I think I'm a bit burned out on OKCupid. I've had 2 great dates with girls I met in person this week, and the last 2 weeks have been girls blatantly dating around - which is fine, but if I go to set up another date the day after don't tell me "Well I had a great time but I have 3 other dates next week how about the week after next?" I dunno, it's good for hooking up but if you don't hook up on the first date you can basically assume you've got maybe a 20% chance of seeing them again. In-person at a bar you've already been vetted when you get them out for a dinner, it's kind of like a second or third OKCupid date.

The key to avoiding disappointment is to have a lot going on. That doesn't mean stacking your week with different dates hoping one works out, either. Go out and do things that interest you and you'll at the very least avoid dating burnout if not meet someone who might share those interests. That way the "week after next" is there before you know it, although really if you see someone 3+ times and they are still talking about maybe pencilling you in then treat them accordingly.

Coolness Averted posted:Wah? Really I mean what's the big deal about honesty? I mean you're playing the field too. A girl that's dating three guys a week isn't a surprise but it also is vaguely repellent. The bigger issue though is a girl that says to your face "I'm dating three guys next week so no time for you" is saying she's really not interested in some kind of falsely smug (oh gee you got three dates wow) or mildly slutty (wow look at you just doing whatever you like and gosh darn societal mores about it sistah) way. It shows a real lack of people skills and if she liked you after the first date she'd quietly cancel one of her many dates the next week to make space. This would also be ugly if a guy said it to a girl, for the same reasons. Someone might shop for shoes at Goodwill but nobody wants to see a little profile of all the other feet that have been in those shoes as part of that shopping. Not understanding this doesn't make you a radical bleeding edge date-ist, it just means you're a halfassed bleep bloop generic internet autist. raton fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Aug 8, 2015 |

 I am the embodiment of quirk and Extroversion. If you are unfond of whimsy, beware! I'm a 22 year old social butterfly, currently in a content relationship, so mostly I'll be l looking for friends if anything. I am a nerd who loves books, movies, gaming (especially LARP), but most of all, being around other nerds. What I’m doing with my life I am currently working two care jobs, and hoping all too fervently that I can get my rear end out there and apply to school so I can eventually follow my ambition of being a teacher. I’m really good at Talking (too much) Singing (whether it's appropriate or not) Dancing (when the music [in my head] moves me) Drawing (but only when I don't have to do it for a purpose) Writing (but not anything far-flung or structured) Basically I'm a jack-of-all-trades creatively speaking, but not enough to actually get anywhere with any of it. Sad but true. Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food It would be much easier to ask what I don't like. The six things I could never do without Hugs, my voice, music, friends, whimsy, gaming I spend a lot of time thinking about Life, death, the unknowable, depression and anxiety, equality and fairness, basically deep stuff a 22 year old has no business ruminating on. On a typical Friday night I am Pretending to be either a Vampire or a werefox for the LARPs I am a part of. You should message me if You are interested in LARPing with my friends and I; you want a fun new face in your regular friendly get-togethers; you actually read through to get this far, and understand that I'm not looking for dating.

My self-summary I like to allow a natural confluence to exist between my various (ostensibly contradictory) aspects. I value momentum, clarity, and knowledge as highly as I do healthy intervals of overwhelming, inundating, frequently harrowing pursuits of beauty. I identify more with the alien in ‘Alien’ than I do with the humans, yet am still relieved that Ripley survives. It keeps me up at night thinking of the increasing rate of the universe’s expansion, but I will never feel insignificant in relation to it, since scale is a very insubstantial basis for worth, or even mass. Any neutron star will tell you that. I can’t summarize myself with blunt diametrics, like “easy-going”, “emotional”, or that dreadful “Left/Right-Brained” myth (thank you, neuroscientists, for debunking that nonsense!). I don’t see innocence and experience as sequential steps on a one-way road; I think they work better in conjunction. My senses of both wonder and horror stem from the same marvellous root structure, neither associated with positivity or negativity. In the same evening, I can easily cry at the sublime sweetness of a ballet and then on the walk home get whipped into a warlike fervour listening to Holst’s “Mars”. Come to think of it, that’s a fairly typically night for me. I don’t see this as contradictory; actually, nothing could be more natural, exciting, or creatively productive. The only times that I’m truly unhappy are when I feel pressure to settle on a simpler identity. Thankfully, this madness usually doesn’t last longer than a day! I’m luxuriant in being a lady-anachronism, a stranger, a continually evolving freak-of-nature. The only thing I refuse to be is a ‘muse’; I suspect that one of my lifetimes was already spent doing that dull, vain work, and so in this