Online Dating -
It’s like I’m on the Bachelor AND the Bachelorette at the SAME TIME!!!!
And that about sums it up. Do I need to say more? Probably not. But I will anyway. :)
I’ve been looking into online dating as part of my studies on network society and digital culture (it’s what I’m getting my Master’s in) OMGOSH!!! It’s like WORSE than real dating and I hate real dating. So there you have it. Sure you get anonymity (KIND OF) and you can share feelings without the physical stuff getting in the way (KIND OF) but seriously – at least if you start dating a dude in REAL LIFE you can be fairly certain that if you’re talking everyday and seeing each other every week – he PROLLY doesn’t have time and isn’t doing that with anyone else.
But in the DIGITAL WORLD??
Watch out! You can have 15 concurrent emotional email affairs going AT ONCE!!! You think you’re getting close to someone – but they’re just feeding the same lines to you and to every other girl they think is hot or decent- depending on the dude. NOT COOL!
Oh AAANNNDDD people only post their top pics of themselves – I think there should be a rule that you must post a MINIMUM of like 30 pics. 3 pics? 6 pics? 10 pics? You can’t get an idea of what a person looks like from that.
OH AND BIG NEWS – DAISY CHANGED HER RELATIONSHIP STATUS ON FB!!!!
As of today I am OFFICIALLY listed as IN A RELATIONSHIP on Facebook. I know Mom – this is going to come as a bit of a shock to you considering we talked last night and I told you I wasn’t dating anyone – HOWEVER – I decided to make my commitment to my dogs OFFICIAL. Oh yes. I’m in an open relationship with Duchess and Chloe. They even have their own facebook profile!
Don’t act surprised.
And just be glad Lily Chocolate Cupcake doesn’t have one – cuz guess what?? That snobby kitty has come crawling back (and of course I took her right back in!!! Aw – I LOVE my little Lily Chocolate Cupcake!!! – but not as much as Duchess and Chloe.)
Here’s 2 pictures:
Oh and CC+4 befriended Duchess and Chloe on Facebook. I don’t know why. Maybe it was auto-generated?? But he left them a comment on their page – it’s really cute of him. But I can’t be thinking things like that. Stupid boyz.

haha – you had me going for a minute :) I know I haven’t said it yet but I think it’s just awesome that you made your photography a business – you should do a show with your pics at a gallery and charge tons (I know I’ll buy some from you as soon as we make tons ;)…good luck with it!!
Yeah! Boys smell and have cooties!
I’ve thought about changing my FB status to in an open relationship with some celeb.. but which one? The dogs idea is better though. At least you’ve met them.
Someone could totally befriend your dogs in FB and start online dating them. Creepy.
I find online dating entirely fascinating, though I’ve never done it. It just seems that everyone is still figuring out how it works, and there are no real consistent rules yet. Some sort of odd free for all that people are trying to negotiate. Yet, for some people, it does really seem to work…
I have determined that since you are attractive, intelligent, and living in an awesome city, you are single from either A. really high standards. or B. You have a tail. I’m going to go with A. :)
btw, are those harbor photos from the Manly ferry? I used to ride that everyday to and from work. I really miss the ride across the harbor.
I’ve done online dating. it was a chore. made some good friends but also met a few people that were chronic online daters. I think NYC has it’s own culture of online dating though.
LOL – thanks. I suppose it could be a little bit of #1 – I don’t really consider myself overly picky but then again, there are very few people who I am willing to sacrifice “me” for … so actually – yeah I guess I am picky!! :)
OOPS! yes – they’re from the ferry. :) Good eye!!!
