You are doing it all wrong....

If it weren't for online dating, I would literally sit at home doing nothing but watching stomach humping porn on HBO and eating myself in to oblivion thanks to my obsession with Callente's pizza.  

I always seem to get asked the question, "what brings you to this site?" Depending on my mood my response varies from, "I'm just seeing what's out there." (To which I am fully aware of what is out there, I mean I have literally gone out with 75% of the men in this city that I find attractive or intriguing.). "I don't get approached in public." (Again, either because of unintentional bitch face, I'm constantly surrounded my male friends who have strong personalities, or im drunk.. which most would think would be an easy way for me to meet people, however if you have had the pleasure to see me in a drunken state, the Shelby shit show could potentially make any straight man easily consider a sex change operation and be eternally terrified of women.)

Lately I have non chilantly been running in to men that I have gone out with in the past, which makes for a less than awakward experience and has added validity to my claim of dating 75% of "my type" of men in this city. Within 2 weeks I managed to run in one guy from my 2nd run at match.com at a pizza place.  I remembered him as the guy who literally got up during our mid coffee date, abruptly ending the conversation for no apparent reason, and just leaving. Not many people dumbfound me, hence why I remembered exactly who he was. I remember asking myself if I was getting punked and waited for Ashton to jump out from behind the plant at starbucks or something. 
As my friend and I stood there waiting for our pizza, which seemed like an eternity, because the guy and I were about 10 feet from each other and I had immediately recognized him, I channeled my inner childhood and brushed off my ventriloquist skills to non chilantly alert my friend as to what was going on. I caught him looking at me with that awkward "I know you from somewhere, but I can't figure it out." So naturally, I turned away from him to hide my ID badge, in efforts to maybe confuse him 1/10th of what he had done to me. 

There was another instance to which I ran in to another guy I ran into at my friends bday party at Cavo no more than less than a month later. This guy could of qualified as royalty in the douchebag family. He was the first guy I found myself liking after my break up. He seemed sweet, was my type (looks wise) and didn't smother me with questions in our conversations. When we met he was everything I expected and more.. until he tried to get a little handsy after our scare house date, to which I flat out told him I wasn't sleeping with him. Naturally that was the last I had heard from him until that night at Cavo. So when he walked up to me, I about a 6 on the drunk scale, somehow I channeled my inner drunken rainman and remembered who he was and I naturally called him out. Slurring my words I said to him, "oh yeah you are the douchebag that didn't call me because I didn't fuck you on our first date."  I then gave him a thumbs up with a cheesy, "if I throw a stick will you leave me alone" smile and walked away. His true nature shined as brightly as the sun when I watched him in the VIP section basically shoving alcohol down the throats of girls that their presence just screamed, "I have daddy/self esteem issues."  At that point I realized I had came out a winner, and watching him pathetically try to get girls drunk enough to take them home to bang them. Apparently having some sort of self respect for yourself is not the trending color or the season. 

Recently though, I have met some normal decent men, but unfortunately there is just no mutual spark or chemistry.  I havent had to throw a date in quite some time. Online however, I still manage to be the equavillant of freak fly paper. 

With that being said, I would like to share with you some people that just don't get the whole, "I'm just not that in to you" 

Dear Martin the Masterbater,
Wow, you certainly put the "master" in the word masterbation don't ya?  I bet loads of socially awkward men from the oceans of plenty of fish seek out your knowledge in the art of masterbaition...you are like the handy-llama.  "I'd tap that?" I'm glad you felt the need to compare me to a keg because even if I were to consume the 1982 ounces of beer that a 1/2 keg holds, I still wouldn't find you attractive.  If you can't even pick up the dirty laundry that is on the floor of the bedroom at your parents house that you have never moved out of, you clearly are incapiable of picking up a woman. 

