I Doubt It's 10 Inches

Plenty of Fish has BY FAR the most ignorant, stupid, classless, and scummy men. Why I am on there, because I am an optimist. I like to think that maybe something good will come out of it.

I do not take any of the comments to heart. I know that most men are just frustrated that girls don't just offer themselves up to them whenever they want.

This screenshot was captured on Sunday night.


Dear men, 
Women do not care how long your dick is...as far as I am concerned, your dick is 6'3" and you should be wearing a condom as a hat. 

I mean really...I was nothing but absolutely polite to him and being upfront that I was not interested. 

I was not interested because in his profile it states he "wasn't looking for any relationship and no commitment". Unfortunately for him, I am looking for the exact opposite. So I told him that we would not make a good match. 

My life is pretty entertaining with these guys around! 

Hook-Up Disasters

I am certainly no stranger to this section either. I have had more screwed up hook-up’s than I know what to do with. I won't bore you with all of them, but I will tell you the most unbelievable ones.

Vinny: In college I was in a sorority. I had a small side business where I made hand-sewn letters for the UMaine Greek Community. Somehow, Vinny got my name and he found me on Facebook and he placed an order. We got to talking and he told me that he and his girlfriend were on the verge of a breakup. Not that it mattered to me! But he went on a whole diatribe about it, so I listened. He asked if I wanted to hang out that coming weekend. I said yes and we hung out. Nothing happened because he was still with his girlfriend at that time. I told him if he wanted to sleep with me he would have to be single...I don't want to be "the other woman". A few days later he broke up with her. He wanted to know if I wanted to watch a movie a few nights later. Why do I always assume that I will actually be watching a movie? I should know by now that "watching a movie" means "I want to have sex with you while a movie plays in the background." So I said yes we can watch a movie, I'll make dinner and we will just hang out. We ended up having sex. But here’s where it goes wrong...in the middle of sex, he slapped me in the face as hard as he could. I mean. I like rough sex sometimes, but don't slap me across the face! How rude is that? I had never kicked anyone out of bed, until then. Definitely regret going there!

Matt: One of my FAVORITE stories, because it is awful. I met Matt through UMaine Greek Life. My sorority went to his fraternity house for a spaghetti dinner and game night. We were playing "words in a bucket” [pretty much the equivalent to charades] and I was the one who had to choose a word, and I happened to choose "husband". Well Matt was the man with the timer and holding the bucket of terms we had to make our way through. So how do I portray "husband"? Well I pointed to my ring finger then pointed to Matt. I did not know who he was, I did not even know his name, I was just playing the game. After that, we were married. He would call me wifey, and I would call him hubby. No we were not REALLY married, but it was an inside joke. After the game he took me aside and told me that he needed to show his new wife around the house. I agreed, I thought he was very handsome, so I turned on the charm. After the tour my sorority and I went home. To this day, we still argue about this, but I stand my ground that HE creeped me on Facebook. Is it important? No; but he thinks I was the one who messaged him first. Either way, we got to talking. I invited him over to my dorm room so I could show my "new husband" our second home. There was a Bruins game on and he and I were watching it. The game ended and we started making out. Clothes started coming off, before I knew it, we were naked and about to hook up. To this day, my sorority sisters and I all know Matt as "bush". Why? Because he never shaved...never trimmed, NO MANSCAPING AT ALL. I have never had a harder time giving head than I did with him. After that I did not know what to do so I asked a few of my sorority sisters how to get a guy to at least TRIM. We ended up being friends with benefits for 6-7 months, until he decided to date a man, I mean, woman [still questionable] on the UMaine Women’s Hockey Team. After that we talked and flirted but we never hooked up again. I always wanted to date Matt, I thought we would have been great (if he would just shave his pubes!) we had a lot in common, but it did not work out. He left a year before I was done college. I never saw him again but I do talk to him every now and again.

