I haven't given up. No. But, I am almost there. I am spending $20/month for people to open my emails, stare at my profile and move on. This beats the gym, as far as black holes where my money goes. This only reinforces my disdain for online dating.
I can appreciate profiles that are up front about what they want:
Contact me if...
"You're tall, dark and handsome and have a lot of money"
"You can handle me"
"You love Jesus more than life itself."
I am not tall, burn instead of tan, don't have a single picture where I am smiling and I like my life more than Jesus...in fact, I like a lot of things more than Jesus. I know this person is shallow and wouldn't be interested. So, I move on. It's necessary triage.
But, not something like this:
Contact me if...
"You want to"
"You are sane, want to have good conversations and want to go out"
"You are fun and want to have a good conversation over drinks."
These "contact requirements" are so vague that it gives the idea that they will give anyone the time of day. Most of the time, they will not. They will look at your profile, read your message, shrug and keep looking for the same feminine-looking, 6 ft tall, sensitive a**faces they have always wanted. Their own PBR-soaked, flannel wearing, going-nowhere hipster/indie movie paradise. F***king hell.
