The other day, the soundness of my still mind was abruptly interrupted when I took a glare at an online dating advertisement on television. I saw an older couple, comfortably holding each others hand, smiles glistening in the warm afternoon sun, tiny grains of sand brushing through the bareness of their feet. My eyes began to covet such a carefree life as if finding that significant other could be as easy as typing in what one prefers as a mate, and then the truth began to settle in. Is finding love the same as ordering a pair of shoes online? Do we thoroughly inspect the order we are placing to make sure that love isn't a battlefield? Was Pat Benatar correct?
There are only a few simple theories to summarize the true objective of online dating. My take on the online dating phenomenon is I see a bunch of self centered people who are not searching for their desired love, but that they are in love with themselves and demand people to enjoy the same things that they do. These are loveless individuals, drowning in narcissism, attempting to make a robotic slave to serve their own selfish needs. Whatever happened to opposites attract? What happened to the good old days when boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy and girl gets married? Now a days, the simple process turns distorted to: boy looks for girl, makes a list of of demands more specific than a middle eastern terrorist, boy wants girl to enjoy rock music, dirt bikes and lesbian threesomes, and boy determines if girl is worthy to meet his worthless needs.
Another topic relating to online dating is social network websites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. I notice that many of the American profiles, in fact most of the American profiles are set to private. I understand if you are an innocent ten year old, who has to hide themselves from filthy online perverts, but you are not, you are a gigantic ox with hair growing on your unmentionables. I mean seriously, your "chingaderas" down there are not formed out of a blood diamond, so stop acting like so many people want to stalk you! Now don't get me wrong, there are stalkers lurking in the shadows, but everyone now a days is a stalker? This remains more of an atrocity than the script at last nights critics awards. Now I began, with clarity, to see the painful similarity to online dating and private profiles.
The Uncompromisable Truth behind online dating is that people aspire to be a god. They believe in their minds that their body is made up of precious jewels and glistening gems. However, we here at The Uncompromisable Truth refer to these winners as a king. The general definition of a king is one who sits on a golden throne, demanding orders to be fulfilled to their desires, never satisfied with any outlook, and highly regarding themselves as a prize! So allow these four word to penetrate deep inside of your minds: YOUR NOT THAT GOOD! And that, my friends, is The Uncompromisable Truth.

Splendid! A very nice piece of writing. And a shrewd comment on the superficial nature of modern human relationships.
ReplyDeleteI've always made my FB profiles private because of potential employers or current employers. I'd die if they saw me bitching about work!
ReplyDeleteSome of the ads on Match were always so hilarious. Like you see a guy sitting on his Mercedes or a guy who names himself SurgeonLookingForLove - like people who obviously suck but think money will help bring them Ms. Perfect. Please.
Great post by the way!
Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing
Your post is very much right on, but there are exceptions. I have heard of a few tales in my life where they were successful, but yes, they are the minority.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ally, there are other reasons FB profiles, or parts of it, are private, like the pics that are on your wall, your lurid poems, and snide comments about your case manager who might actually look you up when he gets home...wouldn't do for him to read I called him a lying old fart. Ya know?
