New Yorkers rally to help online romeo

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A tale of online love inspired usually cynical New Yorkers this week to help a young man find the girl of his dreams after he spotted her on a crowded subway train.

etc, etc. the article goes on to say that a hipster in brooklyn saw his ‘dream girl’ on the train, and he went home and set up a website asking for her to call him. essentially this is another article that puffs up any bullshit that happened in nyc to be more important than bullshit in all other places. some of us have been posting missed connections, real and fake, for four or five years now, so we know intimately what type of horse’s ass would set up a cute website about a ‘dream girl’ he saw for 2 minutes, without knowing anything that is on her mind.

unless his ‘dream girl’ was writing (in french) about quasars in her journal, was wearing an ‘ambush bug’ hoodie, had soy dream on her chin, and sported a tattoo of chaucer, it is clear that this guy does not know jack shit about this girl; we doubt that he could honestly say anything more on his site than, ‘you’re, like, hot’. we loathe farcical mc’s!

~ also, over more than 4 years of inattention, we finally updated all of our posts, in the past made through various means and formats, to meet the same schema. you may now find the first three years, 2000-2003 fully tagged and searchable.
