It's All Going to Come Out Eventually...

What I love about Man Whore is his honesty. He sets me straight in the ways of all things well...whorish. Maybe not to the extreme of 24-hour sexcapades (he can hope)but ideas of dating and relationships that fall into a cateogory all their own. Creeper status is what I call it. They should make a new Facebook choice for that one.

I knew a guy that was a creeper. If we're being completely honest, I LIKED a guy who was a creeper. Yes, blinded by infatuation I thought, oh, this is the age of meeting people online (which is true) but not by picking them out by their profile pic and sending them messages like, "Hey ma, wassup" like you're interested in anything they have to say. They don't have anything to say. They're on Facebook. You don't KNOW them. You just want to make new friends? Really? How come you never DM guys a 'wassup?'

However, much to my surprise MW said he's never met anyone on FB through that method but said that you can learn things about people's statuses and bios to maybe find something in common (sounds less creepy) and then bring it up into conversation should you ever meet them in person. Those are the key words right there - "meet them in person". I'm all for the online dating, but I wish people would act like they know what they're in for.

Man Whore goes into his online dating site with two thoughts: smash and dash. But at least he's honest about it. I think I'd have more respect for a guy that was upfront. Don't say 'I like you' like that's the new pick-up line. Because you just saw a photo, so what EXACTLY is it that you think you like? And for those who do sincerely want to meet someone to DATE and GET TO KNOW, then be honest about that too. Listening helps back that sentiment up.

Earnestness isn't the endearing quality it once was. People don't know how to handle sincerity anymore and a genuine compliment, fuggedabouit. We girls are on the defensive thinking you're trying to run game and you guys usually are! And, it's OK. Quit acting like it's something that it's not. We're all big boys and girls here. Because the truth comes out eventually, why not have it be right away?