Joe: Another one of those guys I met at a sorority/fraternity social. He was hot. He was in the Army, older than me, sexy tattoo. He was a bad boy. If you looked up the term "bad boy" in the dick-tionary, his picture would be next to it. Our relationship was immediately sexual. There was no "I am interested in you", it was "you have a vagina, I like you, let’s find somewhere to go. “So that's what we did. Joe was my friend with benefits from the time Matt had his boy, er...girlfriend...until the day Joe called my ass fat. After that I had nothing to do with him. Oh, and he also put it in my ass that one time. All trust was shattered. He loved rough sex, spanking until blood vessels broke, fucking my throat hard, and deep thrusting. It was exciting, I did not mind it, but I would have been okay with taking it down a notch...or five. We were about to hook up one time, he was sitting in the chair across from my couch and he asked me if he had to come over there or if my fat ass was going to walk to him. No sir...my "fat" ass is going to stay here on this couch, fully clothed, and you’re going to go home, it’s just you and your hand tonight. We were on and off after that; then he got a girlfriend and pinned her, so we do not speak anymore. [For those who are not Greek, pinning means the equivalent of we are serious, possibly getting married.]

Tom: Another frat boy another ridiculous story. I met Tom at a fraternity/sorority social between our chapters. I was instantly attracted to him, and I thought he was awesome...I really wanted to date him...We talked about hanging out, but nothing happened until one night he texted me and asked if I would come get him from the bar because he was drunk...I thought this was going to be my "in"...wrong...I brought him back to his fraternity house on campus and he told me to text him in the morning when he is sober. The next day I text him and I asked if he wanted to come over. For some reason he took that to mean sex. I was thinking more along the lines of dinner. Well he came over and yes, we started hooking up...making out, touching, clothes coming off; I would be lying if I said this wasn't what I wanted. So I am here, giving him head, and in the middle of it, he stops me and tells me his ride is here, he has to go. What man leaves in the middle of oral sex!? I mean, wow. I was flabbergasted after that. Completely taken back, I said ok, he left, and I never saw him again. We talked a few times after that and he apologized, but nothing ever came from it.

Ronnie: Everyone has those guys in their life where they think to themselves "what the hell was I thinking!?" Ronnie is mine. I still, to this day, do not know what the hell I was thinking or if I was on drugs, I do not know, but Ronnie was creepy. He could be SUPER nice, he is genuine, and caring, but he is SO shy and he isn't confident, and it shows because it comes off as creepy. I met Ronnie at, yet again, another fraternity/sorority social. He pretty much claimed me for the whole night, we danced together, talked, drank, and had fun. After the night was over, because of our protocol, I was not allowed to stay at the house. So I went back to my place, got my car and I went back to the fraternity house to hang out, so I thought. I was drunk and I ended up having sex with him. To this day I just shake my head. I do not know what I was thinking. In the morning I woke up in complete horror and naked. I ran the hell out of there as fast as I could.

Joey: This is one of the funnier stories I have. Is it embarrassing, yes of course, is it hilarious, yes it is, do I still joke about it with the guys in this story, absolutely, and I do. It all starts on St. Patrick’s day, 2012. It happened to be on a Saturday. I went over to Joy’s fraternity house around 11am. From 11am to after midnight, I was drinking. I had a whole bottle of svedka and skyy. Some of the details of this story are hazy, so I will tell you what I know for certain and the things that were told to me. The whole day I remember was awesome, until Darren (one of my friends) was taken to the hospital because he broke his foot...or something. What I know is that the ambulance was there, Darren had to go to the ER and then when he came back, he was on crutches. After about 10 straight hours of drinking, beer pong, beer die, some beer hockey game that I don't remember, my sorority sister Lindsay decided to play a last game of beer die, and whoever loses has to strip and run two laps around the house, naked. She did not have anyone on her team so being the good sister I am (and very drunk sister) I decide to play with her. We lost. Lindsay and I went outside, stripped and ran twice around the house. I somehow lost my underwear; and I did not find them again until the sun came up the next day. Back to the night before. After the naked lap Lindsay, Joey, Frank and my sorority sister Mariah decided to go up to Frank’s room and play "Jackass Strip", pretty much, you have to take off an article of clothing every time you see a penis while watching "Jackass". After about 20 minutes, we were all naked. Joey and I had a long history. I love Joey, to this day, I still love him. He’s a great friend and I used to refer to him as my Canadian lover because we are both 100% French/Canadian and we are super proud of it. So Joey and I were naked on Frank’s couch, Frank and Mariah were on Frank’s bed and we were eating thin mints. I vaguely remember Joey eating a thin mint off my breast? Or my shoulder? Somewhere, and then Frank and Joey put their dicks in cups and danced around. After that, it gets blurry, until we were all going to sleep. Mariah was on the couch/futon, I was in Frank’s bed with Frank and Joey, and I had a pair of Frank’s shorts on and a tank top. I remember Joey and I couldn’t sleep...so we started making out. We did not want to wake up Frank so Joey and I went to the bathroom down the hall. (Classy right? haha) I remember being on my knees in front of the shower that was getting warm so Joey and I could get in...and to my surprise I see Frank, open the door. Frank caught Joey and me in the bathroom, with Joy’s dick in my mouth. Utter embarrassment. The mood was then ruined, so Joey and I went downstairs into the main room and made a makeshift bed out of couches because we could not face Frank just yet, we were too embarrassed. The next morning I remember the hangover to trump all hangovers. After that night, Frank and Joey and I still joke about it, but I still wonder about what would have happened if Joey and I did get together. I do still like him and would date him if given the chance.

