Life Is A Dumpster Fire

I get these comments, waves, likes, and swipe rights. And it never ceases to amaze me when I go to their profiles and read them. I know that humans are visual creatures, both men and women, and they see a picture and say “yes.” Still, It is apparent that people are not dating with intention because they are obviously not reading anything I wrote.

One of my qualifiers is that I am not interested in having kids. It’s not just my age because it has been like this forever. At one point, I had written more predominately about it. One of the first dates I went on was with a guy who spent his whole time trying to convince me that I was wrong (See my first Internet date).

Another qualifier is being on the liberal side, have a graduate degree, and read a lot of books. Now I can be open-minded; however, it is difficult to sit through a date where a person makes multiple comments about those liberal hippies and intellectuals.

Finally, suppose a person writes they are spiritual, not religious. In that case, it should probably deter anyone that states, “ I put God first” or “I am looking for a traditional relationship with a submissive woman who puts god first.” I will go out on a limb and say we are not made for each other.

I had an interesting exchange with a man. He said that I wrote to much on my profile. Guys won’t read it all and I really need to just tell the story of who I am with pictures. All I could think is does my profile need to read like a children’s  book.

“See Spot”

“See Spot run”

“See Dick”

See Dick be a dick”
