OK ladies, Please tell me I'm not completely blowing this out of the water!! If I am, I'll blame it on PMS eventually
The whole online dating thing is the current craze, and while I myself have not participated, all of my single friends - both guy/girl, straight/gay have been opening accounts, and then conferring with me about the "potentials" they see. What is REALLY getting my goat is the guys ( the only ones I've seen guilty of this thus far), while they are not the model "in shape, non couch potato" build as can be seen by their profile pictures, turn right around and in their ad they list their "ideal" as a pretty much a supermodel. The kicker is when I end up hearing from some of the guys about how they're not getting any responses, the smart aleck in me wants to say " You know why? Because there just NO SUCH THING as the "perfect" woman you are looking for! She Doesn't exist!"
Because I personally am NOT a 110 lb 5'7 blond bombshell, and I don't care to be, I focus so much more on a person's personality than their looks because I know that I would hope someone would do the same for me, instead of glancing over just because I happen to be comfortable with myself and not try to fit the so called "mold". If these people who are posting ads of themselves expect people to focus solely on their personality because according to current societal standards they might be viewed as "less than attractive" for whatever reason, they need to return the favor.

I don't know if it's just me today, or if just seeing something today sparked this in me, but I dunno. I haven't dated in over 2 and a half years, and haven't really had a desire to because I haven't met anybody who's sparked my mind and my interest enough to make me interested. What I wouldn't give right now for an available friend, oh well.
