a friend encouraged me to sign up a few times. i did so a few times on that plenty of fish website which is so limiting because i am either gay or i am straight. i am likely more gay than straight. okcupid is much more visually appealing layout and i can be bisexual (though i don't like that term because it is still limiting and inaccurate descriptor) has thoughtful questions to prompt and present ourselves in this digital-verse.
why i suck at online dating:
1. i get bored, i'm impatient, it feels like i'm weirdly browsing kijiji
2. i forget my password
3. i don't put up a photo
4. i much prefer meeting people in person, and making friends in the awkward and intense way that i do
i sent a message to a really cool boy who is into feminism and i asked him:
What direction do you see feminism taking? How do you bring feminism into your practice/day-to-day?
he wrote back to me and i am thrilled by his detailed structure and beginning with his platform definition of feminism
that is an excellent start to capturing my mind and heart. and i want to befriend him, intensely. i'll just ask him if we can be friends.
if i was strictly straight as an arrow as opposed to queer, would i have greater selection and chances to meeting a compatible, long-term, partner? why can't i recall that self? (that self always moved along a queer path, damn it).
meh, love is love.
loving makes me feel so alive.
