As opposed to what? The idea in your butt?

Ahhhh the world of dating and on-line dating. It so blows to have to date.

I recently tried the world of on-line dating because it is so hard for me to meet guys on a normal basis. I'm pretty shy when I go out and more comfortable around my friends so to approach someone outside my comfort zone is very difficult. Hence I attempted the world of on-line dating. I had a few dates here and there but no one who really excited me. Worse even the guys that I have started speaking to via on-line seem to only want to have one type of conversation either via IM or Phone. Sorry dudes, but I'm not about to talk sex with someone I don't know! I've also received e-mails from some of these men with photos of their privates. EWWWWWWWW!!! Like I want to see that? So I dumped the whole on-line dating thing. I will say that it does work for some people. Especially the MC board. Seems like everyone is getting married to each other over there!

As for the SERIAL dating scene, though I hate to serial date I have learned that there is no other way to date unless you serial date. When I was young I would've never considered it. In fact, I never actually "dated". I met someone and would become their "girlfriend". Now that I'm much older and much wiser I've found that I don't necessarily need to be someone's girlfriend to date them. Dating is like shoe shopping. Or even better "dating is like a job interview with cocktails" (Carrie in Sex & the City). You have to "serial" date until you find someone who you are truly interested in and the chemistry is right. In other words, a good fit.

My new way to meet guys is to go to every social/networking event I can find. What I've found at these networking type things is that you can meet someone and talk comfortably about you're work, where you live, and some where in the conversation you talk about your single status. I've actually met one or two guys this way and I've only done it twice.

Of course neither of them panned out either!

sigh....

I'm convinced that porn is twisting socially-inept guys' views of relationships (making them even more socially inept). Through porn, they develop this image in their mind of what "their" woman should be like, and what a guy should do to catch a woman's interest. And as we all know, it's WAY REMOVED from reality.

Lonely men should be watching chick flicks, not porn. (Well, except when they get REALLY lonely hehehe)

In my neck of the woods, it's anime that has this effect on guys. Or at least guys I used to know in the lame ass social circles in which I once moved. Seriously. Dozens upon dozens of pathetic, lumpy, jobless white males who are waiting for their anime princess to float off the page or screen and into their bed. And then they drool anytime a petite Asian girl walks by because in their minds that ethnicity goes hand-in-hand with whatever stereotyped behavior they're seeking.
