OkCupid is gone. Two days and 35 messages and 117 profile views later and I couldn't take it anymore. For one I started to feel like shit when someone I thought was cute and visited my profile but didn't send me a message. For two I found my inner vainness growing each time someone that I didn't find attractive at all rated me only a four star out of five. My Internet ego got the best of me, by all means I do not think I am all that and a bag of potato chips (which sound totally delicious right now! Buffalo blue kettle chips and a code red mt. Dew.... Drool) but for a second there I really found myself getting upset because I hand picked each picture that played up my best assets and did not feature my worse except for my large noggin that can't be minimized but it can be photos at the right angle to look normal size and yet I was given a star rating below the expectations I didn't know I had.
I had to finally say "ok" when asked if I really wanted to delete my profile because getting rejected online, flattering although creepy messages and having to sell myself online by filling out a long profile and answering 50 multiple choice questions and lying about my height and weight and post classy yet sexy yet fun and adorable pictures of yourself, I'd rather stand near a bar and sip a dirty martini leaving red lipstick along the rim while arching my back and purring much more subtle than filling a profile full of buzz words and trying not to sound desperate by saying hey pick me! I will stick to picking up guys in the Apple store and Dragon*Con when it rolls around each year I prefer a man in costume anyways, a costume I can actually feel that is.
