Yes, we're all steeped in White Dude Culture, but date-worthy men and women should at least make an attempt to escape a little bit. Read some books by women. Watch some films made by directors of colour. And if you're a girl who dates men, realize that a man who only cares about Dude Things may not care so much about your things at the end of the day. Double negative points if the favorites include Bret Easton Ellis or Norman Mailer.See also: Follows the Paleo Diet.
And so, my brain started thinking about how classical literary characters might go about finding love if they dwelt in the 21st century. If these folks decided to try online dating, they'd have some very interesting profiles, don't you think? Me too.
It's less about there being terrible women and more that there are just tons and tons of fake girls profiles designed specifically to lure men into paying for the service. They come with cookie cutter answers to make you think they're real, but there isn't a thing real about these "girls ". The rest of time as a guy you're a drop in the ocean, and most women get so many messages that yours is lost in the sea and either goes unnoticed or is deleted without being read. Women tend to get kid in a candy store syndrome when there's so many offers, so if yours isn't extra special or doesn't impress them outright, they just skip you. Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. You get to deal with creeps while I get to message 100 women and pray just 1 answers me back. Welcome to the interwebs.
Stop following me! I made my first online dating profiles last night. Thismorning I was staring at my empty inbox, not entirely sad being it's only been like 12 hours, but feeling a little bit of that comoditized rejection. Then you post this report. Perfect timing. You and LifeHacker appear to be following me occasionally. Whenever I encounter an issue within like a day Lifehacker posts something about it. And now love life problems pop up and here you are. Thanks!
The guy she says she met on the web called himself Dave Field. His picture was of a somewhat handsome, balding middle-aged man. As Ellen and "Dave" chatted on the internet and occasionally on the phone, she says she told her that he was of Swedish descent and was living in Los Angeles.
So I decided to take it upon myself to do some comprehensive research into the online dating business and was quite shocked with what I found. In the UK alone, the relationship industry turns over 3.7 billion and mostly all it provides is a complex platform for everyone to sign up on and leaves people to go it alone. I couldn't see where there was a service element for the members parting with money each month. The more research I did, the more I could see a huge gap in such a saturated industry. I wanted to create a company that could be an honest brand with all the products and services you could possibly need to make your journey in finding that special someone in a way that is fun, personal, secure and, in turn, a lot more effective -- and so I created Simplicity3.
