Why I should listen to my mum

My mum is always telling me I am either too shallow or too choosy.
But in this virtual world of online dating the only thing you have to go on is a thumbnail picture, from which you cannot see the cheeky glint in someones eyes or their personality that shines through and makes your heart melt.
So when Mrwellaboveaverage sent me the following message " Hi there! you look just like what the doctor ordered!.... fancy a chat x" with the picture below attached I admit I was a little bit shallow because I didn't actually like what I read in his profile but I replied "A chat would be nice". Lame I know but sometimes I just can't be arsed.

And this is what I got back!

Hi there Ruby!, just reading your profile....."It's a mans world....etc", well that's the first thing we disagree on!

Lol....how can it be a mans world under the present bias in the dating/partner selection process?

I mean if my profile was a bit less indicative of financial status, I can guarantee you would not have even bothered to reply to my message (although you will disagree and say you would have....... nonsense of course)

Women have always got the choice to select what partner they choose, men very rarely do (surely, at your age you should recognise that fact?), that's why you see so many rich or even middle class types who are just plain looking or even down right ugly with classy looking women, it's all about status isn't it?

Although obvious fact that illustrates this perfectly is the phenomenon of prostitution, how come guys are the ones buying sex/affection (with some poor souls the sex is the closest they get to actual love and tenderness).....it's very rarely women who buy sex.

Look, just face facts, all decent looking women are self interested, egocentonic, heartless ****es.

You would never date a guy who was good looking and earned significantly less money then you but you would expect a guy to earn MORE then you  or else you wouldn't have any thoughts of a relationship with him would you?

What's your thoughts on this Ruby?

Well my first thoughts Mrwellaboveaverage are what a wanker! Usually a name like that would have put me off.

I didn't waste my time replying but what the fuck is that all about. I don't like being judged by someone  I have not even spoken to and have only exchanged five words with "A chat would be nice".  I have never been in a relationship with anyone who earns more then me and I considered them all to be attractive but in different ways. I am happy with the fact that I can take care of myself financially. How much someone earns has no relevance to me. What I want from a relationship runs much deeper then that. I would rather be poor and happily in love with someone who inspires and excites me then with some boring arsehole with a healthy bank balance. 

So Mrwellaboveaverage what I'd really like to say to you if you hadn't already deleted your profile is FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

So mum I am sorry I went on the picture alone and I will try harder not to judge a book by it's cover but you don't have to look at some of the monsters that email me!
