"Ugh, you guys. I am so over online dating at the moment, and let me tell you one of the reasons why.\nPinterestFacebookHere&amp;#39;s the deal: you&amp;#39;ve heard me complain about other online dating issues, like creepy messages and getting asked out by the exact same guys that are asking out my friends, amongst other things. But just when I think I&amp;#39;ve seen every annoying pattern out there,a new annoyance pops up. This is the latest...\nWhile I don&amp;#39;t want an epic novel from someone I don&amp;#39;t even know, it seems to me that the guys in the online datemosphere are taking it to the opposite extreme. Messages are getting shorter and shorter, culminating in a message composed of two letters. For real. It&amp;#39;s so lazy and impersonal I could scream!\nHere are some actual messages I&amp;#39;ve received, in descending order of length, and what I think of them. Usernames redacted to protect the senders, even though I&amp;#39;m not sure they deserve it:\nPinterestFacebookAside from the brevity of this message, which I find offensive, I&amp;#39;m pretty sure that if someone thinks &amp;quot;interesting&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; don&amp;#39;t usually go together, he&amp;#39;s not the guy for me.\nPinterestFacebookWell, you&amp;#39;re welcome, I guess. Unfortunately, you didn&amp;#39;t make me want to start a conversation with you.\nPinterestFacebookUh, H there yourself pal. If you&amp;#39;re only going to make a three-word message, perhaps you could make sure to at least include all the necessary letters? K thanks.\nPinterestFacebookNo. I just can&amp;#39;t. Two letters is all the effort you can make to get to know me? Nope. &amp;quot;Hi&amp;quot; is the drunken text you send to your ex-boyfriend at 1 a.m. to see if he happens to be in the neighborhood and up for some ill-advised making out. Not a new person you&amp;#39;re trying to woo. Go away.\nGahhhh! Does anyone else have this happen to them? Do you find it annoying? I think I have a three sentence minimum rule in order for me to respond. Is that fair??\nMore online ughs:\nOnline Dating: Two Examples of Why the &amp;quot;Visitors to Your Profile&amp;quot; Function Just Gets Everybody in Trouble\nA Downfall of Online Dating: I&amp;#39;m Guilty of Having Too Many Insta-Dealbreakers!
