Who I Follow

Why have my last three messages on okcupid (a dating website) been called wink even though I changed my profile to specifically disallow winks? A wink is the most un-message message one can send; it just says “so-and-so sent you a wink!” Nooot really a conversation started and so I disabled them but a few clever guys have figured out a way around it by simply entitling a message “wink” and writing something like “your cute.”

Look, there are a LOT of things you can be lazy about. You can be lazy about school and cheat/BS your way through. You can be lazy about watching american idol reruns all night long. You can be lazy and write emails instead of snail mail. You can be lazy about doing the dishes.

BUT if you are a somewhat overweight, only moderately attractive and minimally interesting guy on a dating website, you *cannot* be lazy about dating.

any ideas for a really good, witty response to send back to the guys that basically says all this in a one-liner?
