Okay so I read what each person had to say about the date and clearly the woman is a massive cunt.

• She contradicts herself hardcore: she has low expectations about blind dating (probably as an excuse and self-fulfilling prophecy to avoid blame for the bad date) yet she also expects the person to Mr. Perfect.

• The dressage thing made want to shoot her in the face. Looks like she only cares about animals in a uppity way. I thought it was reasonable for the guy to be like, "well don't just ride to ride (and because you like horses)"? And you could imagine how uppity is for her reply to that.

• You're 59 years old and you act like a teenager by getting up and leaving without notice? Sounds really cuntish.

BTW, why is there a picture of the guy but not of the woman? I want to see how this self-described "intelligent and attractive" woman looks.

So this is her: image

I mean, seriously... going on looks alone, she's not out of that guy's league.

Worst date ever...probably when I awkwardly took my "first love" in middle school on a "date" to the local library, where we awkwardly sat and stared at each other, not exactly sure what to do on a date at the local library.  Needless to say, that was our one and only "date".

Second worst date was some girl I met online the summer after my college girlfriend dumped me.  When I met the girl she turned out to be morbidly obese and she wanted me to go hang out with her best friend (who was 16) and her best friend's boyfriend (who was in his late 30s) in his trailer.  NOT COOL.  I did not hit that, she had sharp knees.

Allons-y!

At least dates usually end quickly, especially if they really suck. When you hang out with someone for months, or even years, and when it ends they empty your bank account, throw your belongings out your bedroom window, or threaten you with death, you might just wish that she had walked out unannounced on your first date.

My worst date ever actually happened about a month ago. It was our fifth date and she was exhibiting increasingly questionable behavior but she was hot (ish) and we were nothing serious so I was letting it roll. Long story short she was texting me and posting on facebook things to the effect of "where the fuck are you" "and I cant believe you're doing this to me" while I was laying in a pool of my own blood outside and being carted off (no thanks to her) to the hospital.

I HAD HAD SEX WITH HUNTER S THOMPSON. HE CAME IN MY MOUTH AND I SWALLOWED IT. I SHOULD HAVE HAD HIS BABY. WE WOULD BE BALLIN' LIKE KOBE'S SON!!

My mom always warned me against girls who liked horseback-riding.

LingQ: the best place for learning languages.

Great stuff.  Seriously, she's just magnificent.  Bud, you got off easy.  And it didn't even cost you much more than cab fare...

My worst date was my second via Match.com.  Sweet girl, hell, h.o.t.  But when we got past sharing about NPR, Solzhenitsyn, and lobster, she gave me a moderately horrified look, and explained at some length that she could never date a Republican.

Needless to say, I did not ask if a hand job was out of the question.  I was young and impetuous, but not that silly.  I wish I had.

Her comments on my profile, for a while, focused on my alleged duplicity, having lead with NPR and being, in fact, a crass Conservative, obviously trolling for beaver and misrepresenting myself.  Yeah, her self-description as a compassionate, caring, sensitive individual was dead on.  

Other than that, my online dating experiences were universally wonderful and positive.  All but the last ended in failed relationships, but the last one makes up for all the rest.  Net result = positive.

But boy, the article is a beaut.  She's  probably a lot of fun when you're tall, thin, rich, and have a stable of stallions for her to cavort with.  Dressage would, in fact, probably be her favorite.  Any chance her real name is Maris?  Any surprise she would not use her real name?

Brilliant!
