This is going to sound really sad but like i cant get
anyone on match (dating place) to even write me except a russian scam artist and a scary looking chick. i paid a hundred dollars for this and i KNOW im going to qualify for their “guarantee” where i’ll get 6 more months of match for free because no one liked me. Herees my thing help me NOT qualify for my guarantee by looking at my profile. if you are a chick + you are interested contact me or if your a guy tell me what i need to do to fix my match profile or if your a girl whose not interested. argh.
hope that link works

…Can only see your portrait if people sign up for it. I sincerely hope this is not some cheap way to get more people to hook up to that site… If it’s not you might want to put some things down here for people to look at. good luck.
If you paid with a Visa, you can call the customer service number on your card and get the amount refunded. I think the other major credit/debit cards offer this as well. They will refund it then fight the company to reimburse them. It’s worth a shot.
Oh lord no, i was afraid i would get in trouble on here for even mentioning that site. Hmm…

In my own words
About my life and what I’m looking for
My name is david, I want to meet someone that is COOL but warm, SAD but hopeful, and ready to feel like falling in LOVE! Wow, did i say that, haha. Its the truth. I can keep you warm in my arms. Barf. Enough of that. Im a smart guy, actually. Really. I’ve been characterized as someone who’ll grow on you, which is fortunate because I always happen to make a buffoon of myself in first impressions..but i can make you interested… A bit about myself… I love my family and my mom the most, (again what jerk wouldnt?) I am “medium” happy as in im not “happy happy happy!” all the time (but … who is?) :-) Write me ;-)
for fun:
I consider a light conversation to be fun, i mean how else are you going to get to know someone? fun can be hanging out with friends and fun can be listening to a cool cd. i want someone who is smart and not self-absorbed, now that would be fun!
my job:
mySQL database and web integration
my ethnicity:
I’m Korean, though I can’t speak it. I know more Spanish than I do any other foreign language. I dont have an abundant preference in any one ethnicity.
favorite hot spots:
I would like to be friends, but if I found a match, Im sure we would both know it. And it would be something special. But there is nothing wrong with friends and learning from one another. I don’t like bars, but sometimes I’m in the mood for a club
favorite things:
food - burgers at oscar’s. books - science & math & philosophy.
color - black or grey. tv show - scrubs. to do on a rainy day - ddr anyone? to hang out and get to know someone who listens as well as they talk.
last read:
The last book I read was the Language Instinct by Steven Pinker.
dude, i dont want to be that guy that failed match.com. to try to get my credit card company get my money back is like not only admitting defeat but that im a loser. but then again i feel bad for even having to seek help for having to seek love on match
Holy cow! You sound so down on yourself. I wouldn’t want to take a chance on a guy like that. If you are trying to joke, don’t put yourself down. I mean you actually call yourself a jerk.
You wan to meet someone who is SAD? With the emphasis in caps it sounds like you are looking for someone who is depressed. Is that really who you are looking for?
Maybe you mean sentimental, someone who cries at sad movies. Or someone who is empathetic, a person who cries at the tragedies on the evening news. Your puctuation gives me the impression that you don’t really care about what you are writing. It seems that you just slapped it on the page without much thought.
Here’s an edited version of the beginning:
My name is David. I’d really like to meet someone who’s COOL but warm, sentimental but hopeful, and loves being in LOVE! Wow, did I say that? I guess I did. And its true.
Most people would say I’m a smart guy. I’ve been characterized as someone who’ll grow on you, which is fortunate because I get nervous and tend to do something foolish when I meet a girl for the first time.
My family is important to me. And I am “medium” happy as in im not “happy happy happy!” all the time (but … who is?) :-)
okay okay, so my profile is all messed up and its because im not really in a happy-nirvana comfy place right now. im amazed i wrote that i had written i want to meet someone who is SAD. maybe because i figured i could cheer them up. Okay thats sounding twisted. Ill figure out some good change, some positive change. But like, Im a rather different kind of guy. I dont think most chicks would be interested in me because I have such different interests in what i believe, and how I spend my time. I used to be like everyone else, and then something happened. Its funny I used to be a Republican and I was happy. But when I learned history of our nation, history of the world, the labor movements, the choices our big business makes, etc… I became a Democrat, and now that Im more aware, I think im less naieve and in some ways, a bit sadder. Does this make sense? Anyways if you’re not a democrat and I peeved you off with that last line please my apologies. Dont take it out of context (i.e. help.com not political world discussion). Ill just write a new profile after I do some soul searching. But isn’t that retarded? I mean its for match…
It’s not retarded. As a matter of fact you were just very honest and there are people out there like you.
