Online Dating...aka life of a single guy

Hey, in the end...it's a meat market. With feelings mixed in for spice.

People want what they want...and the click with who they click.
So you have the burden of both having to look for someone you like (who likes you)...and be looked at by said other people.
Then there's actually having to like each other over time...and interactions...and feelings...a whole other challenge.

Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's random, sometimes it's by intent.

But you have to put yourself out there...Yes, it's a PITA at times. No, it's not fair.

But unless you want someone else deciding for you. (and they DO do that other places in the world) you've got to deal...and dive in. (or be alone)
Or somehow they invent total brain syncing globally and a thing to sync people together. (but that would be another problem...)

But it's a volume game, just like job hunting. (and what Borla said)
You make up your resume. (real or not), put yourself out there (to one or many), hopefully you get a hit.
If you do...you present yourself...they ask you questions, if you're smart you ask questions yourself.
You interact...hopefully you click...then, you've got a job (date)

Then there's the whole matter of making the thing work.
And if it doesn't, then you better hope there's more out there (and many to choose from) ...and you go through the whole thing again.

Online dating is just like online job hunting. Being online only increases the volume and expedites the matter.
You've got to find something you want, something "doable"...and someone who wants you.

The only difference is one wants your skills...the other wants your body. (which is which, I'm not tellin' )
