Dating midterms

May 13, 2010

Am I the only one who finds the distinction between "short-term" and "long-term" dating on the interests checklist simply bizarre?  My casual observation is that 99% of profiles check both or neither.  Probably more nines than that, actually.

I mean, what, you're going to specify?  "I'd like to date, but only if you can promise that you are(n't) going to dig me enough to maintain a relationship for N months, up front."  Bweh?  The long-term only option is particularly weird.  How would you figure _that_ was going to work?

"Look, I'm sorry, this isn't working out, it's not you, it's me."

"Suck it up, buttercup, you signed up for long-term.  Or don't you *remember the contract*?"

"Whoops, forgot about that.  *My bad*.  So...how's Italian sound tonight?"

It's annoying that OkCupid keeps killing both Firefox AND Safari, but now you've gone and killed my browser while I was filling out the Type of Gay Guy test, and now I will NEVER KNOW WHAT VARIETY OF GAY MAN I AM!! Curse you, OkCupid! ::shakes fist::