What you just wrote needs to go in your profile. It sounds very sincere and not hokey like the previous stuff.
” have such different interests in what i believe, and how I spend my time. I used to be like everyone else, and then something happened. Its funny I used to be a Republican and I was happy. But when I learned history of our nation, history of the world, the labor movements, the choices our big business makes, etc… I became a Democrat, and now that Im more aware, I think im less naieve and in some ways, a bit sadder. Does this make sense?”
Perfect for trying t find someone who shares you views and interests!
Oh by the way, I think you haven’t found anyone like yourself in person yet, because you have changed your place in society. You don’t know where to go to find people like you. You also BELIEVE there is no one else like you. So you aren’t giving people an opportunity. You are rejecting them, they are’t rejecting you.
I tell you this from experience.
Sorry for the three posts. Kept getting interrupted. Just looked at your other post. You are anxious to find someone because of your ex. Relax. Ususally, when you aren’t looking is when you find someone. So what if you get the extra six months on match.com. It does NOT make you a loser. But try to get something else in the forefront of your mind.
Right now there are political campaigns getting underway. Go volunteer for the candidatwe of your choice or volunteer for some other cause that you feel passionate about. It will help you find friends who are of like mind. It will take your mind of your ex. It will help you feel like you are doing something worthy for greater good. And maybe you’ll find someone to start dating. But don’t make the girlfriend thing the reason you go.
Okay. I’m finished. I think. :)
Scrap Match.com
I don’t know anyone who’s actually made that thing work for them. You’d have better luck at myspace, or in a bar. Honestly.
I’ve tried match.com and failed—their male to female ratio is high (more boys than girls) and a lot of the time, when girls sign up, their mailbox gets flooded, with crap. I went on ONE date, and the guy totally ended up being a wimpy jerk! Ha.
Getting your money back, you can use it to take your date out. If it hasn’t worked, then why bother taking more time on it? You didn’t loose, the system just wasn’t right for you. Don’t let consumerism rule your life…their ads are made to make you think, if you can’t do it—you must be a loser.
In chess, with a rook&pawn you can execute a move to regain your queen. hah. I think, I don’t remember chess too well, maybe not?
Heh, wow you dug back pretty far for this post. Thanks for your input. Yeah, Im not particularly keen on it, as the one chick that something-coulda-kinda happened with, she told me the other guys she met weren’t her type. By and large. There’s no money back (MONEY BACK = the worst phrase to businesses, lawyers, and the IRS), but they have some unusual extension policy where if you totally lose for 6 months, then you get an additional 6 months of service for free. I can see this being fruitless.
In chess, a pawn that gets to the last row, known as the 8th rank, gets promoted to whatever you want, including a queen. I like the rook since it is essentially the strongest male piece on the board, despite the fact that the king is the object of the game. I like the pawn because the pawn piece (IMO) is the ideal representative piece.
LOL. Yeah, I just joined this space…and well, work+project_end=wtf am I doing?
I just know from experience which is supose to be something you talk about, or so they say. A friend out in Baltimore, when they moved here, joined match, couldn’t find anyone…I even took head shots for him. He ended up going to school, learning chinese and going overseas, where he met the love of his life. Sweet, huh?
Screw match.com they lie.
Ok, I think I’m done.
I also thought it was funny that you were korean and didn’t speak korean, I’m 1/2 and well, my mom gets on my case for not speaking korean—although she didn’t really have the patience to teach it to me. I only know the bad words… :-/ hah.
Goodluck in finding Ms. Right.
Lol “Screw match - they lie” straight talk from Ms. Times!
love it.
If I lived in California - I would date you. You are a cutie!!
Smile in your picture! You look a little intimidating.
