I have just realized that I have been on this site for over two years. Living in VA and now in NC, still haven't found anyone. But to be honest, I guess I haven't really been looking. But that is my cynical nature in me. There are times where I'm thinking, why even bother? But yet I still cling on to a small shread of hope that there is someone out there that gets who I am.

But bottom line, online dating sucks. And here is why:

The premium sites cost $$$$$$$. So of course those sites work, because both you and the chosen cyber mate can’t afford to keep the search going.

————————————————

Man: Well I have spent 50 bucks a month on finding someone with lowered expectations to date me. And the dating alone is $$$. Popcorn isn’t cheap. Lets just call it a win and just make it official on our Facebook relationship status. Agreed?

Woman: Agreed.

Both change their status from single to in a relationship and lived happily, but mostly contently,ever after.

———————————————-

Now of course there are the free sites like OkCupid. But there is a reason for it being called OkCupid and not TheBestCupidHiredEver. Because that would, you guessed it, cost $$$$$ and some change.

———————————————-

Woman: I am going to pour my heart and soul into this FREE profile. I’m going to take pictures of myself in abstract angles to show off my best features, like my eyes and hair. I hope that there is a dashing man that is funny, sensitive, well mannered, and has a good career. Oh and someone that loves my personalty and thinks I’m the prettiest woman alive!

Man: I’m going to be vague on my profile to seem mysterious and I’m also going to not look at the camera when I take my picture for my profile. And hopefully I’ll find a super model woman who loves to cook for me and loves to play video games with and doesn’t mind if I’m better then her because I am a guy and all. And also she has to be gorgeous and a freak in the bed. But if all she has is just a personalty then maybe I can just get a way with getting a blow job.

———————————————-

Now I can’t be knocking online dating too much. I have actually seen relationships blossom because of them. In fact my best friend found someone and they are now married. I’m so happy for her. And the guy is fantastic. They both make a lovely couple. But when she insisted on me signing up for this site (Zoosk.com) I thought, why not? I could find a diamond in the rough. But of course I did not. Just a bunch of men that send messages saying ‘wud up hun’ or simply ‘yo’. Needless to say, I never comply with any of them. And I discard any other messages from there on out on that site. But could I be missing out? Would it seem like I had lowered expectations if I kept looking on dating sites like that?

What ever happened to chivalry?

In the times we live now, we expect too much from a relationship. Girls want the guy who runs through an airport to give them one last kiss goodbye, or guys want the girl who lives next door who is a porn star but would only sex it up for them. Movies, music and books gives everyone a false sense of finding the right one and deflates their confidence on finding love in their lives. And because of that lack of confidence, we turn to hiding behind a screen and have an ‘OkCupid’ assist in finding that right one who is also full of self doubt.

Again, this is my cynical side of me. This can not be healthy.

I would be very suprised if anyone would read all of this nonsense. lol​