Dear Pubey Pablo,
I'm glad that a legamite quality you seek in a soulmate depends on wether their vagina is sporting a playoff beard or looks like a Mexican hairless chihuahua.  I mean screw personality, looks or income, apparently the key attribute to a long lasting relationship in your 
mind is if the carpet matches the drapes or is a hardwood floor. It's hard to believe that someone as intellegent as you, with such a intellegent mind set is single.  Considering its winter, I'm single and you aren't even worth a 2 pack of razors at the dollar store, I'll let you visualize me singing the Indiana jones theme as i pretend to use my machete to hack through the jungle, knowing it's not at all for you. 



Dear Chatty Charlie,
No I do not want to go ice skating with you, hence why I didn't respond. I did block you, because you felt the need to constantly send me messages to which I never responded, hoping you would get the point that I was not interested, but instead you insisted on continuing to have a conversation with yourself. All because you got a new screen name, and found me again, still doesn't make me interested in you. It's not because you have a "beautiful" daughter that I will not go out with you. Fyi-Everyone thinks their child is beautiful, so playing that card won't work. I admire the notion of "Not taking no for an answer" when it comes  to thinks like: getting a refund for something that defective, fighting for your right to party, or working a customer service job that is commission based for up selling, but annoying someone in to even talking to you, is not a good way to start a relationship that only exsists in your head. It will be a good morning for me when I dont wake up to 60 messages  sent from you during this one sided conversation...




Dear Jerk Off Jim -
You should be proud of what your life has become. I mean really, I hope you wake up every day, take a shit, look down at it, and reflect on the similarities between that heaping pile of shit and what your life has become.  Sadily I'm sure your roomate is used to hearing the sounds of your sobbing coming from your empty bedroom, post ejactulation. I envision your bedroom like that of an 18 year old boy. Posters of half naked women probably cover the walls, playboys and hustlers tucked under your twin mattess that is on the floor and credit card bills piled on the desk next to your computer, including charges from pornhub 
and other various porn and live cam sites. I'm sure turning on a black light would result in your bedroom glowing so brightly that it could be seen from space, revealing what one would think that the great sperm massacre of 69' occurred there. It's probably a good thing that your sperm has not actually generated anything productive aside from just making your room as sticky as the floor at any given bar in the south side.  I hope after the 11th profile that you will need to create on Pof because the first 10 were unsuccessful, that you still don't find anyone stupid enough to allow you to procreate.  I truly hope you find a swallower.

Shelby Does Seaside Heights, NJ - Part 2 of 4

                Let  me first and foremost proudly say - I have never watched an episode of Jersey Shore in my life.  I honestly do not need to ever, considering every cast member has infiltrated my dreams thanks to Facebook, TMZ and People.com.  I once had a dream that myself, Snookie and J-wow hopped in a limo and went to GetGo because Snookie wanted a hot dog.  In another dream, Pauly D hand selected me out of a crowd to "compete for his affection" on his newest reality show.  I was even a member of the cast once, in my dream it was "Survivor - Jersey Shore edition," where I pushed "The Situation" off of a cliff.
                With all the hype of this damn TV show, and their styles being copied by 85% of the Pittsburgh 21-35 male and female population, I decided to see if the area that the show originated in was in fact nothing but juiced up Guido's with rock hard bodies, fo hawks, and spray tans that look as if they rolled around in a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos. 

                The results were shocking.  If you are an avid reader, it's quite clear that I have a slight obsession with Italian men, however the POF market in Seaside was quite normal.  I wasn't flooded with many shirtless mirror pics, or ridiculous messages, most of the messages were slightly awkward if that.  I almost did not get enough material to write this blog due to the normalcy of messages.  Maybe all Jersey guys aren't like the show? 

Here are some slightly awkward messages I received:

 38/M/Fairless Hills, PA

HEY THERE HOWS IT GOING? MY NAME IS SCOTT AND I AM SOMEWHAT NEW TO THIS SITE.. HAVE YOU HAD ANY LUCK ON THIS SITE. NO LUCK FOR ME YET BUT I AM ALSO NOT DESPERATE OR IN ANY TYPE OF RUSH .. I HAVE NOT SPENT MUCH TIME ON HERE EITHER THOUGH BUT FIGURED WHAT THE HECK AND SIGNED UP YOU NEVER KNOW ... I MUST SAY THAT YOU ARE SO CUTE BUT SO SEXY AT THE SAME TIME THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS !!!!



