I gave it a go too
I sifted through hundreds of profiles to try and find out the few intelligent, non-vacuous, attractive, interesting girls that had ventured on (three), then sent out a few excruciatingly-carefully written short messages hoping to elicit a response. None came. Instead, I was the recipient of a decent handful of messages, in text speak with plenty of LOLs and Xs, from interesting-looking[1] "ladies" whose profiles boasted of their love of going out and getting pissed with their mates.

Is that about par for the course?

[1] I wanted to write "tear-inducingly pig-ugly", but you'd think I was a bad person.

Par for the course
Sounds familiar!

If it wasn't such a god awful prospect it'd be enough to turn me gay. Except I think I'd put with a munter first. Sorry if that sounds homophobic but I'm really struggling to find anyone of the opposite sex to tick all 3 criteria and giving up is starting to look a more sensible decision!

A particular favourite was a "woman" who messaged me and I took a look at her profile while at work as the guy who sits next to me has been trying too. She looked like Lionel Blair... on a racing bike. I kid you not. My mate glanced over and said "Who's he?". I try not to laugh at the profiles of other desperate lonely souls out there but one thing about that ladies profile just brought on the fits of giggles.... "Never been married.".

My date for this evening
is unmarried with no kids. She's a teacher, quite arty and sounds quite intelligent.

Unlike 'Mags' who also messaged me. She's 43, divorced, mother of 4, and lists her religion as 'spiritual' and her body type as 'curvy'. She has 3 cats. Good luck with that, love.

My date tomorrow night
Well point 3 is a definate no. I'm going to cling to point 1 (single) on the grounds she's nearly finalised her divorce and point 2.... well you can't have everything can you?

So in conclusion tomorrow night I have a date with a married, ugly, nut job. Shit.
