An Introvert in an Extroverted World Part 2

This is from the brilliant Hyperbole and a Half blog by Allie Brosh.

A while ago I wrote a post called "An Introvert in an Extroverted World" and I said I might follow it up with more posts on the same topic. I haven't really but something has sparked my interest in it so here is a bit of a follow up. It's probably not going to answer many of the questions people asked in the comments or reply to any of their points. Sorry about that, they're all valid and I probably will get round to them one day but I'm not a very regular blogger. Something really has to spark my interest to make me want to write about it. So anyway here is part two of the introversion series of posts...

Adventures in Online Dating

There's been something that's been annoying me for quite a while now and I've been wanting to get a hold of the people who do it and tell them that it annoys me but for all of this time I've thought I had no way of doing it. Then a few days ago I realised that I have got a way - I've got my blog. Now to be fair I realise that a grand total of none of the people I'm about to rant about will read it but at least it'll be out there. Maybe it'll go viral (pffft!).

So what am I talking about? Well last week the BBC website published this article:

And then earlier today (Sunday) they published this follow-up:

They're about online dating and the crap things people say on their profiles. They just struck a cord with me because, as many of you know, I've been single for quite a while now so have, shall we say, sampled a few of the online dating services. Some of the cliches the BBC mention are some of the cliches that have been irritating me but I have a few of my own. I also disagree with some of their comments and as I said above, I've just realised that I've got a forum right here to get them off my chest.
