Online Fairytales

    Man, twenty-four, seeking Woman, age twenty to twenty-six.
    Within fifty miles of Salistown, Connecticut. 
    Preferably of slender build. 
    Preferably educated. 
    Non-smoker, No drugs, No kids. 
    Must be seeking a committed relationship. 
    Must have a sense of humor (because I’m concerned this website is a joke).

    I never thought I’d turn to the world of online dating.  Something about it just seems so unnatural, so… desperate?  I thought (if I can’t meet a girl in the “real” world) there must be something wrong with me.  Maybe I’m old fashioned.  Maybe I’m naïve.  I watched too many Disney movies as a child.  (Thanks Mom.  Thanks Walt.)  I went to college and learned all there is to know about biology- except how to pick up women. 
    Maybe there’s nothing wrong with me; and it’s the world that’s messed up.
    Even so, adapt or die, right?
