Loading ...This is an honest question. Why in the sam hell blazes is it so goddamned hard to date? Especially so in the LA/OC areas it seems? For the last three months I had not really given it much thought or effort because I had to really buckle down on my classes at UC Irvine. Fair enough after all, right?
So I decided to renew my old Yahoo Personals account and see if things had changed on there for the better or not. Well, after messing around on there for a few days I had someone write me back wanting to know how to get in touch with me to talk more. Seemed like a simple enough request and the persons profile seemed absolutely normal to me. So I write them back with one of my email addresses and go back to other things at the time.
Mind you here its worth mentioning why I stopped using Yahoo Personals the last time I tried it out. In a nutshell, at the time I was looking to find someone it was before I was doing my full-time classes for my degree so I had a bit more time on my hands and I still had a fair amount of disposable income, etc. Just wasn’t making much progress finding someone interesting to connect with was all. Anyways, in the entire time I had used Yahoo Personals the first time, the only person who had ever responded back to me turned out to be a female escort who was using the service to look for new clients, not a relationship. Needless to say when I found this out I was both disappointed and upset at the same time since it seemed like a perversion of the intent for the service. Oh well, live and learn or something.
So here we are, a few years later. Has Yahoo Personals gotten any better? Well, their layout and interface is better and some of the features of the site have improved. You can now tell who is looking at your profile which is a nice feature I guess. Back to the person whom I sent my email address to, so she writes me back.
Except, the name she is using isnt the one on her Yahoo Personals profile? WTF? I keep reading the email and attached is a photo of the “person” in question. It is nothing like the photo on the profile (brunette vs blonde, etc). It’s like split personality or something. So I write “them” back with the question “What happened to the person in the profile?”.
Today I got the answer to that question. They sent another email back, it completely ignored the question and directed me to check out “their website” where there were “more photos of me available”.
A spammer.
A fucking spammer.
WHAT
THE
FUCK!?!
Seriously, I am going to become a goddamned motherfucking monk at this rate. I’m never going to find someone to date. EVAR.
Sheesh. I don’t even know why I fucking bother these days.
