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.
