YIKES! Is this what senior citizen dating is like???

This guy says he only speaks a little English, but then he says he's from Texas? (Well, on the other hand, I can actually believe that—have you heard our president speak?) Regardless, he sounds like a mail-order groom who translated Swahili into English on the Internet. Sounds like an invitation for something really seedy and raunchy. It's either that, or a scam to tap into my bank account. SHADY. What a freakin' nut.