DEAR SCOTT -

                SINCE YOU FEEL THE NEED TO BUST A CAPS LOCK ON MY ASS, I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR.  NORMALLY WHEN A PERSON SAYS THEY AREN'T DESPERATE, THEY ARE.  I'M SURE YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT IN YOUR LIFE THAT IF YOU FIND AN UGLY DRUNK GIRL TO BANG, ITS  "TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM," AND NOT JUST BEING DESPERATE.   IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM AND ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALSO YOURSELF AS WELL.  I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 38 YEARS NOT TO BE IN A RUSH.  IF YOU ARE NEW TO ONLINE DATING AT THE AGE OF 38,  CLEARLY YOUR REAL LIFE PICK UP  SKILLS WILL REFLECT IN YOUR ONLINE PICK UP SKILLS, LEAVING YOU HOME ALONE EVERY NIGHT MASTERBAITING TO STOMACH HUMPING PORN.  CALLING A GIRL CUTE AND SEXY AT THE SAME TIME IS ABOUT AS LAME AS GETTING UNDERWEAR FOR XMAS.  HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANYONE CALL A BUNNY RABBIT CUTE AND SEXY?  NO.  CLEARLY YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE CUTE AND SEXY FALL ON THE MALE SCALE OF COMPLIMENTS.  YOUR BASICALLY CALLING ME A 5 AND AN 8 AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING ME A 6.5?  THATS NOT A COMPLIMENT, THAT IS AN INSULT.



35/M/Shamog, NY

you really like those boots huh. very cute. wait does that count about me talking
about body parts. can i have a do over. do you hang out at karma waiting for Pauly D
.

Dear Just Stop Talking

                Yes, I like my boots.  Do you really think I would spend a shit-ton of money on them in order for them to be fixtures on my bedroom floor?  Clearly you are an idiot considering you think boots are a body part. You cannot have a do-over, the damage has been done. Making a smart ass remark about a girls boots, is the equivalent of telling a small child you killed their imaginary friend, they will hate you forever. Does drinking the water in Jersey make you a total moron, or just a half ass?  I would rather join a convent in Zimbabwe than hang out Pauly D.  Do I look like the type to hang out with a guy that's going to endorse his terrible vodka and cheap sunless tanner while fist pumping to his own lame ass remix of a Britney Spears/Metallica Song, while he talks Ebonics saying "This Joint is Hot, Yo."  Where fist pumping was never cool, every time it happens I now feel like I am in a room full of potential murders, practicing stabbing people with air knives.   I'd much rather hang out with a "DJ" that has, oh what's that word...talent? 



29/M/Toms River, NY

we make 29 look goooood. agreed? also, we'd take such cute photo booth pictures together ;)

Ryan

Dear Rockin Ryan -

                The reason that you are single is because you broke cardinal rule #1 when it comes to talking to women - You mentioned age.  I do not need to be reminded that I am on the eve of a landmark birthday.  Chances are, I will remain 29 for the next 20 some years as long as my looks do not fade.  I may in fact lie the next time I go to the DMV and have them change my birthday to give me just a couple of more years. I do not need to be reminded that I am 29 and on a dating website.   Photo Booth pictures?  They still have those? We would take cute pictures!  You cheesing because you have a good looking 20 something girl on your arm, while I pretend  to hang, choke, slit my wrists and shoot myself.  Your vagina whispering skills clearly need work. 





32/Stafford Twp, NJ

Cara bella, cara mia bella!
Mia bambina, o ciel!
Ché la stimo…
Ché la stimo.
O cara mia, addio!

