Plugged In and Dating

Ladies and Gents!

      I present to you a new blog topic today that involves something I hate. Dating. Now, I don't hate dating per say, I just truly hate the amount of time and energy that goes into finding someone to date. I honestly do not know how people meet in the real world anymore. I remember it used to be so much easier to meet people. Your friends would throw parties and you would see someone across the room and boom, there you go. Even sitting in class you'd see a cute person and make an effort to go and ask for random help you probably didn't need (thanks Cady Heron). Well, now the entire world is plugged in and finding something on an app has become the norm. But, you know what actually sucks... even when someone is available right at your finger tips it's still hard to find a "dateable" person. UGH!!

      Let's go through all the actual dating sites a person can have. The ones I have used/ have been using are Tinder, Bumble, Plenty of Fish, OKCupid, JSwipe, Coffee Meets Bagel, and my new personal favorite Hatr. That's like what, 7 sites you can be signed up to and still not find someone decent. That's just gross. To be fair, I haven't really been using any of them because I am concentrating on other aspects of my life at the moment. Granted, I do enjoy meeting people and going out (even though my social anxieties and awkwardness tell me otherwise). I also just enjoy the thrill of swiping and basically judging people based on their pictures and the way they describe themselves (that is definitely the evil bitch in me always begging to come out). But, my most favorite part is trolling anyone who sends me weird messages. I get a rise out of people's reactions and watching them respond is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Most people have no idea how to react and their commentary gives me a good chuckle.

      Maybe that's why I can't find a good date? I mainly spend my time trolling on these sites instead of actually trying to find someone to date. To be fair, half of them deserve it. Who sends messages like "I want to bury my face in your a** and make you gag on these ba***". They deserve to be messed with because you do not talk to anyone, let alone women like that! This is why dating can be so hard on all these apps. Either some people take it seriously and you end up not connecting, or some just use it to boost their confidence and hookup. Where are all the real people who are ready to take the step forward and have a real relationship? Apparently not on any of the sites I'm using or willing to even pay for.

      Anyway, I can post those screenshots at some point and write a whole new post about witty retorts! Who would want to see that? Let me know because I have some good ones! I will keep you guys updated as I go because there will be some fun adventures in this one.

Love,
 Jess
