Ugh

I try, every once in a while, to go onto the online dating site to see if there's anyone there I'd be interested in getting to know.

I'm sure I've talked about it before but it's a fairly painful process for me for a number of reasons and I generally don't last longer than a few minutes these days before I feel completely disheartened and log back off.

Yes, I have chatted with two attractive, interesting guys that I originally found on the site but those profiles are few and far between. 

I suppose some of it may have to do with my age sliding ever upwards and this meaning the age of those I'm considering dating also sliding upwards, but the online dating profile system forces me to judge via the provided photographs, and that in and of itself is a bumpy ride.  Once I've picked my way past the beer holding, "sexy" lady kissing, this is my truck leaning guys, I'm left with a very few... and it's on to their written profiles.

Where I come across seemingly nice, decent looking guys who have profiles that start with "If you're a petite Asian woman you will definitely get my attention, but if you're not, don't let that put you off."

And I try to tell myself that I appreciate his honesty but the rest of me is just nope.  Nope because I'm neither of those things and I don't even know how I feel about that statement.

I just know it sucks.  It sucks either just the same as it did when S first signed me up or it sucks even more... unless that's just me.

So, that's not really happening...
