Ridiculous Profile of the Week

He is a Lone Wolf.

I have always considered myself something of a Lone Wolf, shy: reluctant to approach others, trust issues by conditioning, wandering: hunting and traveling alone, starving: must find food without help, sometimes having to scavenge, misunderstood: a minority that may be perceived as rabid or sick as most run in packs, aggressive and defensive: as necessary when being alone and fending for one's self. I share all of these qualities with this animal, so I find this comparison to be most appropriate. Honestly, since I was in kindergarten my only dreams and aspirations, haven't been asking too much, at least I don't think so. Most people's dreams, from what I could see have always seemed to me, somewhat materialistic. All I ever wanted in life was companionship, or someone with eyes that could calm the beast inside of me, someone understanding, that gives me something to strive for. However, because of the conditioning of my environment, my life is something more of what I refer to as "shattered dreams and a living nightmare" also being quite shy when approaching strangers whom I might be attracted to, and regardless of every cliche, slogan, catchphrase and empty promise, I remain the Lone Wolf, in what seems to be a never ending vicious cycle. I become envious of others, who have what I have always wanted, but even more when they take advantage, this brings out the beast inside me even more, but still nothing to calm it down, and so my "animality" continues to prevail as the Lone Wolf, and so I howl at the proverbial moon waiting for a response, but still nothing.

Replying Is An Art Form And Flirting Is A Bitch

Today is mass response day. It's like clearing out the fridge of leftovers. Or paying bills. Or washing my car. What, you say? Writing email responses shouldn't feel like a job? Well, it does. The situation probably feels worse when you procrastinate as much as I do, which means letting messages sit for days or weeks at a time. I usually wait for a day when I'm super bored and feel super guilty, open up the box and


BAM!  "Thanks! How's your weekend?"

BOOM!  "Oh, I love that show! Did you see the finale? Craaazy!"

KAPOW!  "Gosh, it's hot out. You could fry a cat on the sidewalk*, right?"


If you're not interested in someone off the bat, how do you handle the reply message? Is it necessary to write back? Or optional? 

I'm not good at feigning interest. I can be polite and friendly. I hate fake though and I gotta tell you, I feel fake sometimes talking to strangers. It's about listening, I suppose. Mostly people want to talk about themselves if you only give them an opportunity and there's nothing fake about listening. Unless of course you don't care. Then I guess it's fake. But caring is pretty basic. I care!

This is the breakdown of responses for my online courters:

  1. Jerks and hard-core weirdos: No response, unless I think of something obnoxious to say.
  2. Nice weirdos: Thanks and some banter. Sweet messages deserve appreciation and the semblance of a chance. A thank you, some friendly banter, chit-chat, superficial conversation.
  3. Winners: Serious and/or flirtatious response, i.e. some real attention.
On that note, I want to rant a bit about flirting. I'm tired of it. When I flirt, I flirt with a cause and a goal. I want to let a guy know how much I like him so that he chooses me and we can get all canoodly and see if maybe something serious could befall us. But you know what I see? Guys doing lots of flirting and lots of nothing else. I want results. I want flirting with stability and predictability. Bah.


*Oh, you don't use that totally outdated and awkward phrase to describe high temperatures? Neither do I.
