OKCupid Catastrophes: Kristyn's story and some interesting emails

It's Wednesday, which means it's time for our weekly schadenfreude: laughing at other people who have had horrible online dating experiences. This time, you can laugh at me!

Before we tell my story of this week, you should all go read Kristyn's blog.

Kristyn met her boyfriend on OKC, and although she had to be a little forward in making all of the moves, it worked out well for her. In fact, not only have they been dating a few years, he proposed last week! Go here to watch the sweet video he made her and read about the engagement. Congratulations, Kristyn!

As for me, well, I'm not nearly as lucky as Kristyn. Nope. Apparently my bossiness doesn't come across in my profile, 'cuz I've had two men email me similar things:

I didn't save the first email, but it was from a lovely man named BondageJoe2 ('cuz apparently "BondageJoe" was taken), who asked for my, um, willingness to jump into bed with him. 

And then, from a MisterDominant, I received this: "youre very pretty...I am a Dominant in BDSM...would you be interested in learning BDSM."

Then I tried to give him an easy out ("I don't follow directions well, but hope you find what you're looking for," 'cuz I'm nice like that) and he responded with "You're a sweet woman. You maybe sassy and have problems taking orders, but what new slave doesn't have these things? I think you have the abilities to be the hottest woman. I interested in you. Thanks.

Say it with me: What the hell?!

So that happened (and now, I'm guessing the search terms for finding my blog this week are going to be interesting). I also received a rather weird email from a man named Greg that said, "Just wanted to let you know how, in my eyes, you are an effortless breathtaking woman!" Thanks bro, but that's a little too forward, although thanks for not asking to dominate me like Joe and MisterCreepo.

Got any good online dating stories?! Email me to be featured, or leave your info in a comment! To read the full series of OKCupid Catastrophes, go here! Also, a friend pointed out this Tumblr about interesting OKC emails if you get bored!

Bahaha, apparently some people thing ALL women want to be the real life Ana & Christian Grey. Wowza.

I have to give them credit for being straight forward but come one homeboys, this is just too much.

Amanda Arr said...

Lin beat me to it. Yup, men are reading too much into the "50 Shades of Grey" stuff. Gross (and the racy parts of that book couldn't keep my interest because it was so poorly written).

Okay so this makes me laugh! Like seriously, do some guys NOT read what they say before they write it? Do not call me beautiful the first time you are writing and DO NOT just say "Hey" or "Hey What's Up" I will NOT reply. And those messages...you poor thing :( after I read your blog the other day I decided to reactivate my POF account and may sign up for OKC tonight...so far...ehh! Oh except for the one guy who emailed me and said he has a 4 month old son, but no baby mama drama...UM why are you trying to get a gf 4 months after you had a son....YIKES!

Melissa Nelson said...

Christian Grey FAIL lol

Alexis [Living the WifeStyle] said...

How scary are those first two e-mails?! I'd say it's still worth sticking with just for the funny stories you have for us!

my good gracious, sar. too bad these guys can't check a box in their profile that says, "i am a creeptastic weirdo."

what in the world does BDSM mean??

Sara said...

Bwahahaha..... all of the comments above beat me to it, but, seriously, is BDSM the new wonder of men who are Christain Grey wannabe's?

Ditto on Melissa's comment...definitely a Christian Grey FAIL!

These guys obviously are creep-tastic, but they have good taste... even if they don't know what an adverb is. :)

stephanie a. orefice said...

normally i just troll along quietly reading these, but i'm jumping out of the shadows to say that is freaking creepy and disgusting and what's even worse is... what if sometimes they get favorable responses? holy crap.

:O

ArmyWifeLiz said...

Oh wow!!!! Just... No words! Hey do you remember when we used to have Friday lunches together? I miss those day... ;)

Lora Ashley said...

I have been enjoying that okweirdo site you shared for the last hour.
Oh my goodness.
Online dating is the pits.
But it provides for some great entertainment!

Mills said...

That's nuts! Sounds like that guy took a page out of 50 Shades of Grey and tried to roll with it. Good luck next time ~

Casey said...

HA!!! Oh 50 Shades, what have you inspired?

Rainey said...

Oh my goodness, how creepy!!! That's so, so bad.

Faison said...

Oh my gosh, those guys are c-r-e-e-p-y!! I know it was said above already, but this is truly an epic Christian Grey fail!

Ech and Will said...

Oh wow! It's so scary that guys think it's okay to be that freakishly forward without testing the waters first.

Michelle said...

Let me just get this out of the way real quick: schadenfreude is thes best word ever.

Moving on.


OHMYGAWD. I can't even handle that! What kind of creeps?!?! HA! I love these stories so much!
