Reasons for Celibacy #376 -383: Lord's Pick // Giveaway Announcement!

And now, onto reasons number 376 through 383 for a straight single gal to avoid the dating swamps in favor of eternal celibacy. These ads represent the options. It doesn't get much worse. And yet, neither does it get much better. As usual, what's bolded is lifted directly from on-line dating forums.
My snarky comments follow. Please enjoy...from afar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REASON #376: HelloAsk me a thing you want
Okay, will you give me a nice, big, dark man or piece of chocolate?

REASON #377: You Down Enuff??? 
Any further down, sweetie, and I’ll see the Earth’s core or Uranus.

My favorite of this bunch:
REASON #378: I want the Lord pick the girl for me! 
Honey, the Lord undoubtedly has a high-speed Wifi connection, but I’m guessing the Almighty ain’t reading this ad.  Try increasing the font and see if that works!

REASON #379: looking for a fun girl country or other 
Well, “other” leaves the field wide open, so that’s a good strategy. As far as “fun girl country,” I’m thinking you’d do best to stick with the free world: US, Canada, or a Chippendales bachelorette party in the Swiss Alps.

REASON #380: Humble with a hint of Kanye
Dude, that’s like saying anorexic with a hint of Oprah, or civilized with a hint of Trump, or sexually desirable with a hint of Martha Stewart. It just doesn’t work.

REASON #381: i do not get the meet me,send mesge
i do not get it either, babe.

REASON #382: don't look to hard
Alas, that’s what I’ve been doing wrong! Whenever I look to hard, it goes soft. Thank you! You’re a genius!

REASON #383: Essentially Male
Does this mean you are marginally, practically, or secretly Female? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, sweetheart. We're all on the spectrum.

Keep a smile, my friends, as we enter a new month.

In February, our staff and crew like to collect as much Valentine's Hate as we're able. So we're sponsoring our annual Hate Love Sweet Package GIVEAWAY! The next string of posts will be dedicated to the GIVEAWAY.  Winner will receive a generous package of sweetness.

Rules: (1) Be a follower --of my blog, that is. (2) For the next week or so (I'll announce that here) submit in the comments section your best and most humorous hateful Valentine's message in UP TO AND NOT MORE THAN 50 WORDS. Flattery works for me, so don't hold back, BUT I'll put it up to public vote. I'll make the deciding vote, if needed. It's kinda your standard cooperative communistic dictatorship. Wink. (You like that, CW?) 

Ready, set, go!
Can't wait to read your entries.

Take care, dear sillies.

    You too?

    Oh, wait, that didn't sound right.
    BTW, this is NOT my entry. I'll need to ponder.

    1. I wonder how many of your entries will have Uranus in it, Al. Oh no, I should not encourage you. And when I read your poem I thought - oops, I didn't limit number of entries. But bring 'em on. Uranus and all! Don't hold back!

    1. Haha. Janie, you always make me laugh. The funniest part too, is often the fact that you simply end with "Love, Janie." You're the best.

  9. Your favourite should have written: "I want Jack Lord to pick the girl for me". OK he's dead, but wouldn't you trust him on dating advice?

    I'm noticing a Uranus theme in your musings, Robyn. I hope you're not thinking of exploring the dark planet. :)

    1. Oh no, GB. Thank you for your concern. It's just that CW and Al Penwasser like jokes about Uranus. As do I. I'll leave the exploration to others, though.

  10. We need to set up the hermaphrodite in #383 with #379 who sounds like he doesn't care if he's set up with an animal, vegetable or mineral.

    1. I don't hear good things about eHarmony, but that one is the most rigorous dating site out there, from what I hear. They all claim big successes. It's hard to believe when, yeah, they're a bunch of boobs.

  15. No, you don't want to see Uranus!
    Humble and Kanye should never be used in the same paragraph, let alone sentence.

    1. True, Alex. In fact, Kanye should never have been on planet Earth.

      Delete
  16. So does he want girls in the girl country or just whatever he sees first? Maybe the good Lord is too busy helping him to help the poor grammar dude.

  17. Your answer to "humble with a hint of Kanye" is INSPIRED! Love it!

    1. Why thank you, Debra. That one seemed to be the highlight (or lowlight). Smiles.

  18. I love when you do these "reasons" posts. Seriously funny!!! I am always amazed at what people write on these types of sites. It's more than the poor grammar. It's more about how convoluted their thinking is.

    Such as the case of wanting a humble with a hint of Kanye. What the hell does that look like? Loved your comment on that one.

    1. Thanks, Cheryl. That man couldn't hint at anything if he tried. He doesn't even know what the word means. I bet he's a Trump supporter too.

  19. "Whenever I look to hard, it goes soft." Everyone looked my way when I read that. Must've made some kind of snort or something.
    Nothing says, "Be mine" like a new vacuum cleaner! I'll try to work up some verse to say how I really feel.

  20. This is where I wish you had comments in the separate window so I didn't have to scroll back and forth...

    376- how about a big chocolate bunny, recarved in such a way as to resemble a man?

    377- More Uranus jokes? Oy!

    379- If you find that fun girl country, let me know. I'll move if it's legit!

    380- What? You nailed that one...

    381- How did this dude fill out the questionaire- and how did they read it if he did?

    382- You nailed that one even better! I hope you replied to him with that!

    383- Y'know, I do a lot of surveys, and I never have seen an "other" box under "Male" and "female".

    1. I'm going to check with you, when I can't think of a response. You're so quick witted, CW. I've never seen an "other" box either, and I've lived in some liberal places. Nor have I seen "Essentially Male."

    2. Um, both? J/K. It's dim. I mean quick. Quick witted, my decent redneck friend. You're very quick witted. =)

  21. Now I'm sitting here in the kitchen wondering if I've ever been down enuff and I don't know what it is. Can we expect this sort of ambiguous language to appear on lipid panels in future diagnostic centers? Ballots? Report cards? I feel so old!

    1. Me too, Geo. The amount of ads in search of a down womEn is appalling too. I'm kinda glad, though, that the stigma around depression seems to be lifting.

  27. Hi human, Robyn,

    Good thing that I'm not into time because if I was, I'd tell you I'm leaving you a comment at gone three in the morning. Arf!

    Ah yes, speaking of Kanye, that egotistical buffoon, headlined Glastonbury over here in England. He was total crap!

    Valentine's Day is a load of bollocks! Of course, in my human's case, the postal service has several truckloads of mail from all his adoring female fans on that pawticular day! Of course he does!

    Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses,

    Penny xx

    1. I imagine your hot, gorgeous, sought after human is flooded with Valentine's gifts, cards, and proposals on V-Day. Don't eat his chocolates, though. They might kill you. And I'm hoping to snag some when he's looking the other way.

      Hugs and cheer to you and your human.

  33. I wish some of these guys would just say what actually mean. "Looking for some fun country girl or other." Well, we all know that the dimwit thinks fun, country girl means one night stand who can't figure out how to use her phone to try and seriously date. Fun = easy. Country girl = dumber than me. Other = one night stand. No strings. Got it. That should ad should read, "Looking For One Night Stand with Female. Any Female. Don't expect dinner or me to pay for your cab ride home. This guy's cheap, but horny."
