This column is a word-for-word transcript of an actual message received by Critic’s online dating profile. You can’t make this shit up.
Hey There, Am Dave!
Looking at your profile in general made me realise.. this Lady isnt some random woman one typically finds here.. she is one with much more charm.. elegance and fines.. and the least i can do is try my best to introduce myself.. hoping i get a chance to interact with her more.. and get a chance to know her better!! so well here is my attempt!!
I aint one of those typical creepy one’s who in their very first message to you would ask you to marry them or things they would like to do to you when you meet for a date!!
Well i joined this website.. actually to be able to find some good friends with a broader set of mind.. open to talk and in the process to explore and learn a thing or two about my ownself, and if nothing else be able to cherish a friendship.
I write the Culinary section of a Travel Magazine.. sounds fancy.. but trust me it isnt!!
I am here to find people with a good head on their shoulder.. someone who is selfmotivated and honest and be able to interact with them!
As mentioned on my profile! i am straight forward.. honest and unfortunately a person without a filter between my head and my mouth.. i some how fail to be able to speak politically correctly. (not sure if the grammar came out right here).
i am keen on being friends.. be able to converse with them.. and let see how things go..
Well, reading more about you, I really admire the way you think, and i mean it, its not something i say often!
All in all.. i am a simple bloke.. looking for smart people to be friends with.. and if you are keen to be one.. id be glad.. if you replied! i just really wanna get to know you better..!! and id appreciate a chance to that!! And in return i would love to be able to keep you stimulated intellectually. And if i crossed a line in anyway, i apologise
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Regard!!