A change in the normal messages I am sure you get



Dear Mario:

                Where I appreciate your attempt to give me a non conventional message, I am struggling to understand what the hell you are saying.  I'm sure you have heard that the words of love translate in to any language, however I do not know what foreign language you are speaking.  Babblefish.com doesn't even know what language this is.  I'm going to guess its Italian w/ the bella and bambina, which are one of the few Italian words I know.  Isn't Carabella a fishing and hunting store?  Are you comparing me to a department store?  Really?  Your tactical approach isn't working.  If I wanted to listen to someone speak in tongues, I would much rather watch an exorcism.  You could potentially be mocking me right now, and only those fluent in Italian would be getting it right now.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some Italian men, but not the Nintendo Wii version's of Mario that speaks in absolute nonsense.



42/M/Margate City, NY

Would you date a great guy that is kinky and well endowed? LOL

Dear Sir Kinks-alot

                No....I would not.  You sound like a total skeeze bag.  I highly doubt you are a genuinely great guy, I'm sure it comes with a price.  Where, I appreciate you being up front and honest about your kinkyness and penis size, I feel there is something you need to know.  Were I am known to be quite the little gambler, I very rarely hit a jackpot when it comes to penis size in the sack.  So by eluding  that your penis is bigger than the size of a midgets thumb, I'm hardly not impressed.   I'm not sure what your idea of kinky is exactly, but I can probably guess it involves nipple electrocution and mushroom stamping.  Where I will be gladly willing to greet  you with my taser upon our first encounter, I will not let your "well endowed" wang anywhere near my forehead, stomach,  or leg for that matter.  I don't care if you have to duct tape it to your leg in fear of stepping on it when you walk, or look like you have a tripod in your pants.  I don't want something that you "think" is as big as an industrial vacuum hose anywhere near my kitty. 


In Conclusion:

                Seaside Heights POF is not overflowing with Jersey Shore wannabes.  There were actually more legitimate normal messages than weird ones.  I did get a shirtless mirror pic here and there with the occasional "hey, I just drank a protein shake and did 1000 push ups," look, but even those guys were polite when messaging.

                Unfortunately again, Pittsburgh men even the god awful Jersey Shore has more class than most of you Pittsburgh POF'ers.

The Receiving End of Craigslist

After my last blog about Craigslist, I got to thinking...I keep knocking these people who posted absolutely ridiculous posts, and it was such a one sided argument.  These sad people are putting themselves out there, with the hopes of finding someone that they can live happily ever after with.  Granted, you never know an individual's toleration levels for weirdness, which is why I decided to showcase the ones I felt qualified as "weird."  I decided to put myself in their shoes, and give it a try myself.   I posted the following ad on Craigslist with the hopes of proving myself correct in thinking that you truly do hit rock bottom searching for love on this site.

Just a normal girl - 28 (Pittsburgh, PA)

Hello! A little bit about me:

I am 28 years old. I have a good job, car, apartment, no children and I am
debt free.
I am 5'5, 130lbs, brown hair and brown eyes, Italian/Irish Mix.
I'd say I'm fairly normal. I have no crazy ex's, the only drama that has
happened in my life is via my friends, I'm not a stage 5 clinger and or
stalker. People tell me I'm funny, quick to think on my feet, attractive,
and likeable. As to why I'm single? Just haven't met anyone that gives me
that "wow" factor. I have a pic, if you would like to send one that's fine,
if not its cool too!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
 

I posted this ad on Craigslist on November 3rd at 11 p.m.  I was flagged for removal (due to me not responding.  I figured it out when some asshole emailed me 3 times, 2 of which were pretty pissy) at approximately 12:30 am on November 5th.  Here is an overview of the responses:


Total time on Craigslist personals - 25.5 hours on Craigslist before getting flagged for removal.

Number of email's received:  72

Number of pictures received: 30

Number of phone numbers received: 5

Men under the age of 25: 12

Men over the age of 35: 25



I never realized that there were so many lonely men in Pittsburgh.  Sadly enough, if I were planning on using this site as a dating option, chances are, out of those 72, based on pictures/grammar/initial conversation topics, at best I may have responded to about 5.  What I found probably the most hysterical, is receiving an email from a guy that I had actually gone out with from Plenty of Fish. 


