four days running

[jchrisobrien]

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.

It sounds more like the Universe saying: "OKCupid is not the right medium. Try another angle."

Does anyone still use Nerve? I only got as far as a couple of hand-shake ending dates, but I have other friends who met their spouses there.

Frankly, Chemistry is an issue for *anyone* and on *any* online dating site. No matter how hot or how much in common two people have in profiles, meeting in person is a different story altogether. But I will say that online dating gave me the perspective and cahones to open my mind to people outside my comfort zone, which led to finding exactly what I wanted so much faster (though not online).

Good luck in wherever the search takes you next.

Of all the people I was interested in, or messaged with, NONE of them were Gothy types. So the entire experinece with OKCupid involved me "broadening" my horizons. The fire spinning community was the same way. Nothing panned out there either.

It really feels like the Universe is saying. "Settle. Put aside your pride and take what you can get."
