I agreed to go out with my date tonight because of a single sentence in his OkCupid profile:
"I am NOT like your typical Seattle man."
He was born and raised in New York. I had to give it a shot.
Points scored for showing up on time, shaving, and avoiding flannel.
But as he talked nonstop and didn't ask me a single question about myself the entire evening, I found myself thinking he could use a few tips about Pacific Northwest passiveness.
At some point he gave his opinions on humanitarian aid:
"I have a friend who's going down to Honduras to work in a village with Doctors With Borders or some shit like that."
Yes, he said Doctors With Borders. I did not mistype.
"I mean, it's so dumb! He's not gonna save anyone and he's just gonna get himself killed in the process. He'd be better off making a few million dollars and bombing the shit out of whoever's in charge because their government isn't doing anything to help them."
My thoughts exactly.
