Hey eHarmony, Chemistry.com, Match.com.. get a clue! People need jobs before they can go on dates!
I hate these bastards. It's bad enough that I don't have a job right now and they've got to remind me I don't have a love life either? I hate this Valentine's Day Crap. It was bad a Christmas time and New Years too.

How about you guys at these dating websites focus on Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" and work on the jobs and the bills and the food and shelter for me first?

:argh:

4. LOL!!!
I HATE their stupid ads, with all the guys in the office drooling because they see how one of the female office nitwits reacted like a porn star to getting a teddy bear from her boyfriend, and they all frantically start dialing the phone and hitting the Web site to buy a teddy bear with this look on their faces like "Man, I am gonna get sooooo laid just because I dropped 75 bucks on a stupid bear."

7. I've never sent a gift to a woman at her office because I've always though that would be offensive
to her. I've always thought it better to give gifts in private.

Can't afford to date when you don't have a job.

12. So websites are responsible for meeting your needs?

Get a grip on something besides your wang.

16. THANK YOU.
Now could you please, please convince my mother that no one wants to go out with a 24-year-old unemployed nerd who lives with his parents?

18. Actually, maybe someone does.
I'm a 48-year-old unemployed nerd, but at least I have my own place. (What can I say, one of my parents is dead and the other lives out of state.)

Maybe there should be a new Web site: UnemployedCougars.com

19. Sooooo...
...social websites are responsible for creating jobs?

Plenty of poor people still find love.

Jobs and dates can exist separate of each other...


However, I also dislike Valentines Day.