Ben: Remember Ben from a few pages back? The one I really wanted to be with but found someone "better" than me? Well, his part of the story isn't over. In 2012 I was unhappy at my job working for an Oral Surgeon. It was a very unhealthy work environment. So I was seeking another job. Ben and I would text because he was working in Brewer, ME and he actually had a girlfriend he was living with. I texted Ben one day to tell him I was excited about a job interview I had in Brewer at an Attorney’s office. It turns out, the attorney was the City Solicitor in Maine, and Ben was the Code Enforcement Officer, who worked in the same building as the attorney I had an interview with. I had Ben give me a good recommendation and I ended up getting the job because of Ben. So technically, Ben and I were working together. He would come over to talk and see how I am doing, and we really got to be good friends. To this day, I still do not know what happened or how it happened, but I somehow became his "other woman". I am certainly not proud of it, but I was under the impression that maybe if he would remember what it was like to be with me, maybe he would get rid of the girlfriend (whom he admitted to me was basically taking advantage of him...) and then be with me. Spoiler alert...I am still single. For a whole year and a half that I worked for the attorney, I was also sleeping with Ben. When the attorney and the paralegal would leave, I would text him to come over and we would make out in the filing rooms, there would be groping and touching, flirting and joking. I honestly loved Ben. But this did not stop just at work. Sometimes, Ben would come over to my apartment in Milford at 6:30am, wake me up, we would have sex before he would go to work, he would leave for work, and I would go back to sleep or go to class (depending on the day). He would also come over after work for a late afternoon fuck and then go back to his house to his girlfriend. I wanted to be with Ben so bad, I thought this would help, but it apparently is never meant to be. The last time I slept with Ben was about 2 days before I left to be a Nanny over in France. He came over in the morning 2 days before I was to leave because he said he had a present to give to me, so I told him to come over at 6:30am like usual, we would have one last rendezvous and that would be the end of it. So he came over, we had sex and we said our goodbyes, and yes, I did cry, despite him not leaving his girlfriend, I still loved him and thought of him as a really good friend. When he left, I looked to the side of my bed and there was his copy of "Footloose". To this day, I can still remember the feeling when I saw that movie, and it still makes me tear up because to me, that sounds like something that only happens in the movies. Ben and I had a "movie" ending. We still talk to this day.

Chris: Chris is one of the few multi-millionaires that I have dated in the past. I have never slept with one, and to this day, I STILL have not slept with one. Here is the story. Chris is arrogant. He flashes his money like a pair of headlights, it is just a way to get women to flock to him. He was apparently looking for a sugar-baby (someone he could give a monthly monetary allowance to, in return, the sugar-baby would have to have sex with him when and wherever.) I thought about it...he was 29, worth a lot of money and was going to give me A LOT of money if I were to agree to this. (Let’s just say, I could have paid off all of my student loans, in less than 6 months with just the money he was going to give me) So I invited him over to see if I was going to be comfortable with this arrangement. He was handsome and arrogant, and he seemed he was in a rush to get in my pants. I was surprisingly comfortable with him so we went to my bedroom. We were about to go at it and I had noticed he did not put a condom on, so I reminded him and he went into his pants pocket, and got one, and he started trying again, without protection, and I reminded him again, said NO, you need a condom and he kept trying...I reminded him four times, and said no four times and told him four times to get the condom on or he is out, on the fifth time, I got out of bed, put my clothes on, and told him to leave because if I deserve anything, it is respect. I told him 5 times he needed to wrap it up and he did not respect me enough to listen to me. That was the second time I ever kicked anyone out of bed (I kicked Vinny out when he slapped me in the middle of sex...because I needed ice for my face.)

