Most people do not romanticize or seek to emulate Bukowski although I know at least one person who does. Bukowski lived a life that I wouldn't like to trade places with which is what makes him interesting. I can only read about so many scientists and thinkers who lived their lives beyond reproach all day every day.

Sounds like you’ve never experienced the joys of online dating.

Be thankful for this

How's Bukowski related to online dating?

Possibly he is referring to constant rejection and feeling worthless. Although, Henry Chinaski was getting laid a lot.

No not quite. I’ve just seen an awful lot of quotes from a few of his books and poems used almost like strange personal affirmations in dating profiles.
