Outstanding things people say in their profile

Wow. Somebody must be shooting stupidity rays from the planet Mongo. Here is another one.

"want to receive don't want to give"

[Chicup]

I've been skimming our local ones lately and my favorite was one that did their best to sound very educated, they obviously took out the thesaurus for it, yet made very common grammatical errors in many places. Whats worse is that they STRESSED how educated and sophisticated they were in the add.

Much like in literature, if the author isn't sophisticated, don't try to be something you are not and have no experience with.

Everybody tells me that I simply imagined this. But I would be ready to take an oath in a court of law that Fred Flintstone used to do cigarette advertisements. One that I remember vivdly was Fred asking the question. "What do you want, good grammar or good taste?" Of course, the answer in my juvenile mind was, and still is, good taste. The people who manufactured Winston cigarettes, as some of you might recall, used to advertise, "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should."

Wow! Even Wilma smoked. That part I did not remember. And the it's-what's-up-front-that-counts business. That's pretty suggestive. Thanks for looking this up. It's a great blast of nostalgia.

This station now returns you to regular programming -- looking up outstanding stuff that people say in their profiles.

My thanks to you too.

1950s? This revealing all too much about my real age.

"your only as old as the people you feel."

"It may not be very big around, but it sure is short" -- I use that line.

Just came across an ad that made me shake my head:

A married woman who openly admits that she is unhappy at home and is looking to cheat on her husband.......but if you are a married man looking to cheat then don't even think about contacting her!

I'm not a fan of cheating, but come on lady lol

[slevin]

Came across yet another good one:

"We have realized that we are wasting some of the best years of our lives in a relationship"

Wow! I think that statement sent me running away from their profile faster than any other I've come across!!

We almost had the opportunity to meet the couple with the above in their profile... instead they called late to say that they weren't coming becuase they didn't like the restaurant we were having dinner at and had (for some reason) thought we were meeting at a different restaurant... so since they didn't like that restaurant they wouldn't be coming. I got the message AFTER I saw them walk by the window of the restaurant evidently they ended up at the restaurant next door that they thought we were meeting at. And yes their message sounded every bit like the line above.

We weren't disappointed that they didn't show... and I don't think anyone else was either. In a way I was glad she called since I'd clearly seen them walk right by the window of the restaurant... on the other hand I'm glad they called as it showed us just what type of people they are not to bother inviting them again.

Sometimes you have to wonder how people function in normal society.