After sifting through all of these emails, it was made quite clear to me that some of these men have not read my blog about the rules of online dating.  I was swimming in a sea of shirtless mirror pictures, "text pictures to my phone because it's easier," and the worst intro ever of "Hey, what's up."  Fortunately, I did manage to receive some rather interesting emails, that I would now like to gladly share with the rest of the world. 



Email #1:

I'm WM 5'7" 160lbs 35 and to be honest I'm looking for someone to watch a movie at home or go have a beer and and make out and body on body. If this interests you at all let me know.


Dear Body Bumper:

                    You are 35 years of age, and seem to have the mind set of an 18 year old.  Clearly you don't understand what a "wow" factor is.  Maybe if I could channel my 16 year old self, I would find excitement in watching a movie with you while you supply me with beer, because obviously you would not be wowing me, I would need the alcohol to be even remotely interested in hanging out.  I get the whole making out thing, however I don't understand the "body on body" part.  Are you saying that you want to dry hump? Last time I checked, which I'm sure has probably been a very long time since you have had any female interaction, body on body action is a prerequisite to making out.  I don't think Craigslist is for you.  May I suggest this?  "go have a beer," then stop down to Club Zoo.  You can gain all the liquid courage you need via the alcohol and then get some "body on body" action with girls that can relate to on your own maturity level.   



Email #2:

How are you today?  Liked what you had to say - you seem genuine to me - and yes - very normal!
I am a very good hearted guy with good values - good looking - so people tell me - I treat others right!!!
Looking for a fun and nice girl to take out on a date and see what happens.  you seem really nice.
I am 41 - is that too much older than you - I hope not!!!  I don't think so - I act young!!  Live in Jefferson Hills I do not know how to put a picture on the computer babe - I'm old
school.  I know - don't tell me - I need to get caught up with the times.  I need to get my sister to teach me.  I do know how to send a picture on the cell phone. Anyway, I would love to chat with you!!



Dear Mr. Technology Impaired

                    You should be prohibited from Craiglist, simply for your over usage of exclamation points and dashes. I'm 2 sentences in, and already irritated with the abusage of this punctuation.   I'm sure you are a good hearted guy, but the good looking part is debatable.  People probably say you're good looking, because they don't want to invoke the exclamation point/dash monster that not only spews from your typing skills, but probably out of your mouth as well.   You are 41 years old, messaging a 28 year old.  You were in your first year of college when I was in Kindergarten.  "I act young, however I don't know how to put a picture on a computer because I'm old school."  1. Don't call me babe, giving a girl a pet name that you don't know isn't "old school", 2. How is it that my parents are older than you are, and they are fully capable of sending email attachments/pictures?  You know how to send a picture via cell, yet not a computer...Did you sleep through the early part of 2000 and just awoke from your coma to the Smartphone era?  If your sister is technology savvy, she probably has friends.  You should ask her to hook you up. 



Email #3:



But are you real? I'll send a pic if I get a reply. I'm 29, fit, have a job, car my own place and a dog. Im white, brown hair green eyes. I go out almost every night With my friends. I'm looking for a gf that's fun and likes concerts and hanging out. Im pretty laid back. I live in the east end but can drive anywhere. I wanted to be single a while after dating but now I want to date again.And ifit doesn't work I might make a cool new friend. I had an awesome Halloween, how about you?

           

Dear Designated Driver:

                The first 4 sentences that you wrote sounded appealing which is why stopping there would of been the best solution.  You go out every night with your friends?  Wow you instantly scream "boyfriend material."  Clearly, if you go out with your friends every night, you are neglecting your dog.  If I dated you, is that what my life would be?  Staying up at night patiently waiting for you to come home so that I can get a little attention? Then if I'm a good girl that doesn't make a mess of the house, you will treat me to a concert?  Thank you for making me realize that by having a car, you can in fact go places with it.  All this time I thought a car was just a device that was used as lawn decorations.  "I wanted to be single a while after dating but now I want to date again."  I'm not exactly sure where you are going with this.  Maybe your dog sabotaged all of your dates on purpose to keep you home.  It's great that you want to get back out there and meet new people, but I have enough friends and have no intentions of adding any new ones to the roster any time soon. 



