Two wrongs make my night

I'm not very active on GMM these days, so I don't get winked very often. But the drought broke on Friday... although I kind of wish it hadn't. I looked up my winker's profile to see what kind of guy he was.

He listed himself as "attractive". After having a good look at his photos, I can fairly safely offer this advice to everyone writing a personal ad: not having any major physical disfigurements does NOT mean you're attractive!

He listed himself as "38". Many people tell little fibs about their age on GMM, but if you're 38, pal, then I'm 16.

He listed himself as "just a normal guy". But the face in the pictures suggested otherwise. You know how sometimes you can see right down deep into a person just from the way they hold themselves in photographs? His posture and expression spoke volumes about a life of self-delusion, denial and social disappointment.

So I sent him the templated 'Thanks, but no thanks' message.

Moments later I got a wink from someone else! Wow, two in one night! This new guy only had one photo... in which he wore one of those "I still live with my mother... who died in 1997" expressions.

Needless to say, he got the same response.
