I
watch the dating site commercial on TV. These
days,
so many folks are wanting to date and find
a
mate electronically. I am old and worn, and
although
these 60-second spots are amusing to
watch,
this media for matching the needy is not
for
me. Who in the world would find a toothless,
unkempt
curmudgeon such as I have grown to be
as
either attractive or appealing? My better dating
and
mating days have long since been relegated
to
the trash heap of unwritten history. I am no
longer
a wan-na-be, but a crusty and dribbling
old
use-ta-be. However, on occasion I still do
respond
to certain stimuli instinctively—The young
woman
featured on Match.com who implores pro-
spective
seekers to, “Come find me!” has enticing
eyes
and a beguiling smile to be sure. But in my time,
I
have met her type a hundred times before. In a
crude
but sagacious l way, I am grateful that I have
seen
my best and worst days in the topsy-turvey
dating
and mating game. Someone out there is
bound
to find that young lady, though. And should you
be
tempted to reply on line, heed this warning, my
friend—steer
clear and for god’s sake, stay away.
Years
ago, I believe I may have dated this aluring
creature
before. It’s truly amazing what they can do
with
CGI, a little makeup and plastic surgery these days.
