OKC

Prior to tonight the only time you would ever hear me say "OKC" is in reference to the Oklahoma City Thunder. But since I've been told by numerous people that I need to physically insert my ass into the dating pool of NYC I signed up for OKCupid (again, I did it once and I lasted 3 days before I deleted that shit).

I stand by the fact that I expect to turn a corner and have Mr. Man of my Daydreams bump into me and fall madly in love with my looks/charm/humor/all-around-persona. BUT obviously my life is not a RomCom and I have to take matters into my own hands. SO FINE, I listened—and once again I am terrified of this online dating shit. 

Anyways here is my first (second) impression:

  • How come everyone I'm clicking is in Brooklyn and has a beard?
  • Fuck, this dude looks hairy. I don't know if I can handle that.
  • Pass. 
  • Pass.
  • Pass.
  • He has ONE good photo, his others are wack. Dammit, I fell for the bait.
  • I only clicked this one cause I like his haircut.
  • I'm pretty sure this one doesn't get a haircut on a regular basis.
  • I don't like the way his clothes fit.
  • What the fuck does that quote on his profile mean? Sorry… Hella deep.
  • Investment banker? NOPE. No, not doing that again. 
  • I'm pretty sure this guy has no idea who Schoolboy Q is.
  • This guy is good-looking, we probably have nothing in common. *Clicks anyway*
  • WHY? Why did I do this again?

And then I logged out, disappointed.

Its not that I have high expectations for OKC, I actually have none. Zero, promise. I just don't want to dedicate any further time to something I am so skeptical about. For a girl who sees herself as pretty optimistic, I have no faith in online dating.

But who knows… maybe my profile can just sit there and a message from someone interesting will magically appear. I DOUBT THAT. But like I said… here is *me inserting my ass into the dating pool of NYC.*

Fuck. Wish me luck.
