For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter…. Why don’t you follow me on Twitter?! Get on that: @Soon2BeCatLady
Okay – oops.. For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter – you missed my live tweeting of a conversation I was having on OKCupid. May this be a lesson to all of you in how NOT to “compliment” girls:
“Hello! Are you replacing your siding in june or procrastinating that?” (For the record: my page lists that I am replacing the siding on my house.. Basically, I am looking for all the free assistance I can.)
“Weather permitting next weekend.”
“great! Are the pictures that you posted old ones?”
“Why would you ask something like that?”
“hard to believe that you are [your age] from those pictures. and i dont think you have a used up body“
“Well, thank you. I moreso put that to be funny.”
“oh, i didn’t get the humor then”
“Apparently listing “curvy” means overweight”
“you look chubby not overweight to me”
Okay – hold the phone for a minute. WHAT!? Duuuuude.. I am actually talking to you. This is probably a rare moment for you.. Why would you say something like that. Guys: Even if it were true.. being called “chubby” is not a compliment, unless you are 6 months old.
“Wow. That is not a compliment.”
“being honest” (After having a chance to cool down a bit – I am sure he does think I am chubby.. because according to his pictures, he is a toothpick. Just about every girl on the planet is probably chubby to him. Also – he has only been in the United States for a year, and he does come from a country that downgrades women..)
“May I ask about your job?”
“No.”
“May ask about your hobbies?”
“No.”
“may i shut up and close the chat?”
“Yes.”
“anyway by chubby i meant it in a positive way not otherwise, sorry if hurt your feelings”
…
“chubby 563 up, 314 down girl: not fat or skinny, most likely to be toned but with just some extra curves, can most times be cute.”
“urban dictionary meaning of chubby”
Okay – did he really urban dictionary “chubby” to attempt to back pedal!?
“Good luck with your life! bye”
