Technically speaking I have been an OkCupid member since May. I signed up because my college roommate and long time friend had moved to the Big Apple and used the site to meet people, and I was struggling with meeting worthy men/guys/boys I was curious. After the 3rd week of sorting through messages indlucing everything from "hey girl" to "heres my address come blow me" I was over it and disabled it. I could push my curosity past its infant stages and actually grow a pair and become 1 of 5 people to start a relationship online (thanks Match.com for my statistics). Then the whole Sock Dude Sex on the First Date thing happened I committed to online dating and my adventures began.
Building my profile was like going on an effing job interview. I want to know why people who like the same movies and food groups get along so well. Maybe my soul mate loves Jackie Chan movies while I am a Bruce Lee fanatic? Regardless the preselected questions in which I tried my hardest to take seriously ended up being sarcastic humors answers that I don't even know if I would pick from a list. I would even say that I am above average flirter but how in the world do I make guys want to date me through a computer screen?Yea I have no idea. Needless to say my about me goes a little bit like this:
"I'm that girl that everyone tells their secrets to. Relatively feisty yet a good listener. Born in Denver but consider myself California grown. Tend to be loud and I am one that believes in no shame hence my above par confidence level. Avid believer of karma and owning up to your actions. I speak fluent sarcasm and am a college graduate due to my fine bull shitting abilities. Honesty is something I value, and am as straight forward as they come. Fortune cookies make me laugh. My horoscope is freakishly accurate all the time . My memory is spot on, and I frequently win bets because of it. I don't do well with organized religion kudos to you if you do but i'll take a pass. I have an extreme fetish for Tejava and ChapStick. Lastly I make snap judgements and am usually right, so if you use Colgate toothpaste you are already in the negative"
My biggest shock on this whole online dating thing is gentleman just because you are behind a computer screen it does not mean you can be rude. Just because I am blonde, fun, and cute does not mean I am dumb so quit asking me to qualify myself to you. Chances are I wouldn't even date you anyways. My favorite message ever an average Joe called my poor, desperate, lonely, and cute. Ok you wonder why you are single? Now I know why people pay to be on these sites the free ones are filled with pedophiles, men who live with their mothers, and people with no social skills.
For some reason my no bullshit sarcasm is appealing to a very slim margin of guys I would even remotely consider dating. You know what they say you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, at the moment online dating is only handing me more frogs.
