What’s the deal with people who put “Prefer Not to Say” when it comes to describing yourself? Especially when it comes to a dating website. I understand why someone would prefer to not say if they use drugs because who really wants to admit to being a messed up coke head? Besides, the answer “Prefer Not to Say” pretty much speaks for itself. I kinda understand why ugos would “Prefer Not to Say” what body type they have just as long as they understand why the person meeting them opts to leave when he realizes he’s dating a fat chik (ya know the type: girls who hope to woo a man based on her “personality”).
But what really blows me away are the folks with kids. When given the opportunity to admit to drunken mistakes and broken condoms, they choose go with “Prefer Not to Say.” Seriously? How long do they expect that to last? I would think the very first question that description would draw is “So...do you have kids?” Are they gonna try to avoid the topic entirely--hide the kid in the closet every time your date comes over. Maybe stuff his Power Rangers in with your power tools. Stash the Gerber jars in with the jam.
What I find most humorous is that some people actually have the stupidity to think this is a valid response. It’s not like any of the readers buy it. Who puts “Prefer Not to Say” if they don’t have kids? I think not getting knocked up isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Maybe in European countries where goats are traded like currency, but not in this land.
I’m just saying, folks...
