What's your age again?

Hi y'all! I'm back already with another lovely dating story for today! Tonight I went out with a dude that I've been talking to for a few weeks now and I was legit looking forward to this date. I had it all played out in my head that this was gonna be my last first date (for awhile anyways, let's be realistic lol) and that we were going to enjoy all these cool things that he had alluded to in our messages etc... This is not going to be the case y'all. He shows up, looking nice but also a good 5 years older than he said he was. Really? Did he honestly think I wasn't going to notice this?? I'm all about dating older guys, but he's closer to 50 than I am to 40. In addition to him not being the age he claimed to be, he was also not the height he claimed to be. I think i've covered this in a previous post and honestly, I'll probably say something about it again in a future post since it seems to be a common thread in online dating. My profile is 100% true, up to date, and real. I don't think it's too much to ask that these guys I'm trying to date do the same thing. Ya feel me? I don't have any other dates lined up for the weekend but you never know what might happen! Maybe I'll do some throwback posts about guys I dated when I first started online dating. Have a fun weekend, y'all!

Tweet Tweet!

I'm now officially on Twitter! I'll be posting longer dating stories here and possibly little bits of them on there or all the dumb one-liners I get online. Follow me @sotiredofdating 

Wait...you want me to pay after you just unloaded all your custody issues on me?

Hey y'all it's been a minute since I've posted. Mostly because life got in the way but also because I was lazy and didn't have it in me to come up with witty posts lol. At least I'm honest right? So today's dating entry is about a fella I met on Match. I joined up not too long ago thinking that if the guys were also paying for it they'd take it more seriously right? So far this is my 3rd person to go on a date with from this site and so far, I'm still single. I'll fill you in on the other dudes later in another post. For the sake of anonymity I'm going to name this bloke "Shawn". So, Shawn and I have been talking for probably just under 2 weeks. He messaged me first on Match and I was pretty interested based on what he had in his profile. I wasn't totally attracted to him but when you get to be my age you kinda don't care as much about that stuff as you did in your 20's. We moved from Match to texting and y'all, this fool texts me ALL THE TIME so you would think he was interested right? He proceeds to ask me out for a lunch date which is not normal but it's summer, so why not? We meet for lunch and thank goodness he looks like himself minus this big ass bump on his eye that I CANNOT stop looking at lol. Anyways, lunch is going ok...he's drinking a lot of beer (I only had 2), he's talking nonstop mostly about him and then he gets to the part where he wants to share with me about his divorce and custody issues. Y'all, I don't mind dating a dude who's been divorced and I don't mind dating a dude who has offspring BUT I do not care to hear about all that shit on a first date. To top it all off, this mother effer has me pay for my own meal. I can afford my own food, that's not the point. If you can't afford to date, then you shouldn't be dating. I get SO tired of these guys asking me out and then not wanting to pay. It just sends a message that you're either 1) not interested in me or 2) you can't afford to buy me a couple beers and sandwich...either way, I'm out. There will not be a 2nd date with Shawn. The good news is, I have another date tonight with a different guy and maybe I'll be posting something good about him later? I really need to post about all the other dumb dates I've been on since my last post in March. I'm just tired y'all. Dating in the 21st century blows. See ya next post!

Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Good morning!! I'm sure if you're on online dating like I am, you get a sundry of "compliments" on a regular basis. I just wanted to share a quick post about a few that I've gotten lately that I thought were really funny, and/or annoying!

• Guy: You look like the Queen

          Me: No...she's 90. I don't look like her at all. (I'm in my mid 30's for the record)
         
          Guy: Well, you are prettier

• Guy: You're really beautiful (his profile says he wants a relationship btw)

          Me: Awww thank you so much! How are you today?

          Guy: Wanna F**k?

          Me:

• Guy:  Your eyes shine brighter than the Sun on Neptune. I could look into them and get lost for years.

         Me (to myself): I'm clearly not answering this crazy. I'll probably end up tied up in his shed. 

• Guy: hi your really pretty and my name is greg* and i think we have alot in common and do you like to fish drink beer eat tacos?

         Me (also to myself): Not answering this because you clearly don't believe in punctuation "greg".  For the record, I do like to fish, drink beer and eat tacos lol

There are so many more that I could type but I'm out of time.  I'll do a Part II at a later date! Dating is super fun!!

Hookup Culture?

Hey everyone, I took a break from dating on the swiping apps for a bit and thought I'd try out one with more "substance". Believe it or not, it wasn't much better than the apps. I will say that the quality of guys I was matched with was better, however, they match you with tons of people who aren't paying subscribers and therefore, cannot reply to your messages you send them. After my 3 month subscription ended I thought I'd give the others another shot only to be sorely disappointed yet again. Look, I'm all about sex. I love sex. I think lots of sex is great, HOWEVER, I do not think lots of sex with random strangers you've been talking to on an app for a whole 5 minutes is good. Why is ok for a guy to send me a message and ask if he can, and I quote, "come over and give me his fat cock tonight" ok? All I did was swipe right, say hello, and that's the immediate response I get. All you stupid girls who say "oh yes, that sounds fantastic" to these douchey guys are the reason nice girls like me can't find a decent one. They all think that everyone is dtf 24/7, with any random Joe that says he wants to. Stop it. Seriously, you're not only doing a disservice to yourself but you're ruining it for the rest of us. And guys, you're not getting off the hook. Just because one bimbo said yes that one fateful night does not give you the right to hit every chick up on that app for a pic of their tits and blowie. Get over yourself, it's probably not as "fat" as you think it is anyways. We have to stop this hookup culture now or we are all going to be STD riddled, single senior citizens chilling in a nursing home later on in life. Go on real dates where you get to know someone...then go on another date and another date and ANOTHER FREAKING DATE with that person until you've developed a connection. Then, if you decide you want to have sex...have sex. Have lots of sex, but just have sex with that one person and be an ADULT in a COMMITTED relationship. Rant over. Have a great weekend and I'll post some actual date stories later!

Deal Breakers?

So, I recently joined a dating site that you actually have to pay for rather than just swiping left and right on people who are mainly just looking for sex while they're "in town" for business. Anyways, I joined this site thinking that my chances of finding someone who legitimately had the same interests relationship wise were higher and so far I've been pleased with my matches, but I have an issue with how some of these guys choose their deal breakers. It's a process once you match with someone. First you send them 5 multiple choice questions, then you send "make or breaks", then three questions they actually type an answer to and the final step is emailing one another. I've gotten to the make or break portion a few times and it really irks me that these guys who are overweight, select "excessive overweight" as one of their breaks. Ummm hello? You're fat too. So these guys can be overweight and mostly unattractive but they want a Barbie doll? I realize that excessive overweight is different than just kinda overweight but I still think that if you're overweight at all, that should not be one of your deal breakers. That's all for now :)

Put a Baby in Me?

Listen y'all, I'm all about procreation and one of these days I would love nothing more than to have a mini Ginger running around but, messaging me on the dating app and telling me that you would like to have a baby with me is a little creepy. I mean come on, at least buy me dinner and LOTS of drinks first before you sweep in with that comment. Yes, I am of the age where having children is appealing but it is not appealing to have you repeatedly message me and tell me that we would make pretty babies together. Umm hello? Obviously they'd be pretty...they'd be part me! Haha jk ;) but seriously, ease up dudes. No ladies, except ones just after your money, wanna hear this lame ass pick up line. Move along.
