Below is a snippet of a profile from a man who shall remain nameless, but who ‘liked’ my profile yesterday. I have no idea what that really achieves, other than to draw my attention to him, but I hopeful that the girls agree this sort of communication doesn’t require a response, because, well, look:
“Some things I like:
Movies. A few years ago I decided to see how many films I could see in a year. I didn’t go crazy – I mostly just watched films instead of watching telly in the evening. The total was somewhere between 150 and 200. (To clarify, he spent a year trying to see how many films he could watch, but forgot to count as he was going. Good use of time!)
Music. I especially like singers who don’t sing properly. I take my music in album form. I also really like watching cover bands. (Singers who don’t really sing?)
Stand-up comedy. I’ve been obsessed with comedy my whole like. I love going to shows and never tire of geeky analytical discussions. (Yep, because analytical discussion is what stand-up comedy is all about!)
People-watching. Look at his weird face. Stop, he’s seen us. (Great times.)
Cryptic crosswords. Yeah. (I think I’m supposed to be impressed here – either that, or I’ve misunderstood his slightly random use of the word ‘yeah’, which is more than likely).
I have got a horrible feeling that looking to find someone online is going to be a long draw out process. Maybe I should only ever check my account when drunk? That might give back the comedy edge that currently has been replaced with a creepy-uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach.
