I have a new iPhone, so like most people new to apps, I downloaded a whole bunch right away. (Yes, I'm the last person in the world to get into Angry Birds.) One of these apps was the Match.com one.
I really wish I hadn't.
Every dating site contains a group of people who I'm convinced don't sleep. These men (although there are probably women like this too) just troll the site all night and send 'winks' willy-nilly to anyone who catches their eye. Ever since downloading the Match.com app I've been woken up by my phone about 3 times a night...
Ding! Mark in Mississauga sent you a wink!
Ding! JB in Vancouver sent you a wink!
Ding! Abubakar in Cairo sent you a wink!
Mississauga is driveable, Vancouver is at least the same country, but Egypt? Seriously?? Dude, I'm looking for love, it's true, but you and I both know that neither of us is about to move to the other's country. And even if you were the Egyptian Matt Damon, it's not going to happen -- you've woken me up at 5am and couldn't even be bothered to type a message. F*ck off.
(Note to Matt Damon, if you're reading this, you're allowed to wink at whatever time of day you like.)

That is sooooo true! They send messages three times a day. You have 18 new matches! He e-mailed you! Refer a friend and get $25!Check out who is new in Toronto area! You have new personalized matches! Enough already!!! So annoying!
