Surveys on strange kinds of human interaction

Jun 24, 2008 21:57

I used to talk shit about the whole idea of dating websites; it's like a market, it's weird,
why can't people just settle with what they have, even if that is basically nothing (on the subject of dating)? there are plenty of other things to do, besides hooking up with someone...

So after being accused of speaking with nothing to back me up (which is a lie, to begin with), I went ahead and populated the fields with data on a profile, (I was pretty honest too.)

Even though I didn't learn anything to help changing my "very judgmental opinion", I was on the other end somewhat surprised with a few things:
I had forgotten how to behave in my own gender, (and quickly reminded that it really doesn't matter... )
In general, friendship is either meaningless and/ or a mask for people in these settings.
Friends of friends are just like the rest of the people, when you don't know them yourself.

At any rate, I closed my account; it was overall a fun experience, but more time consuming than what would be reasonable for me.
I still haven't decided if it is a good or a bad thing that I'm rather inapt at the whole thing.
Now, back to work and things I'm really good at...
