Jdate Men
I'm definitely asking for a lawsuit with this one, but I just can't resist...
Every time I go on Jdate (which hopefully won't be for much longer,) these two men are usually the first two that appear in my searches. Yes, they are both in my age and height range, but what the hell is this? At first I thought it was the same person, but their profiles seem to be quite different (one is from Arizona, and one is from Europe.) But what is the deal with the cheesy side angle? Maybe they think that they come across as more romantic, sensual, artisitc? What do you think, and more importantly, has anyone out there on Jdate met them?

They look like snippets from a Banana Republic catalog. I call bullshit, no straight man would seriously put those on his profile.

i'm DYING laughing. they're on my front page, too!!!! they're logged on 24/7 along with some guy whose profile says "hi, my name is alex and i'm constantly exploring". um, yeah, we see you're "exploring" while sitting on your ass cruising jdate. (his photo - by the way - is fake. it was from a peggy sirota print shoot - i saw it in her portfolio!) do you think these are fake profiles that were created by jdate to lure in women to join?

Ditto to Chris - those are so out of a catalog, though I'm hanging my hat on JCrew. As a Banana part-timer, our most recent ad campaigns have been relatively unattractive people. Oh, and a Jewish guy who is that cute doesn't need to be on JDate.
By the way, that same guy is on Philly's JDate.

Carrie Bradshaw called. She'd like to have her pathetic, self-delluded sense of self-importance back now, please.

Thank you mr./ms. anonymous. Clearly you must not be an avid reader or you would know that I struggle with relationships, have my own insecurities and understand the use of words just to make someone laugh. But go ahad and think what you want... and a happy new year to you too.

Fear not Debs, that comment could only have come from a bitter, scorned woman or a flamboyantly gay man trying to hide his sexuality from his overbearing mother.
And if you're going to mock someone, learn to spell. It's "deluded". And while we're at it, grow some balls, at least come up with a fake name for us to call you.

Chris et al,
Damn, I feel a little dumb. You are absolutely right. My spelling has always been atrocious. Not sure why it is; I’ve actually heard it is heredity. In any event, I do apologize, understanding sadly that my misspelling takes some of the punch out of my comments. I of course meant self-deluded. And oh yeah, still do.

Ha--they're always on mine, too! Must be jdate creations. And "self-deluded" is redundant still anonymous! Jessica

I've seen those guys. What losers. Love your blog. Have started a similar one of my own. JDate blows, at least in my town.
