Not sure if anyone noticed, but I haven't been on here much lately. I've become re-active since my absence, and I've messaged two people. I've noticed that the people that I've messaged have scoped out my profile, but haven't messaged me back.

Is it really too much trouble to say "hey, I got your message, but I don't think we'll work out as ______." Fill in the blank with "friends, lovers, what-have-you," but at least let me know that I'm not just wasting my time. I think it's rude and hypocritical when someone says "I'm nice and friendly" in their profile and then totally stiffs me. It'd be one thing if I wrote a form letter or made some stupid shallow remark, or a sexual advance. The guys who do that are creeps and should be ignored. Me, I just ask "hey, what are you into?" and I get cut off with the rest of the chaff.

Maybe I'll get some mail NEXT year...

I know this kind of thing varies from person to person, but this is the first time in my whole life I've actually tried to grow a beard of sorts. Opinions?

Anyone who happened to read my previous entry (before I deleted it) may have read the comment that my profile sucks.

I have taken this comment to heart, and so I open up the floor to you, my fellow OK-ers to give me feedback and please, politely and constructively tell me what I should change/keep/disregard.

I would very much like to meet Ms. Right here, and I've made a couple friends on this site, so I'm doing SOMETHING right. I just need to know what I'm doing wrong so I can fix it, rather than being constantly ignored and left to wither in anonymity and wallow in the misery of lonliness (my last post was very much a pity party).

My last post seemed to have gotten under the skin of one person. And according to the FCC one person is actually a billion people. So, to those billion, I apologize; I was in a funk.

Last night, I went to Dave & Busters to meet some people I met online. They're under 21, so I wasn't sure if they could get in. They show up an hour late (not D&B's fault, obviously), and call me to say "oh, we're at the bar." So, I go to get in, and they card me. The guy looks at my ID, then me, then my ID, then me...then he says "I need to call my manager."

So, fuckin' asshole manager comes over and says "sir, do you have a secondary ID, this does not look like you."

WTF! It's a fuckin' legit ID. My hair has grown and I shaved, but my basic facial features are the same. THEY DIDN'T EVEN CARD THE MINORS THEY LET IN AND THEY GAVE ME SHIT! This fucking asshole manager is the same fucking asshole manager who said my friend's power card had not been activated, when it still had some 22 dollars on it.

So, the manager asks for a secondary ID and I mutter "for fucks sake" very loudly, and he says "sir, there's no need to swear." I said "yes, there is." he said "no, there isn't. Our guys are doing their job, and we don't swear at you, so don't swear at us."

If I wasn't meeting people there, I would've said "Fuck you, give me back my fuckin' ID" and left.

Since I was, I clammed up, waited for the fucktard to give me back my ID, and cussed up a storm now, finally, inside.

Granted: Once inside, I got good service. As a restaurant, D&B's is top notch.

As a party place, they suck ass. My incident at the door is proof enough. 24 fuckin' years old and I get that kind of treatment! Their arcade games are kept in poor shape; my friend swiped his power card to play a game that had a broken gun. Their prizes are crappy and overpriced. Their booze is too fuckin' expensive, too, but that's everywhere.

So, fuck Dave & Busters. It's a shame a restaurant with good food is surrounded by so much shit. Don't take your date there, boycott the fuckers. I want to see them suffer and die (the company, not the innocent employees...and the manager, asshole).

Good thing I decided to update my profile. Turns out my status was listed as "Married" or "available." I don't know how the hell THAT happened, as I'm presently single and have never been married.

...that might explain why no one replies to my messages *LOL*

I was chatting with a nice young woman from OKC last night, and was introducing her to some of the more (or less) subtle aspects of my personality. I explained to her that I am a bit of a perv, in the sense that I enjoy innuendo. I tend to tone it down, because different people have a different threshold for that sort of banter.

That, apparently, makes me a rarity. She told me that the majority of the people that message her are older (40's 50's) men, who are propositioning for sex. Seriously, WTF? It's bad enough when I read so many profiles of nice girls looking for a fun guy, and they HAVE TO STIPULATE that they're not interested in "gross old men". So then these dorks have to go and hit on younger women who DON'T specify?

What is WRONG with you guys? Truly, you must lack common sense. The fact that the majority of my friend's IM's come from someone old enough to be her father is, in two words, messed up. What the hell makes you think these younger women are interested in you? It's guys like you that ruin it for decent men like me. That's right, you're guys, not MEN. You're mistaken to be men because you happen to be a male human. A real man would have respect for a woman when he talks to her, not just proposition her for sex like a common whore.

So go get your jollies somewhere else you turds, GTFO my internet, and let us decent men stand a chance, instead of inundating our prospects with your cruddy old spam.
