throw rocks at them!
Aug. 1st, 2004 03:21 pmDeleted my profile from the couple of matchmaking sites I had joined, having realized that I prefer taking my chances in real life to constantly fending off the functionally illiterate. Besides, the number of completely average men who think they're All That just blows my little mind.
To be fair, I know beautiful, interesting men who think they're average. My twin's sweetie springs to mind. Even PrettyButUseless doesn't realize how gorgeous he is. (Though I suspect he suspects. :-)) But in general, as I think I've noted before, men have an inflated sense of self-esteem, while women have a deflated one. It sucks and makes me angry.
The problem is that my real life is mostly lived in my house. I don't know where to meet acceptable boys. I thought the matchmaking sites might help, but obviously they failed to lead me to anyone even remotely acceptable. There's always the goth club, but I think I've pretty much sampled all that scene has to offer. SIGH.
I'll probably give up completely and then crash right into him someday when I'm trying to figure out how long it would take one of my characters to walk to Queen Anne from the locks.
One can only hope. :)
