18 My clever, reasonably respectful response to an online dating profile inquiry from a woman who said she'll only meet someone who's gotten the poison stab. posted 3 years ago by Gandiva 3 years ago by Gandiva +19 / -1 11 comments share 11 comments share save hide report block hide replies
I would have just responded: “apparently we would not be a good match. I prefer women who are rational, intelligent, and can think for themselves as opposed to an automaton who simply parrots what they consume from the news media”.
Not bad.
“ while I am flattered that you are interested in me, it’s obvious that I have much better options. I wish you well!”
Much more eloquent!
Yeah. It seems odd to put that much effort into a response to someone who had just proven to be so incredibly stupid.
You did good. That's a response that could shake the cognitive dissonance a bit.
