So as some of you know I’m tentatively testing out the big scary world of online dating. I’ve been on OkCupid for probably less than 24 hours and I already feel exhausted by the whole thing! I started off all optimistic… there are plenty of guys out there, it’s a big pond, plenty more fish and initially it seemed like there were lots of guys. Great I thought as I enthusiastically answered the questions and added images of myself skiing and snowboarding in an attempt to demonstrate my properly well-rounded (not in the physical sense) self.
But I’ve had so many generic messages from people that it’s blatantly apparent that I have nothing in common with, so much so I literally can’t see the wood for the trees! I was brought up to not be rude, but it’s so clear that these guys are just messaging everyone that there’s no way on earth I’m going to respond and that’s without mentioning the “gentleman” *cough* who was looking for someone to dominate him (and then some…).
I’ve also had to google the word “whooty” not being familiar with it, one particular opening question “hey are you a whooty?”. Which with the power given to me by the Urban Dictionary I can tell you is a “a white girl who has a pretty face, a nice slim waist, and a voluptuously large, bountiful, beautiful booty”. Apologies to those who already knew the meaning but glad we got that one cleared up and no I’m not going to move forward referring to myself as a whooty.
How on earth do you pick through all of this? Do the nasty, offensive chat up lines really work sometimes for some people? Seriously?
The advice from my welcome message from OC was that I should make the first move, which is a little scary but maybe that is the way forward, I need to be properly proactive and get some conversations going with people who don’t look like serial killers.
I’m going to try and maintain some of my previous optimism, it’s early days, surely there’s someone out there like me…there’s just too many frogs croaking in the way right now.
Keep your fingers crossed for me still!