life I’d rather be a sphinx. On that note, please be forewarned that I treat my acquaintance like a garden inside a fortress; it will take more than a “how r u” or “wat u up 2 tonite” to gain admittance. I’ve found that in order to preserve a capacity for kindness and empathy, I need to be protective of my boundaries. Believe me, you do not want to climb over the wall of a fortress just to find yourself trapped in a garden with a sphinx who’ll attack first and ask riddles later. What I’m doing with my life I adore my day-job, partially because it doesn’t draw from the same well of energy that my primary occupation requires. I have a lot of different writing goals, and I’ve noticed that when I neglect them, I begin to suffer from a restless, miserable creativity that comes out in the form of nightmares and general snappishness. As long as I write a couple hours a day, I feel very satisfied. But there is a wilder, less cerebral side of my life that involves my internal development. My most important life-events have happened in a chaotic, fecund, thundering solitude that I only achieve when I spurn mortal distractions—meaning I spend a lot of time alone with headphones on, seeing what happens in the aforementioned mind-garden. Yes, boys, you’re delightful, but you’re very distracting sometimes. I prefer to be out of kemmer, if that helps the LeGuin readers. It's not nearly as ascetic as it sounds; I have a taste for striking coats and aesthetics that would keep me out of those spare, elevated circles. I’m really good at I rest too sumptuously upon a comfort with writing and analysis; I'm trying to push this into unfamiliar territory and improve, because the ego is such a treacherous little muscle. I had a memorable foray into the acting world, and may try it again someday, but for right now I want to keep writing as much as I can; plays, essays, articles, stories, and recently some Youtube videos discussing various esoteric subjects that I end up thinking about at 4 a.m. I'm also pretty good at counter-intimidation, meaning when people try to scare me I get very Klingon and scare the crap right back out of them. What I'm NOT good at is music, but I've bought a violin to remedy this. I love watching people compose music; and I do mean watching as much as I mean listening. Composing music is one of those few occupations that registers in tiny mannerisms in the hands, brow, and spine in ways that are unforgivably attractive. The first things people usually notice about me One friend says it's my hair, another says it's my back-off expression, but I think it's the fact that I walk as fast as a coltish 6'2" boy, but with the focus of a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. I can be an intense pedestrian. I have no talent for strolling, unfortunately, just like I'm losing my talent for savouring food. I call it Olympic walking, other people call it sidewalk rage. Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food As intense and intimidating as that previous paragraph must make me sound, it was asking about how I am in public. In private, or with one trusted friend, I'm easier to be around. That's where books, music, and movies soften my prickly defence mechanisms. My library is one thing I take a lot of pride in; it takes up an entire wall. My book collection is the closest thing I have to a hope chest. My old, established favourite writers include Anais Nin, William Shakespeare, George Orwell, Jane Austen, Taeko Watanabe, Frank Herbert, Nabokov, Bulgakov, Elizabeth Abbot, Diane Ackerman, Anne Rice, Julian Barnes, Tony Kushner, Ursula LeGuin, Edward Gorey, and John Patrick Shanley to name a very few. Lately, I’ve been really enjoying Huysmans, D.H. Lawrence, Danielewski, and history or science books the centre on very specific topics, like the race in 1769 to track the transit of Venus or Nijinsky's biography (both crowding my beside table along with House of Leaves, À Rebours, Death and the Maiden, an Alien A.U. novel from my youth, oh, and Twilight. Told you, I'm a symphony of seeming contradictions! Just this once I wanted to be honest about EVERY book on that rickety table) MUSIC The obvious old loves like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Dvorak, Carl Orff, Holst, Strauss, Puccini, Britten (especially as a librettist) and of course Wagner. In that last few years I've been getting MUCH more seriously into soundtrack composers, like Hans Zimmer, Zbigniew Preisner, Martin Phipps, and lyricists like Stephen Schwartz. Also, more lately into groups/individuals like Geinoh Yamashirogumi, Nurse With Wound, M83, Amon Tobin and Vangelis. If you have music recommendations, GAWWWD, send them to me!! Music is integral to my writing, but I’m not great at finding new sources. I’ve had to venture into the weirder corners of Youtube and I don't have the right shoes for the terrain. As far as films go, I’m glad that my parents weren't cautious about what I saw when I was too young to see it. I credit a lot of my personal development to seeing Alien and Blade Runner in 6th grade. Problem is, I tend to be bad at empathizing with the correct species in those films. I've seen Howl's Moving Castle about 64 times. I'm not kidding, I really have. (it ought to be pretty obvious at this point in the profile that I'm a Miyazaki fan) I also like classic black and whites, Cinescope, and I love science fiction from any era. Also, I may seem like a snob, but I’d surprise you. A lot of people assumed because I love Evangelion that I would be outraged at Pacific Rim. NOPE. I like giant monsters, giant robots, kick-rear end