kind, generous etc. I think…
Hey, that’s interesting to know, i’m sure that’s what it is. is it a direct literal translation? what’s the afrik term?
ha….you found my 2 ex wives and 3 ex girlfriends in one hit…..detective work par none, and i want my cheetah back _itch!
It is indeed a literal translation. It usually goes something along the lines of “Hy/sy het so n klein hartjie” accompanied by a hand gesture indicating a size no man would want to refer to anything south of his heart…
Bwaahahahaha funny dummy. – blasts from the past eh?
Liquid – every day is a school day. never heard that one before. such a strange literal translation, meaning the opposite of what it’s trying to say. how strange and wonderful. gotta love language.
