four days running

I deleted my OKCupid account today, after what must be the fiftieth woman messaged me that I would never go out with. I don't need this kind of negative reinforcement, thanks.
Facebook and Myspace are on the cusp too. One I never really use, and the other is just a duplicate for almost everyone I know (except for one person I have no business talking to ever).
Livejournal stays, because I've been here forever, and I'm not limited to 140 characters per post (you go to hell, twitter.)

History tells me there is a light at the end of the tunnel. So I will listen to history, and not my head, even though this tunnel is black as pitch. There are things crawling in it.

As I said, I did know what you were getting at.

If people I'm unattracted to make known their interest in me, I don't think it affects my sense of who I am, even before I was in a long term committed relationship and still looking. The only thing that made/makes me uncomfortable is when somebody is persistent after I've communicated my lack of interest/unavailability, but that's their problem, not the result of anything I did or am.

"It doesn't affect my sense of who I am."

That is where you and I are different.
