Who says all the good ones are taken?

I stumbled across this guy on Facebook – he commented on a comment of mine, and when I clicked on his name, this is what popped up. (He lives in Toronto, in case any of you are interested.)

I am 5’11”, with short curly black hair, and brown eyes. I am of mixed culture, by that I mean I am half French Canadian (though I do not speak French), a quarter Scottish, and a quarter Jamaican single male…and I am still a virgin at 33, I prefer telling the truth, because the truth gets you everywhere, and lying gets you nowhere. I whole-heartedly believe in sex before marriage…someone who is a virgin by choice — which I am not — would not believe in this. Yes, I admit I want to have sex, but I want to go out with the woman for a while before something like that happens…to see if we’re going to be good for each other. Also, you should not judge a book by it’s cover, just because I am still a virgin does not mean I do not know what to do! I am looking for a single woman between the ages of 18 – 32 years of age who has ABSOLUTELY no exotic body — eyebrow, nose, lip, tongue, nipple, belly button, etc, and 2 other unmentionable places — piercings. I am very outgoing and looking for the same, if you want to get to know me more, then please feel free to contact me. I’ve been asking girls out since I was 10 and I have been using personal ads since I was 18, that is 14 years of writing these…and in that time I still have yet to get a response (add all those years together and I have been turned down by girls for 23 years in a row); when writing a personal ad I tell the truth, I will never lie — like other people do, I could name a lot of my friends, but am not going to — on a personal ad ever. So, if you want to get to know me, then you’ll have to contact me.

  • I like honesty. Too bad my ears are pierced. And I’m too old. Oh, and I’m already in a relationship. Also, I am NOT outgoing, just the opposite, in fact. My goal this holiday weekend was to go nowhere, and other than a trip to the grocery store for ice cream and a walk around the nabe, I achieved that with aplomb.

    I am guessing he is too good to be true. Like, maybe very conservative in the male/female roles department, or something else rather anachronistic. Besides, what 33 year-old would consider dating an 18 year-old? The gap in maturity would be almost guaranteed to be a deal-breaker.

    Too good to be true? He discounts girls based on superficial details like a nose piercing (which, honestly, is not that exotic these days). I give him a thumbs down.

  • Abby, me too! I’m not worthy.

    Tian, yeah, I always find it creepy when men in their 30s or older put 18 as the lower end of their age range.

    EK, are you suggesting that every single woman he’s ever communicated with over the past 23 years was RIGHT? 😉

  • 14 years without a response?

    The man has determination, at least.

  • XUP

    Sounds like a freak to me. Not to sound cynical or anything, but someone who needs to emphasize his honesty and his virginity this much, I guarantee, has neither. Wanting to date girls as young as 18, as others have said, is also a big red flag. He’s really looking for a naive, gullible young thing he can manipulate with his pathetic stories about himself.

  • I hope you guys don’t think I was serious. Maybe I need to work on my tongue in cheek a little more.

  • Does anyone else think this could be somebody’s experiment to support their psychology/social media thesis?

  • “…just because I am still a virgin does not mean I do not know what to do…”

    …it’s a little like saying ‘I’ve watched people drive for years so, sure, I can drive like Jeff Gordon’.

    This dude sounds like he’d finally get on a first date, only to spend an hour discussing his virginity, which might be the polar opposite of someone discussing their full and rich sex life on a first date, but equally as annoying.

  • Clearly the truth isn’t getting him…EVERYWHERE. If you know what I mean. And I think that you do.

  • Nat

    He’s not a virgin by choice… I’d say a lot of girls made a choice alright.

  • Snort! My reaction was ‘holy shit’! And then “is he for real?” What’s wrong with women that they’ve been turning this peach down for all these years? I laughed so hard I had to read it aloud.

  • Arden

    How is he still single? I’m shocked! Quick quick, give me his contact info, because we are totally made for eachother! Oh yeah!

    Am I the only one tempted to set up a date with him, and then wear the most outrageous S&M gear complete with riding crop and get extra piercings, just to watch him freak out?

  • Um…there’s a reason why this guy is an expert at writing personal adds. There just has to be. Then he actually comments on posts of people he doesn’t know? Yah, I smell desperation so strong here, I could taste it. To the person wanting to arrange a date complete with S&M toys? Yah, I dare you. Then I want details.
    I just wish he would have made himself cooler. Doesn’t sound like anyone who tickles my fancy.