Dates That Make You Say "What Just Happened?!"

          Dates are rarely ever comfortable. Whenever I think of the word "dating" I think of this quote in "Wedding Crashers":

          "Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out ‘cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair."

          I really cannot describe it any better. Every single date is different. All of the ones I have been on as of late, have all been complete and utter failures.

          John: To this day, when I think of him it literally hurts me. There is so much unresolved anger after this guy that for a long time, I had no idea what to do with myself. However, I feel that I handled what happened to me by this guy as good as I possibly could all alone, because I have never come out to anyone about the happenings with John and I. I met him on PlentyofFish.com. He was handsome, funny, kind, and successful with his own construction business, what was not to like? We had gone on a few dates and he asked if I wanted to go to a cookout/pig roast at his friend’s house. I thought it would be fun so I said yes, I would definitely go. He gave me the address to his house where I was to pick him up and go to his friend’s house. I picked him up and we were off. We get to his friends place and they were all SO nice. John and I cuddled and watched fireworks, we had a lot of awesome food; it was so much fun, we had a really good time. I went back to his place and stayed the night. The next day he was supposed to take me somewhere, but I cannot remember where. However, it never happened, he broke plans with me. That’s fine, I'll go back to Bangor and do whatever I would do if I wasn't going to see him that day. I wasn't upset about it. I really fell hard for this guy. He was so sweet and charming. A few days later I get a text from him that I had apparently been seeing someone behind his back. Not only was this not true, but even if it was, we were not in an exclusive relationship and we only had 2 dates. To this day, I still have no idea what he is talking about. To make a long story short, he broke up with me. I was pretty much devastated, but what could I do. I didn’t do anything wrong. A few weeks later I get a text from John. He told me he made a mistake letting me go and that he wanted to come over to make amends. I told him I didn’t know if that was a good idea, and that I did not know if I wanted to be with a guy who would fly off the handle like that. He assured me he wanted to have this conversation in person and that I wouldn’t regret it. Spoiler alert...I regret it...I told John to come over the next day for dinner, and he did. I can even tell you what I made. As I was washing the pot that I had made dinner in, he came up behind me and started to touch me...I told him to stop and that I did not want to do this because I still didn’t know if I wanted to be with him. He did not take no for an answer. He took me to my bedroom and date raped me. I said no so many times, but he just did what he wanted. When he left, I just cried. Thankfully my cat was around at this point to be next to me. I was terrified. This man knew my address now...I didn’t sleep for about 2 days. To this day I still go back to that day and wonder how I did not see it coming. But there is nothing I can do about it now...the past is the past and I cannot let it dictate my future.



          Derek: While this idiot is not as bad as John, Derek gets "asshole of the year" award for this date. I just moved to Massachusetts for my first job out of college. I am new to the area and I found Derek on OkCupid. We had talked for a few days and we decided to meet at a bar just outside of Boston, and about 3 miles to his house. We hit it off when we were getting drinks, and he asked if I wanted to go back to his place to watch a movie and hang out, see if his roommates were around. That should have been my cue to say "no thanks, I should get going..." but I didn’t. I went to his place. He drove to his place and we were watching Black Hawk Down. (One of my favorite movies.) We started making out a little, you know, PG stuff. But then he grabbed my hand and put it on the outside of his crotch. This is when I knew it was just going downhill from here. He let go of my hand and I quickly moved my hand somewhere else. He all of a sudden unzips his pants and whips it out! I’m trying to watch one of my favorite movies and this guy whispers in my ear "suck it"...hum....no!? I just explained to him that I am not one of those girls who gives it up to just anyone and that I do not have sex without monogamy. (Yes, that is my new mantra...I do not have sex without monogamy...let’s just say I haven’t had sex in forever.) He looked at me like I had 5 eyes. That’s when things got awkward. He decided since I wasn't going to give him sex I should probably leave...yup, that’s right. He kicked me out at 9:30pm. He did not drive me to my car, he made me walk. So here I am, middle of who knows where, at 9:30 at night, in a little black dress and sky high heels, walking 3 miles to my car, all alone outside of Boston. I have not seen, or talked to him since. Which is probably a good thing for him because I would probably cut his dick off.