Email #4:

hey greetings and salutations I'm Josh. I was reading your post and thought u sounded pretty look I'm twenty six I'm six foot one 171 pounds hwp I'm pretty fit for the most part I'm a philosophy major. I love to read, the outdoors, movies, and music. I play and Wright music. but I make my mistakes like everyone I'm honest and open. I hope we get to chat hit me u here is abpic also



Dear Alien Boy:

                Greetings and Salutations to you too.  I am from the planet earth, where we greet people with a "Hi" or "Hello."  I sound pretty huh?  Well considering the description of myself was super vague, how do you know that I do not have an over sized nose, or missing teeth?  You tend to focus on the fact that you are hwp (which I had to look up and means height/weight proportional) and fit.  Sounds to me like you think I am hwp proportionate, instantly making me a 10 in your philosophical studies.   I think you may want to reconsider your major, because there is no rational explanation behind your thinking.  "I play and wright music."  Oh you "wright" music huh?  Have I heard anything you have composed?  Probably not considering your fan base isn't old enough to spell or understand words.  Oh, wait i'll let that slide, because you openly admitted in the next sentence that you make mistakes like everyone else.  You made it clear in your introduction that you clearly are not human, therefore you shouldn't make mistakes.  Maybe I'll see you around sometime, during the UFO festival in Kecksburg.



Email #5:


Hey Babe
Your post has caught your attention.I'm looking for memorable moments
Seems like we are looking for the same things
I'm looking for white young petite chick just like you to spend some time with and see where things go.I'm looking for somebody to help relieve stresses of life. In actuality it helps you too if you think about it.Must be clean and discreet and be open to anything I will treat you like gold and even make you feel special, but I don't want to talk about living together at least not yet but if you wanna stay over for weekends that is okay. We can go to concerts and have fun or travel. If you need something I will ensure you get it because I do want to help you if I can.I am not opposed to the idea of this companionship turning into something more over time.I'm a middle aged generous professional. Send me pic,# and your stats..I can take you places you never been before



Dear Mr. Discreet:

                I too am looking for memorable moments.  Moments that I can share with my friends, family and Facebook friends.  This may in fact be a memorable moment for me.  I am so glad that you emailed me putting everything out on the table, I like that in a man.  If you're looking to relieve stresses of life, consider a masseuse, it really does help when I think about it.  Maybe you can find one of those "special massage parlors" that are in fact open, clean and discreet.  I feel like I am getting a 2 for 1 deal, considering not only will you treat me like gold, but I get to feel special too?  I am a little offended that you will let me stay on weekends, but not during the weekdays.  Could this be because your wife goes away on weekends, leaving you all alone to fend for yourself?  I say let's take a family vacation.  Invite your kids and wife, and we can sit around and have a tea party and enjoy one awkward moment after another.  I bet your daughter and I would get along very well, considering we are probably the same age.  You can take me places I've never been before?  Or do you just want to take me places that you are too embarrassed to take your wife?  I don't think Craigslist is going to help find you a companion, but the humane society maybe?  Email the dog neglector above to find out where he got his from.



Email #6:

Sup lil mama how u?im a 6'3 35 blk male i 2 have a car a job,crib.lookin 4 someone real who can be my friend ,lover,homegirl,everything,and i can be everything 2 her



Dear  Big Poppa

                "Sup Lil Mama" is not an acceptable greeting.  I have worked very hard for the past 28 years to purposely not have someone call me "Mama."  When you refer that you have a crib, are you telling me you have an extra one available since you already think I'm a "Mama"  Were you planning on blending your family together with my imaginary one?   You sound like an Usher song.  I am disappointed at the fact that Ludacris did not jump out of my computer and start rapping at the end of your last line.  When I mentioned that I was pretty normal in my post, did it not dawn on you to possibly try to send a message that doesn't sound like  a recycled version of a song that was released in 2004.  If Lil John knew about this, you would only receive a "What!?" and not the "OK"


So in conclusion, I was "wright" all along.
