Testing out the journal, but I thought I'd mention some of the things that annoy me on profiles:

"I'm not like other people"

Unless you have an identical twin, of course you're not like other people.  You have your very own genes, almost a whole tenth of a percent different from the billions of people who share many of your interests and physical characteristics.

"I'm not your average boy/girl"

Probably not.  But I bet you fall within the standard deviation.

"I probably won't message you/I'm not in to online dating"

Then why are you here?  And don't tell me it's for the tests, because you didn't have to fill out your profile to take them. Or was that just to make our actual users self-conscious?  To conceal your own private desperation?  

Don't do things half-assed.  Jesus.

"I have an IQ of xxx"

Awesome.  You have five minutes to list, in reverse alphabetical order, all known life-supporting planets on which people care.

"Most people don't understand me."

We should instantly delete anyone who types this sentence or something like it, because it means the person is still in high school, and lying about their age.

---

That should do it for now.  I must say that after the tens of thousands of profiles I've seen over the last couple of years at this job, I'm happier with the human race than you might think. This might just be because I'm not a 20-something girl and I don't get accosted with messages inviting me to get raped.  

Why won't this goddamn button work?

...annnnnnd it sucks.

In response to
Happy With Me (WIP) by youre_in_my_web:

Breathe in so deep



Close my eyes and count to ten



It's all I can do when I start to hear your voice in my head



Took all your pictures down



Read all of your old letters



Threw them out one by one



But I still don't feel any better







We always said forever



But I guess I should have known



That would never be the way we would end



So I guess I have just another friend







Why couldn't you stay?



Why couldn't you just say



That you would love me anyway, anyway



Why couldn't you be



Happy with me?



Now all I have are these fading memories







You always made it seem



That you wanted me



But how can that be



When all you wanted was to leave



Everything I see here reminds me of you



And all of the things we used to do



And it doesn't help me get through this







Why couldn't you stay?



Why couldn't you just say



You would love me anyway, anyway



Why couldn't you be



Happy with me?



Now all I have are these fading memories







Why couldn't you stay?



Why couldn't you just say



You would love me anyway, anyway



Why couldn't you be



Happy with me?
