While I have many vents about online dating, I would like to share just one of them right now. As more come along, I might add them.

Right now the biggest thing that irks me about online dating is when a guy (other ladies may do it too, I wouldn't know) connects to me by email or message through the dating site with a very obvious generic email. It is obvious that it is generic because it doesn't say my name, it doesn't ask questions, it sounds scripted (and like it is copied and pasted into many emails), and most importatnly it doesn't ever refer to MY profile! When I receive an obvious generic email I am tempted to tell the guy off. He needs to learn that sending out the same email to every girl he is interested in is not going to get him anywhere. Online dating tip numero uno: make the first email/message personal!

It really just baffles me how clueless guys really are.

Oh and I guess I also hate when profiles don't have a picture, are only partially filled out, are ridiculous (his favorite thing: being with you of course....PUH-LEASE!), are full of one liners/pick up lines.

Serious people that use online dating sites to look for REAL relationships take the time to fill out their profiles with appropriate information, choose quality pictures of themselves, and also take the time to send personal messages/emails, NOT GENERIC ONES that are used over and over again.

Okay. That's my vent for today.
