Online "Dating" & A PODuct Review for L'Oreal Paris

Awhile back when I was bored (and still dating -- just kidding) I signed up for a well advertised online dating website, and now they are torturing me. I did not officially sign up because I am WAY not ready to date anyone. I filled out a bunch of forms and fact-filled tidbits, and unfortunately clicked "okay" and then, when it came time to pay the $500 bucks per month so I could start 'meeting my matches,' I balked. I have issues around trust (as one might imagine) transparent as one-ply...fall out from people vanishing without a trace.

I backed off the whole idea of this dating game. Though it's funny. You don't get to choose your age ranges. They choose them for you. So lately I get the emails where Orville or Wilbur would like to 'nudge' me to input a photo but that ain't gonna happen. My sister has tried to be encouraging, telling me that "sixty's not THAT old." I am 53. I have enough health issues of my own. One dead (haha!) give-away on this dating site is when the person says they are "thankful for their health" under What are the Three Things you are Thankful For?


I know because that's how I answered the question.

This morning I got an email from the system telling me my latest match is 72 years old, named Abraham. At his age he probably needs someone to help him tote his testicles. If my mom weren't with her man, I'd ask her if she wanted to date this guy.


Please read and comment on my L’Oréal Paris review. September is Ovarian cancer month and L’Oréal is contributing very graciously to ovarian cancer research.

You crack me up.
Too bad your mom is already involved with someone. Abraham sounds perfect (I wonder if he's got money? Nah, probably not - if he did, he wouldn't need an on-line dating service, would he?)

Abraham sounds like a catch!
Just think of the quality time you could spend together, enjoying his golden years.
Driving him to the doctor (daily), cutting his thick hoary toenails, grinding his food, changing his Depends, clipping the hair in his ears, rubbing in liniment... good times, good times.

That's so strange that you can't choose your age range...I mean, what if you want to go all cougar on some sweet young man?!? That's just discrimination, I say!

Just because there's some dust on the bottle doesn't mean it's no good inside :-)

POD said...

BL - I found out his name is not Abraham. It's Methuselah.


5th -- I was already clipping someone's ear hairs occasionally (not mine!)


Dr. J - I know all about dust on the bottle and people's innards. Still it's bad enough having to deal with my own ailments. ha!

Shelly, I think we're supposed to be cougary and I'm not so sure I fit that m.o.

Clipping (someone else's)nose hairs is worse....
(just had to throw that in there!)
