Deleting a guy who proudly proclaims he has "1/2 inch gauged ears" -- I would reject Mr. Darcy himself (the Colin Firth one even) if he had gauged ears. Just thinking about it now makes me queasy...
...also he says "Books: Don't read books. they dont interest me really."
...also lists Transformers as one of his favorite movies.
...also is a very religious Christian.
...also we are a 38% match according to OKCupid, meaning "Y'all got issues"
I actually think this kid (he's 23) might be my least compatible match yet. That has to be a good sign right?
My first foray into the online dating world which is so frightening I simply had to blog about it.

Yes I really do mind
New Message (in its entirety): hi what color are your eyes if you dont mind me asking?
To make things weirder, Maia says that he messaged her with this exact same question a few days ago.
He is also another one who comes across as just too confrontational and aggressive (and not the best speller) in his profile:
I am very blunt person and always tells the truth, I don't lie and I don't play games so if your into that then don't massage me.

An Apparent Answer
The "phone pics" of the previous post are a real source of irritation for me, so I added that as a caveat to my You should message me if saying that you shouldn't message me if you have one of those pictures. I did this last night around the same time I wrote the blog. This morning I wake up to find this:
New Message: Don't hate on the bathroom mirror picture. It is required internet etiquette.
He has a picture of himself (with a shirt on which is the first time I think I've seen that in a "phone pic") taking a picture of himself with his phone in the bathroom mirror. This wasn't exactly what I was talking about as I have seen some where it is clearly someone else taking the picture of the person taking the picture of himself with his phone. Do not think I will write back to clarify my point. He lives in Indiana and his profile sounds a little too much like a country song for my taste (and I like country music so I know what I'm talking about):
I'm Tony. Recently turned 30, and one of two computer guys for a small company. I'm trying to quit smoking, drink, and own guns. If the latter is too much for you, just stop. Figured I'd go ahead and get that out of the way.
Persistence and humility with a touch of resolve pretty much iron me out. I am not one to back down from a tough challenge or progress-impeding-blockage. I'm usually the guy sitting at the table enjoying the conversation and fellowship, but when the time requires it, I can hold an audience.
I just recently visited Cedar Point. Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium Force was the absolute highlight of the summer! The only way to ride is with your hands up and feet off the floor of the front coaster car. Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Honestly, he does seem like a very nice guy -- we just would not be a match (for a lot of reasons).

Question
In all seriousness, why are there so many men who post pictures of themselves taking pictures of themselves with their phone? Honestly, I don't get it.
I believe you...
New Message: read my profile, it's no bullshit : )
From his profile Favorite books, movies, music and food:
I don't really have a favorite book, I don't get into reading.

If you are looking for a boy to be mean to you, do I have the boy for you...
Received a rather inconsequential message ("hey what's up?") from this 23 year old charmer:
My Self-Summary:
Hi. I'm Dan. I'm a smart ass and I exaggerate things for humor a lot of times. So if you're a crybaby and you can't accept yourself for who you are while having me make fun of you for it.. we probably wouldn't get along. Also I do talk about sex sometimes.. I think everyone does at one point or another.. so if you're like some massive immature child and you can't accept the facts of life then take your shit elsewhere.
Under I'm really good at he lists, "winning debates" -- could this guy be raising any more red flags?
