Sooo, imagine you're a single dude. You go out on some dates occasionally, but you just haven't met the right lady for you yet. Gee, don't you wish one of your friends would create a website to help you meet women? If you're some dude named Jason, that's exactly what happened to you. And you reacted, appropriately, with "terror" and mortification. But your friend didn't stop at that website. He also got you on Glamour and even into the Globe. All of this, so far, doesn't seem to have gotten you a date.
Indeed, local boy Jason is getting growing attention for his online presence, but not all of it's positive. He kinda got slammed on Glamour, where the ladies said things like, "I'm not attracted to guys who are big sports fans," he "looks like a cheeseball," and he's "too old for me" (28 is "too old"? damn!). And we can't decide which of these is more damning: that Jason looks like "a less gay version of Perez Hilton" or gives off "a bit of a Spencer Pratt vibe." Ouch! The poor guy is also being criticized by Globe commenters, who are calling him "abnormal" and suggesting that if you can't find a date in this city there's really no hope for you. But there's always hope on the internet... isn't there?
All this feels more like a ploy for attention on the part of the friend than a way to help Jason himself. At least Jason is not alone: Glamour reveals there is a woman whose friends made her a website to help her find dates. Sounds like a match made in heaven (or online), right? Sadly, the lovely lady's URL is now home to a (seemingly fake) pet grooming company. If Jason can't find a date, maybe he can at least get a job vacuuming dogs.
