Hate to say it, but 3 stars looks about right for Will.
Amazon Dating!
You know, you write a headline like that, you’re gonna get people’s hopes up that it’s a way to meet hot Themiscyran singles who are down for some casual fun without giving you a whole lecture about the evils of “Man’s World” or vengeful Greek gods showing up halfway through your date.
Don’t toy with my feelings.
Reading the reviews will be, um, entertaining.
This is not exactly a new idea…
How could all these people possibly have free one-hour shipping?
IKR
Guaranteed fresh?
You mean me and the love of my life can be “shipped” and “fulfilled” by Amazon?
I’m all for it, spread misery Bezos, you’re number one, sometimes…
P.S. as if Bezos needed more money…
So is it a good sign or a bad sign if your potential date has a large number of reviews by verified purchasers?
“Used, like new.”
“Size not as advertised.”
Slight patina, with verifiable history. That’s my byline…
This reminds me that a friend placed a singles advert with “Rusty, but in all the right places” as his opener on Match / ? some such dating site. BTW: His first name is Rusty…
I was hoping it was an app that would help hook me up with Amazons.
I did know you were that picky?
Everyone has their types, man.
My weight lifting team has possible matches for you, what’s my cut?
So, it’s going to have a really bad search engine, and most of them will have to be returned due to quality issues?
Gosh, you went all Negative Nelly, what prior experience with Amazon makes you say that?