Japanese girls, why wouldn’t I like it? I adore Star Trek (TNG and Voyager are the ones I grew up with), South Park, Sherlock, and I consume Doctor Who very slowly over time. I also love documentaries. After doing all the Planet Earth and Blue Planet episodes, I want to get back into the Solar System series with Brian Cox. It's exhilarating! I write like crazy after watching an episode. Science always inspires my creative side. The six things I could never do without Music – feeds my cerebral and physiological needs; still exploring exactly how unpredictably music affects my whole person and inspiration process. Men, sorry, but I will never like you as much as I love my sweet, caring, seven-year-old iPod. He’s the main guy in my life <3 Solitude – works in conjunction with music. I’ve never been afraid of being alone, and usually if I’m grumpy it’s because I’ve spent too much time without a plunge in the restorative, secret spring of solitude ☺ Writing – before I ever diagnose myself as depressed, I first ask “How long has it been since you’ve written?” If I start to get hung up on petty things, or if I catch myself wondering why a cute guy hasn’t texted me back, it usually means I’ve gone too long without writing. Writing is the one thing I can count on to fix everything, every time. Self-Reflection – I spend a lot of time on self-reflection, and there’s plenty of people who will condemn me when they glance at my profile as narcissistic, egotistical, or pretentious, without really understanding what any of those words means outside of a Reddit thread. But I need to be turning my attention inward critically on a regular basis. There’s a lot that needs to be examined for my own health. It’s important for me to avoid delusion, entitlement, or disrespect in my life, and this requires a lot of self-analysis. Connections – also, friends. As important as solitude is, I crave those rare meetings with marvellous, sensitive, thoughtful individuals who know how to turn over an idea in their minds without agreeing or disagreeing. I’ve made snap judgements on people before who have come to be my closest friends, and I’m learning slowly to let myself be surprised by strangers. Books – I need the intimacy and escape. Books are a sensual experience. They have an individual scent, feel, weight, and sound that identifies them in my mind as close friends. I could never trust an e-reader the way I trust a book. I spend a lot of time thinking about This changes on a regular basis. I’d have to update it like a blog, and since my profile is over-teeming as it is, I’ll just continue to update my actual blog. On a typical Friday night I am I'll either be in my room reading/writing on my fourth cup of tea, or I'll be wandering around downtown listening to music. I do try to go out and party with friends, but usually get bored and gently caress off after a bit. I find it generally unsatisfying, except lately I’ve discovered new kinds of events and concerts that suit my subjectivity MUCH better. I’m trying to make myself experiment with those things more often, because I’m naturally a hermit or a solitary explorer. Also-- sometimes I forget it's Friday night and accidentally grocery-shop in the middle of a messy clubbing area. The most private thing I’m willing to admit Over a thousand years ago my ancestors came down from the Arctic circle to try their hand at war-lording, but my particular line has been excommunicated for so many centuries that I'm pretty sure I don't have to feel guilty about it anymore. The point is, when I'm physically threatened I experience an atavistic reversion to their ruthlessness. I blame it on genetics; when someone tries to grab at me, I hear about five centuries of self-proclaimed god-kings roar in my ears "DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR" and react accordingly. I'm just warning that if you ask me out and behave in an ungentlemanly manner, I blame my freak-genome for your broken wrist. You should message me if You got past that first thorny wall of text? Not actually challenging, but it's amazing how little it takes to trap a quick attention span. It's not the same as a springe set for a woodcock, because I use it to deflect rather than to corrupt. You should message me if you got that reference without using Google. Here's the thing though; I don't really get relationships or dating. In their contemporary form, they've been around less than a century, but people act as though they have the authority of millennia. The modern model breeds restlessness and self-consciousness in me. I can discover a person moment by moment without goals or pressure, but 'dating' honestly feels like public performance art to me: mildly diverting, but more effort than it's worth. -Please don't message me just to tell me how "pretentious" I am. To quote Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means". Being pretentious means relying on a pretence; so how would that benefit me if I wanted to make real connections? I'd be using a pretence if I expressed myself in any other voice. I really just want to make the acquaintance of other erudite, curious people. No need to be mean to me about how I speak; I already experienced that in elementary school and it's unnecessary between adults. -I know you get tired of messaging women who don't get back to you, but I won't respond to 'hey how are you', 'what's up?' or quirky non-sequitors that are copy-pasted into tons of messages. I find that to be kind of a listless overture. -Outright rude or vulgar messages will probably receive a reply, but it'll be the sphinx's reply.
