I was considering keeping this one as one of the deep, dark secrets of my existence but then ultimately decided that it was humorous enough to be added to this blog.
I have joined okcupid. Embarrassing. I mean, maybe it's not as embarrassing as I assume it to be but it is one of those taboo subjects in our culture.
On-line dating, although it has become a far more common practice, is really only accepted by those who use on-line dating.
At this point I would like to throw out a disclaimer. I don't want a relationship, I don't plan on getting a boyfriend and I'm not going to go on and message all these random people.
So the question is, why am I using it at all?
I don't know.
Does entertainment purposes qualify as a good reason to use an on-line dating site? Not that I am sitting at my computer laughing at all these "potential suitors" (though I am laughing at some) it is entertaining enough to just look through random peoples profiles. It's like having access to the facebook profiles of strangers and then having an easy means to compare them to your own.
I can't really knock it. I know enough people who have used it and some who have found success on it, so whose to say I should be ducking my head in shame. In fact, I welcome all who care to look (and laugh) at my profile to go ahead and do so. My name is hairinthewind.
