Online Dating

So, in light of recent frustrations with the dating scene here in Los Angeles and seeing/hearing about the successes of online dating among friends, I thought I'd give it a shot. I decided to try LDS Mingle. Let me tell you that the online dating scene is a scary place. On mingle, generally the only guys that were messaging me were old guys from Utah. Like in their 40's. Here's a list of some of the gems I've "met" online:

• Jason. 22-year-old. Thought it was a bit young at first but then I'm like, well, I'm doing this online thing to be open minded. Emotionally unstable. Probably will be a wife abuser in the future. He would say things like, "I feel like you're building walls, hiding yourself from me" and then ignore me when I talked to him, tried to ask him questions, etc.
  
• Marvin. Hitler equivalent. This was the first person that made me feel like a bad person for being a social worker. Because I "help people that bruise their children." There was just a creepy quality to him. The reason I have him saved in my phone as "Hitler" is because he felt that since poor people obviously can't take care of their kids, they should just be sterilized. Because there is only one standard by which children should be raised, and that is his. Ugh.
• "Midas:" I didn't even going to bother looking at this guy's profile or learning his real first name. All I know is that he sent me a message with the subject: "I also bite the head off live chickens." In the body of the message was: "I like death metal and gangsta rap... hahaha just kidding. I bet you $107 you don't know what movie that "live chickens" line comes from." Did he think he was being witty? Clever? Edgy? Whatever, he was being stupid.

So, eventually I will start posting about things like my life, my job, etc. I have some good stories, let me tell you. Sorry I've been AWOL from the blogosphere, but I only have about 1.5 readers anyway.
