I&#8217;m not gonna judge you for being on a dating site. I totally get it. It&#8217;s 2011 and you could just as easily meet a new friend via Twitter as you could at a bar. They&#8217;re probably more interesting, too. So, you signed up for OK Cupid. And as you looked around the various profiles, you realized: &#8220;These people are all here because they&#8217;re as progressive as I am! They&#8217;re not desperate or lonely! They&#8217;re here because they want to live a courageous, forward-thinking, future life! So being weird is ok, because they TOTALLY GET IT.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s called projection and, in this case, it&#8217;s not a good thing my friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A(n)nals of Online Dating, aside from trying a little too hard at a pun I&#8217;m not sure I get, does the internet the service of not just cataloging all the crappy messages, IMs, and profile excerpts out there, but gives them a performance review. With a point system and everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tumblr is required reading before any of you guys message someone on an online dating site. Right? Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[thanks branza]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/annalsofonlinedating.tumblr.com\/\">A(n)nals of Online Dating<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This hilarious blog catalogs all the crappy messages, IMs, and profile excerpts from the world of online dating.
