I was first presented with the ominous process of creating a profile. The obvious questions crossed my mind, should I put my body type as curvy? or average? What tag line will get me attention without coming across as a complete whore? What pictures are good enough to attempt to get men to pay attention to me? I think after each page I filled out, I said to myself, "Stop! What are you doing? This is a bad idea." But then I would remind myself that it is 2012 and the days of meeting a decent guy at a bar are no longer reasonable and meeting someone at work is out of the question. So I persevered. Completing the profile as honest as I could be to a complete stranger and even more importantly, as honest as I could be with myself.
I have received three profile views. Since I still believe it is the man's responsibility to make initial contact, I am going to sit back and wait for a bit.
So far I have learned a couple of things.
1. I have a lot of things in common with the guys that I have seen so far. Hopefully that helps my chances.
2. I feel like people are filling out job applications, thinking "I am going to put the ideal on here, but I will consider other opportunities."
3. This is stressful.
