Good evening all!
I just got home from the office, poured myself a glass of CabSav, and felt inspired to write a new post. Specifically, in response to the 100+ messages/woos/etc. I've received over the past... week. I'm new to this online dating thing so I'm a little bit overwhelmed. Not to mention I'm disoriented by the fact that the okcupid inbox isn't more Gmail-like. I need labels! Or at least some way to flag a message for follow-up. Geez.
Anyway, contrary to the way it might have seemed in prior posts, most of my experience with this site has been positive. People are very sweet and often very witty. There are a TON of messages that I haven't had a chance to respond to (but intend to/want to) so please don't take my silence as a slight. In the mean time, I have a couple of requests for everyone who has tried/wants to exchange some messages with me.
1. Put it in an email
I created a special new email for this purpose -- thedionysienne@gmail.com. Have something to say other than "sup sexi"? Put a link to your okcupid profile in the message and I'll check out your profile.
2. Attach some pictures to that email
I can completely understand the hesitance to post high-resolution face/body shots on the interwebs. It's just plain weird. But if you'd like to move beyond "admiring from afar", I really need to see more photos of you. Not that I'm particularly superficial, it's just hard to make out what's going on in that grainy night-vision-looking jpeg. And for goodness sake, PLEASE no nude photos. Thanks.
3. "Woo"s are weird. Take another route.
If this emailing business is simply too much, then at least send me a message. Or... just call it a day.
That's all for now...
