Today, on Thanksgiving, I give thanks that OKCupid allows me to block particularly awful users.
This morning, I got a message from a guy in Sacramento. A quick look at some of his answers indicated severe problems. He thinks gay people are sinful* and that evolution should not be taught in schools.
I wrote him back, saying he’s too conservative for me, and wished him a Happy Thanksgiving.
He started to argue back that I should give him a chance. Thus, I told him that those particular issues were dealbreakers for me. He continued to argue, saying that we can agree to disagree, that his views on gays shouldn’t affect whether we can hang out, that anal sex is wrong because it’s not procreative (and yes, he is a hypocrite who doesn’t have the same problems with oral).
He said that I’m judgmental, which I find hilarious; he can judge gays, but I can’t judge bigots, apparently.
And then he said this:
“I think we would connect better on a sexual level…you might not like my ideal but im sure youd like my dick… Now i mean no disrespect.. We all have needs.. I just think the hostility would be gone if you felt something nice and big in you [sic]”
At least he means no disrespect.
Thanks for the ability to block and a day on which I can have a lot of wine.
*How common is anti-gay bigotry on OKC? Well, on their page of instructions about how to block people and how to report people for abusive behavior, they have to say this: “Please note: we DO allow married, gay, and transgender people on OkCupid, so reporting them won’t get them deleted.”
Damn, it’s good he meant no disrespect: imagine how offensive it would be if he did…
Just saying…
