Omg, how strange. You were openly pregnant and I was secretly pregnant and you were the first person I told, due to your experience with pregnancy.

Haha, I think you can wear whatever you want; they're not judgmental at all and they treat you so nicely there however you're dressed. I'll try to step it up a bit though, just for fun.

aaaaaand i reactivated my profile today, added a few pictures, edited a sentence or two. but i think i'm going to kind of be ultra-relaxed about it and only check it if i get a message or something. if it happens to work, that's great, and if nothing happens, no big whoop.

48-Year-Old Man Actually Very Open To Dating 25-Year-Olds

I would like someone to write a profile for me, which I could then modify. I asked Jenny but I'm not sure she's into it. Is this a bad idea? I've written a number of these things and it's always the same crap and I'd like a fresh starting point.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:08 (twelve years ago) link
I was in a very honest and confident mood a few weeks ago and wrote up some new material. I may locate it and update sometime!
― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:08 (twelve years ago) link
What can a profile really say about a person? It seems like there is nothing I can write that would give any impression of who I am or what I am looking for in a person. Is it like how job interview questions are less about the substance of the answer than how the answer is given?
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:14 (twelve years ago) link
Rhetorical questions, mostly. Not actually grilling you/y'all.
that is pretty existential, dunno what you're looking for. can a person really ~understand~ you after one or two dates, either?
― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
Just thinking aloud, musing I guess. But the thing is, when you meet a person in person you have enormous amounts of sensory information that you don't have from a profile. Seems like 1 minute in person is worth a whole OKC profile.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
I got a lot of response from a hook-up site when on a whim I changed my headline to "Mr. Right plz to come here." Actually got a couple dates, and one guy mentioned the headline.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:20 (twelve years ago) link
OK. Laurel and I are meeting at Bemelman's Tuesday night around 7. Who is in? On to Subway after, around 8, 8:30ish.
The thought of re-instating my profile fills me with dread. Yeah, I can judge a person with 1 second of meeting them.
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 13 February 2012 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
Jesse--I could try and write your profile. I would need some info from you tho:)
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 13 February 2012 03:50 (twelve years ago) link
I wish I could just say to all the single boys on ILX "anyone wanna go on a date with me?". itd be so much easier than this poopy OKC crap.
― thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Monday, 13 February 2012 03:54 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, are there many in your hemisphere?
I almost felt inebriated enough for a moment to re-load my profile, but then I got distracted by the Grammys.
I'm over wishy-washy dating; I'm ready for mutual attraction. Does that still exist?
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 13 February 2012 04:01 (twelve years ago) link
VP that might work though I'll have to let you know when the booze has left my system.
Trayce, I would totally accept a date w/ you except for the matter of sexual orientation.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 04:53 (twelve years ago) link
Jesse, we could exchange deets and write each others' profiles. Comedic hijinks ensue.
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 13 February 2012 05:02 (twelve years ago) link
VP: no thats the problem ;_;

i'm back in OKC land and am grabbing a drink with someone on Tuesday. tmi but this is my first ever date with someone who is bi
― Z S, Monday, 13 February 2012 05:04 (twelve years ago) link
I have a terrible confession - after dating a bi guy I am somewhat bi-phobic. Sorry.
ZS have you ever had a threesome?
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:07 (twelve years ago) link
nope
and shit, just realized the drink with someone on tuesday is...valentine's day. that kind of ruins my plan of setting a new solo drinking record and then passing out with my shoes on
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man I'm sorry I asked. It feels like I asked my brother that question.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago) link
oh, no big deal
i mean this thread is de-indexed (right?) so who cares.
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:11 (twelve years ago) link
Only thing I learned from OKC was that if someone says they're mentally ill on there, it's a good idea to believe them.
― Bryan, Monday, 13 February 2012 05:13 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like i could trust a female bi person more. that might be fucked up and sexist. it was just weird for me b/c there was a very, very sexually aggressive woman pursuing me who he encouraged me to fuck so that he could get a chance to be w/ a woman.
anyway, good luck and keep your mind open i guess.
that sounds discouraging but i mean it.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:18 (twelve years ago) link
Why does the fact someone's bi always lead to questions about threesomes and/or infidelity risks? It bugs me.
― thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:22 (twelve years ago) link

― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 13 February 2012 05:46 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry Trayce. Unfortunately the bi guy I dated was also an asshole, which I should remember when thinking of bi people.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Monday, 13 February 2012 16:08 (twelve years ago) link
FWIW many of the str8 dudes I've dated were assholes with issues around infidelity + desires for threesomes so YMMV.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Monday, 13 February 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
fwiw I have dated women who were kind of jerks and also had infidelity / threesome desire crap
― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 13 February 2012 16:32 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah but were they straight ot bi? The point is when str8 ppl suck at relationships it's accepted that it's bcuz they're assholes. When bi ppl suck at relationships it's evidence that bisexuality is at fault. Which is hypocrisy land.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Monday, 13 February 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Je55e, you definitely need to concentrate on the 'he was an asshole' part rather than the 'he was bi' part. The two aren't really related.
