So it’s been almost a week now…

…and no real progress on this whole online dating thing. When I first envisioned the "experiment," I thought of two scenarios: either I would go on several horrid dates and write an incredible, award winning screen play from my experiences OR I would actually find someone that I was both attracted to and was mildly somewhat normal on the site. Never really had I considered the possibility that I wouldn't have a date by the end of the first week.

Initially, I took the rejection personally. I thought I wasn't an ugly person, but then maybe I was. Maybe it was the fact that I was Asian. I over analyzed the multiple variables that went into why a person would refuse to press the 'reply' button on one of my witty and engaging emails. How these women so deftly could avoid my charming nature and my clever wit.

Finally, I realize what the problem was. I have been sending emails to racist, stupid, butch lesbians.

 

 

…….

Ah. If life was only so simple. No, dear readers, I am not so vain to think that my failures are attributed the aforementioned assumption that the women I emailed were indeed playing for the other team and were of minimal intelligence. I realize that there is a possibility that all five (technically three, since two of the emails have not been read yet) of the emails that I sent to each girl was read and the girl decided that she wasn't interested. I realize.

At least a few people have dropped by to check out my profile. No news of yet. I did begin to let people rate my picture. My scores were shockingly low (dude, some women rated me a one. I am not a one. I might not be a ten, but there is no way in hell I am a one. I have ten fingers and ten toes. I think that, by default, puts me at two level). So low, in fact, I actually posted a more appeasing (naked) photo of myself (bent over, looking back) on the website. Needless to say, my score is somewhat higher (7.5, baby. Show some T&A and nothing can stop you).

I would love to be able to impart some wisdom that I've learned from this whole experience thus far. I can't. I haven't really learned anything at all. So far it's been a great time filler at work, apart from the multiple games of scrabulous being played. I obsessively check the website everyday hoping that maybe someone will message me soon. All for naught.
