I have barely started this blog and already am running out of material. In order to create material, I need to meet men. So, reluctantly I joined Match. A friend from Optom school is getting married in 2 weeks to a man she met on match. They really are perfect for each other and that gave me hope. Another friend in the field is also happily dating a guy that she is head over heels for. So, why not? I have nothing to lose, since my dignity went out the door years ago.
I wrote a simple bio, added a few of my better pics…. And submit! Its been two weeks and so far I have only gotten 10 emails and a handful of winks. I would love to not stereotype or group the men who are interested in me into a category… but it is safe to say this is the standard: Mid thirtys, balding, income of 25-50 grand, body type: a little more to love…. I’m not superficial… well, Im somewhat open just a little judgy… My last few blogs have been about how clearly I was discarded by the last boy because I am not pretty or thin enough. I get it. I know where I stand. But really? This is all I can get?
I am growing increasingly discouraged… 200+ and bald? It would be one thing if this was pure muscle and for aerodynamics. Haha no, I couldn’t handle a pro-athlete. But that would be fun. Wouldn’t it be great if political correctness and even just plain old manners could be thrown out the window. My profile would most likely read:
Just moved into town. I am dying of boredom and have started quilting in my free time and live with the constant fear of cats and dying alone. My biological clock isn’t ticking, but I would prefer to have children before the likelihood of birth defects exceeds 50% aka before I am 35… I really do enjoy anything outdoors. I like to exercise and went for a 10 mile walk just to take up time. I scuba dive, horseback ride, and ski. I really like to travel. Which means, I would appreciate it if you had the means to do these sort of things. I spent the last 9 years working my ass off and now I make a pretty decent living. So, Id be happy if you did too. I’m horribly self-conscious and have weight issues… but I’m also superficial enough to ask no overly fatty’s please. You don’t have to be a model, but I would appreciate not being embarrassed to introduce you to my friends.
Haha I just read this and it makes me sound horrible. Real me is so judgemental! I had a patient the other day. I walked into the room and right off the bat got a very odd look. He turned to me and said, ‘ you are not what I expected to walk through the door’ From the tone, I don’t think this was a compliment. And to be honest, its true. I think Im a pretty fun person to hang out with (well, Im all I have to hang out with at the moment). My face doesn’t break any mirrors… but lets face it, beggars cant be chosers. Maybe I’ll just have to reply back to one of these emails someday soon…
