Although the hottest guy I've yet been on a date with said he wrote me BECAUSE of the feminist content, so that's nice.

Oh I just remembered, I got this gem of a message the other day, unbidden:
"i am guessing you grew up in the states, you are interesting but that might be the deal breaker"

lol oh man that's the kind of thing my ex would say, long diatribes about how terrible American dating culture and American women are.

long diatribes about how terrible American dating culture and American women are.
American dating culture is pretty terrible, though, isn't it? I mean, this thread.

idk any other culture's dating culture to compare. i'd imagine they're all kind of shitty?

You've got a point there.

if you hate dating American women, then... maybe you just hate women and American women don't like that
― have a nice blood (mh), Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:10 (ten years ago) link
You can't just hate the process of dating, obviously.

Always makes me sad to think about how I might have blocked/hid a potential soulmate on OKC because she had put "Little Miss Sunshine" in her favorite movies

I'm not on OKCupid, and the movie's not out here yet, but I used a phone app to suggest to a girl that we see Grand Budapest Hotel in May, and she said yes

can't believe you'd diss ned/morbs like that

the question is, do you have the guts to actually put that in your profile? NO BIKES, NO LIKES
― Nhex, Friday, 14 March 2014 02:49 (ten years ago) link
I did for a while but I like to change it up--it used to say, "You should like to ride bikes, do things, and eat foods" but then I realized I was obliquely referencing my exes of that year and it felt too reactionary.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 14 March 2014 02:59 (ten years ago) link
hmmmmm.
― Nhex, Friday, 14 March 2014 03:06 (ten years ago) link
Your exes didn't like to eat foods?
― Vinnie, Friday, 14 March 2014 13:53 (ten years ago) link
One of them literally had nothing in his fridge except bean sprouts and two avocados and like three eggs--ever.

He also complained about being fat a lot. Body dysmorphic disorder is a thing, y'all.

lol i read this and was like "damn that sounds like a great meal"
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Friday, 14 March 2014 14:14 (ten years ago) link
it doesn't sound unreasonable if you get a little more specific like "go out to dinner occasionally" and "leave the house", "do things" and "eat food" sounds kinda funny
― Nhex, Friday, 14 March 2014 14:26 (ten years ago) link
I have dated some...different people. That I probably should not have.

Ugh one morning that guy served me a mango for breakfast. Y'all might be into that but they make my mouth numb and I am HANGRY in the morning.

I only really ever make breakfast on special occasions and there's no way I'd be comfortable doing so for a guest if I hadn't pre-planned. I think I'd probably offer to go out to eat or possibly you'd get a granola bar or yogurt if you're lucky.

I messaged someone who okcupid sent me a link to because I thought I saw her at a concert last week. So, uh, I asked if she had been to any concerts lately. She confirmed she was at that show and said something about how she's going to bonnaroo this year and I haven't messaged back yet. Is messaging "oh that's nice" after four days bad?

I've always been kind of curious, and would not mind hearing opinions about, the extent to which listing one's sobriety may or may not ward people off. While I've determined I'm undateable in any case, whether by being cursed or by natural repulsion, I get paranoid that people automatically give me a pass upon seeing "Drinks: Not at all." While it doesn't help that I'm not conventionally "fun" in general, I wouldn't be surprised if mid-20s people care that much about drinking.

Or rather, if not drinking becomes automatically associated with judgemental prudishness?
