it started with someone’s okcupid experiment
Recently, a guy conducted an experiment. In short, this guy put up a fake profile pretending to be a very pretty 23-year old. He wanted to see how many men would still try to date her even when she came across as completely bat-shit-crazy in her written profile and during communication. You may have read …
you’re from where??
Why, oh why must the world play sick jokes on me? I recently met up with a guy from Match. We’d been emailing back and forth for awhile and he suggested we take it off-line. As I’m not necessarily ready to date, I headed into the meeting pretty ambivalent and unenthusiastic. I was not nervous. …
wink wink
So, 24-hours of having my profile active and I’ve only gotten 4 winks???? Shit, this is going to be a loooooooonnnnnggggg ride.
let the horror stories commence
So, I’ve done it…sacrificing myself for all your amusement. Because I feel the need to inflict more pain upon myself, I have re-signed on Match. KILL ME NOW. I’m not entirely sure I am ready for this, but kinda accidentally unhid my profile on Sunday while trying to update it. I hadn’t even gotten past …
dating – the good, the bad, and the ugly
It’s more difficult to find things to blog about when things are going well. We can all go on ad nauseam about what’s wrong with our lives, how our families are driving us up the wall, how we aren’t being appreciated at work, how last night’s date was the worst ever, how we had the …
miss-matched and now un-matched
I cancelled my Match membership. Well, I let it expire without renewal. It just wasn’t giving me the connections I’d hoped (though I am still in contact with one guy from it, St. Elmo). And I didn’t feel like spending the money for 3 or 6 months more. I’d rather spend the money elsewhere. So …
my latest dating adventures
I met a guy last night for drinks. He’s a Match guy. I winked at him, he winked and emailed back. We made plans to meet after a couple back and forth emails. I’m not sure what I should nickname him, so I’ll just stick with Mr. Staten Island, because that’s where he lives. He …

thanks for sharing, buh-bye
To paraphrase a fellow blogger, I was shopping for men. I came across this within the content of a profile of a very physically attractive man: I’ve spent the last two years recovering from a severe dependence on a sleep med. I’ve been a recluse for about three years (three years ago, I quit smoking …
re-establishing my requirements
What are your priorities in seeking a potential mate? Is your focus on looks? Does power and wealth drive the attraction? Is intelligence and a *beautiful mind* your #1 turn on? Does compassion and altruism melt your heart? Does passion for the arts rate above all? Can someone win you over with wit and humor? …
