Lonely Hearts

This poem is comes across as a very odd poem to me. I feel like the speaker is searching for a new love on eHarmony in each stanza. What is ironic about the whole poem is that the speaker isn't searching for a gorgeous blonde-haired beauty who is skinny with tanned skin or a muscular manly man with a perfect smile. The speaker is explaining people who would almost be considered outcasts in our society. If there is such thing as "normal", these people explained would not be a part of it. This could mean two different things. Either the speaker is picky with their choice of "lover" or they are desperate. I think that the speaker is desperate because of the title "Lonely Hearts." When people have a lonely heart, they will do anything to make it feel whole again.