          Hektor: Guys down here in Massachusetts definitely live up to their "masshole" name don't they! Well Hektor is no exception, even though he lives in Portsmouth NH. Hektor is from Sweden but has a work visa for the U.S. I met Hektor on Tinder and he seemed very charming and funny and personable, he was caring and very understanding and he knew I was not looking for sex, I was looking to date and possibly have a relationship with someone. That being said, a few days after we talked on Tinder, we met in Amesbury. We had drinks at a local Irish pub and when went to the park out back of the bar and talked and shared a few intimate kisses...nothing risqué. He was very charming and affectionate. He was really everything I was looking for, so we had a second date. We went to Salisbury beach at night and watched the tide come in, we walked and talked along the beach. It was so romantic, I loved every minute with him. After that night we talked a little but did not see each other again. Why? Because he texted me a week later saying that he needed a rebound because he broke up with his girlfriend the week before him and I met. He now does not need a rebound anymore because he found someone else. Seriously? Why can't you just be honest at the beginning? Do not make me fall for you and then tell me that you just needed to use me to get over someone! So rude.

Joel: One of my few Tinder dates! No wonder it is in this section. Wow, where do I start with this one. We met on Tinder, and he was definitely different than the rest of the guys on there as he was polite and engaging and he was just overall normal and not asking for random sex. After three or four days of talking we decided to go out to eat. I met him up in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We were supposed to go to Bugaboo Creek in Portsmouth but they had a water main break and therefore the restaurant was closed. So he said to hop into his car and he would drive us down the street to another restaurant that was really good. To this day I do not remember the restaurant name, but it was delicious.  We get to the restaurant and immediately he runs to the bar…without me. So I slowly follow up behind him. Apparently he knew a couple at the bar and wanted to say hi. Well “hi” took 15 minutes, and when they FINALLY asked who I was, he introduced me as his date, and mentioned it was our first date. Usually on a first date, you and the guy sit together and get to know each other and it is personal. Not this date. We sat at the bar with his friends and I learned a lot more about him than I ever wanted to know. But what’s worse, they weren’t even talking to me. I was just overhearing the stories. I was literally ignored for 30 minutes while these three reminisced about the “old times”. Luckily there was a football game on to keep me occupied. If I had my car, I probably would have walked out because it was so rude. When the couple that were initially at the bar left, that’s when my date FINALLY decided to include me in our date. We had a lovely meal and barely talked because I was pissed but I wanted to keep it civil. After dinner and a little talking he drove me back to my car where he decided to inform me that he is a genuine asshole. (face palm) Why would you EVER admit that to a girl you are on a date with!? Do men seriously think that we date assholes on purpose? After that I told him that I could not see him again as what he did on out date (ignoring me to talk to his friends) was unacceptable, and that him admitting and being proud that he is an asshole is a huge red flag. He got pissed and sped off into the night. I haven’t heard from him since. (Not surprising.)

        Jim: I honestly forgot about this guy until four years later; let me explain. I met Jim my junior year of college. We met on Plenty of Fish and we went on a few dates together. He was only in it for the sex, so he said all the right things, and did all the right things to get into my pants. It worked. He got into my pants. After he did that I never heard from him again…ever. Alright…interesting.  Fast forward four years, I am now living in Massachusetts, and have completely forgotten about him and no longer have his number in my phone. A message pops up on my phone while I was at work from a number that is not in my contacts. So I read it and it says “my heart feels better that you’re in good hands.” And under it, there is a picture of a women. I have never seen the woman ever, and I do not know who this person is texting me, so of course I am going to text back! So I text back “me too!” Unfortunately he did not want to play so he was like “sorry wrong Rachel” which creeped me out because I did not have this guy’s number in my phone, but he had my contact and my name. So I knew it had to be a guy I dated. I tried EVERYTHING to get to the bottom of who this guy was. It wasn’t until around lunch time when my sorority sister texted me the name “Jim _______?” (I’ll keep his privacy), and that is when it clicked. I have been thinking of something I could do to fuck with him a little bit now that I have his number and he said he was going to “lose” mine; although he didn’t lose it after 4 years so I don’t believe his bullshit.
