Um, I think you’ve got a little comma splice there. Oh, and there. And there. And … oh, never mind.
For the record, there’s only one period in this entire post (other than the four at the end). For those of you playing along at home, there’s 1,152 words in this post, and one period. Apostrophes? None. Commas? 242 of ’em.
Vanessa sent this one in, saying, “This sounds like a script for Christopher Walken.”
There were pictures with the post, but I’m going to take pity on the guy and not post them here. Why? Because deep down, I’m a softy. He sounds really sincere. I believe he’s looking for love — I just think the written word might not be … let’s see, how can I put this delicately? I don’t think it’s his strongest suit.
If there was ever a post that qualified for both “Ow! My eyes!” and “punctuationally challenged,” this is definitely it.
There are a few periods in the end!
Also, as much as I wish the best for this individual, this can’t possibly end well.
After all….he is more or less saying he’s looking for anyone with a vagina.
I read the whole things, and I started getting flashbacks of when I was a kid in Sunday School. The repetition, the confusion, the punctuation problems, and the rambling all scream Old Testament to a deep and primal part of my memory.
wonder what a “roung” women is
crap, woman
My original guess was “young” in scooby-doo talk. But in context it looks like a massacre of the word “wrong.
It’s even worse than misspelling “ladies”.
I’ve met a ton of clowns like this. Guys that have a rough relationship or two, like everyone else on earth, and make themselves martyrs.
I’m a little “aww” about him too, but I’m nonetheless uneasy about the “I want somebody who’s been wrecked so I can feel like I’m saving you” undercurrent.
I was so used to the commas when I hit the question mark halfway through I fell off my chair.
Quote: but i will tell you one thing i have never left a woman in my life,
Is this the dating equivalent of “I’ve never quit any of my jobs”?
Creepy. At least it was only four sentences, so it was concise and quick reading.
~blink~
That caught my attention too. In other words, he’s only ever been dumped? There are right and wrong ways to break off a relationship, but he seems to think that breaking up is inherently wrong. But sometimes it’s not. Sometimes you realize it’s the wrong relationship and someone’s got to end it.
I noticed the one period immediately. It seemed so odd. At that point just give up on the commas altogether.
There is a major difference in speaking and writing. This is a cool approach when done with almost every pastor and politician, but it doesn’t work in writing.
I also thought it was really creepy that he seems determined to date emotionally-damaged women. I wonder if it’s to lower the bar. Like dating abused women so you can be a jerk and still go “well, i’m better than your last boyfriend, i dont beat the crap out of you”
Lastly, as someone who abuses commas often, i feel a little better about myself right now.
“good man, thats free and clean,”
is there a word missing? free-spirited? free-thinking? Or is it “i’m not writing this from a prison computer”
And i wonder what is clean. Credit, hygiene, diseases?
He sounds like the love child of William Faulkner and e.e. cummings.
he may be lookin for love, but im looking for a period, damn it. he may be mr. sensitive, but id like to see him read this in 1 breath. maybe on his date, the roung woman can meet him with “the elements of style?”
i will never yell, at you , or fight with you, i will never disrespect, you, i will never lie to you, i will stand strong and be beside you, down the road of life, no matter how hard it is, or easy, and will not quit you
Get thee to a psychiatrist. Dating is not therapy.
Actually, I found that imagining this in Christopher Walkens voice made it much more bearable and amusing.
I would actually pay good money to watch him read this out loud.
The written word isn’t his strong suit, you are roung about that! Belive me, this guy had me at “my heart is real”.
I’m fighting off the urge to do a dramatic reading of this, “How is babby formed” style.
Also, and will not quit you, i will not give up on you, — did we not just get Rickrolled here?
Never mind the complete absence of capital letters… I think Freud would tell us that shows a complete and utter lack of spine – or the ability to use the shift key (though the question mark kind of blows the latter theory out of the water).
anywoman that can get through that deserves him
Seriously… I had to stop after the first 8 lines or so. The YSAC overseer isn’t kidding about the “Ow! My eyes!” part…
Guys like this are creepy as hell. Their self-esteem is invariably so low that they can’t imagine someone liking them for legitimate reasons, so they seek out damaged women. Because, see, all you have to do with a chick like that is treat her adequately–you know, do all the minimum things that are expected in a monogamous relationship, like not lying or cheating–and then she’ll fall in love with you because you look good compared to the last guy. Right?
but i will tell you one thing i have never left a woman in my life, i have been, used, lied to, hurt, played, used for sex, used for money, cheated on, betrayed, on, i have been yelled at, quit on, left alone, i have paid much price for love, so yes men hurt women and women hurt men…
So, either a doormat or the passive aggressive type that refuses to ever actually be the one to end a relationship. Because there is no healthy reason for that statement to be true.
This would be a creepy ad even if the punctuation didn’t make my eyes bleed.
Or just someone trolling for a woman he can take advantage of, and be fairly sure she will still stick with him after he suggests she do something irreverent.
He said he wants the woman who has it hard. Why would she want him if she was already getting it hard? That is just roung. Did he just pass an std test? Those blood tests don’t show everything! So , that nasty case of the herp in his 20s…still there…those mystery bumps…still hiding somewhere. That siff and clap that he forgot to treat…so true, so still there and, you get the idea!!
I think you all have it wrong. It’s not Christopher Walken. I believe it’s a shout out to William Shatner, due to the Star Trek movie coming out this summer. What gets me the most about it though, is not the Shatner-esque way of speaking. It’s the fact that he wants a woman that has kids, or doesn’t have kids. There’s also this little gem: “if you reply and we click, great, if not i will not tell you.”
So if they don’t get along, he’s just going to deal with it.
I read right over that one, and had to go back and check — you’re right, of course. And I’d prided myself just a little on getting through the whole thing.
In context, though, it seems a little like the second “not” could be an error, because he continues on with the bit about staying friends.
I’d missed that too. I think Rahm is right … I think the second “not” is a mistake, because the next clause is “or you tell me”. It seems like it should be saying, “if you reply and we click, great, if not I will tell you, or you tell me, we will stay friends, …”
That’s right ladies – one night with this guy and you’ll start missing your periods.
I started with a deep breath .. then gave up and thought “Fuck me sideways, what’s he on?” Then thinking about it, I’m sure the real solution is that he’s at that stage of drunkeness when your mouth and brain are totally disengaged and you “luv everyone seriously” … 3 seconds before collapsing onto the floor? (or is that just me?) How come I’ve missed him all my life?
Couldn’t force myself to read the whole thing. My eyes got all watery somewhere around the tenth line. I believe this guy has taken lessons from Carrot Ironfounderson and his, as Sam Vimes calls it, “ballistic punctuation”.
I think, what hes, looking for, is a woman, with low, self esteem, who will put, out, for anyone….
It’s Smoove B!!

This gives me flashbacks to first year Modern English Lit class when we did Ulysses by James Joyce. The last chapter had, what, two periods? Ten at most.
I mean, that had almost no breaks or pauses, where this is clearly a dude who is hesitant with no self-esteem looking to bring a girl home to his family so his siblings will stop calling him gay.
This dude screams ‘future serial killer looking for emotionally vulnerable women to dismember/eat still beating hearts right from the chest’ to me. I imagine his notes to the press will be similarly long-winded and incoherent.
I find the “used for sex” part very hard to believe. If he can’t find punctuation on a keyboard what makes one think he can find any part of female anatomy?
