Was on here for a few months and gradually realized that there is no way that I can appropriately judge any man that's on this website. I guess, to me, relationships develop as a gradual building of "getting to know someone"; learning the small things about the other person and valuing our relationship more and more as a result; discovering something new every time we see each other and looking forward to the next time and the time after that. An evolution of sorts. This environment forced to make an almost split-second judgment on people and be judged in the same way solely on how much can be packed into a one-/two-page profile and that is not healthy or realistic in any way. This is not how I wanted to treat people or be treated. I might be back but for now I just wanted to leave this here...

Not being on okcupid. Here's to hoping you see me on the street one day and say hello and we strike up a random conversation about something weird and then we think "this is a sign!" and we fall madly in love with each other and have thousands of babies.

Knowing what's good for me and when I need to put the machine down and smell the whatever it is that we're breathing here in NYC.

That I look like a lady that knows what she wants but I just realized that being on okcupid is trying way too hard for my comfort level.

I was at Barnes and Noble today and a guy tried to yank the book I was reading (The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I think) out of my hands and, although it was creepy, I realized the value and beauty of human interaction that are not sought out, planned, or organized.

Human behavior. There's either too much of it here to really appreciate or maybe too little of it to really matter.

I'm probably wrong.

Don't. I won't respond. But by all means approach me if you see me out there in the analog world.
