Pragmatism, I’m sure you won’t read this, but it has to be said. For someone complaining about the spelling in an online article, you should probably watch your own gramar. It is generally considered appropriate to capitalize the first word of each sentence. Just some food for thought.

Personally, I thought the article was entertaining, especially because my mom wont stop bugging me to join JDate, which becomes less and less of an attractive option each time I read these stories of the crazy people on there.
And in regards to all of you who criticize, keep in mind that you are not the ones producing funny new literature on a weekly basis, so try not to be such douches.

way to own it randi! now channel it. perhaps into the following sequence of events: copy all, paste into word, spellcheck.
or keep up with the excuses. whichever.

Oh, the previous comment was directed toward pragmatism.

Now you’re just making me laugh. Your anger is so sad.

And I’m not sure what has led you to believe that I’m “alone”? These dates didn’t take place yesterday. Or even recently. I just happen to be writing about them now.

randi–
fazerski is my mentor? we don’t know each other, but we agree on a narrow point. i’m not sure that this rises to the mentor level. as long as we are speaking of mentors, please get some editing help. and spell check. thanks.
i’m all for you getting more traffic here. you seem not to care how you get the traffic and seem to argue that paul should write another reprehensible piece so others will see more of your whining about the dating scene because its beyond your control. this is exactly where mr. roth’s rebuttal comes in. he exerted some control over the situation. apparently you are helpless in life, helpless in love, helpless in humanity. and maybe that is the “cause” that leads to the “effect” of you being alone and meeting only j-douches.
as for the other non-mr. roth writers, you are correct. i hold you all in the same low level of esteem. the difference is that i have actually enjoyed a few of the other pieces. the only personal part about this is that i personally do not like your writing. sorry randi, its gonna happen. maybe you have artificial expectations because everyone here is a cheerleader or else they are deemed to be trolls. you publish this crap. own it.
i don’t feel sorry that you misspelled something because “you have never been prescribed” it. you publish this on the internet. use spell check, for the love of haiti. i don’t think that is an unreasonable request.
you may be way too sensitive to be a writer randi.

chad,
my point is that you presume that people must enjoy the stories. i say that people can enjoy the stories or dislike them or be ambivalent about them. however, it appears that if a person’s response falls into the latter two categories, that person is a troll. if that’s how this place rolls, so be it. but don’t think that people won’t see through it.
douchiness is a subjective term, of course. although if anyone is approaching objective douchification, it is paul.

* For what it is worth I and apparently many others have found your stories consistently very funny. I hope you keep up the good work.

Jeez, looks like the trolls are back.

You should just ignore idiots like pragmatism and Fazerski. No good comes from feeding them.

For what it is worth I am apparently many other have found you stores consistently very funny. I hope you keep up the good work.
