I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 259: Online Dating is Awesome!
Psychostick (a band) had it right all along: Okcupid is stupid. I'm sure that's probably not what they're actually saying in their tshirt above, but I'm totally using it to symbolize that online dating sucks.
Tonight, I deleted my plentyoffish and okcupid dating profiles. Why? Because, well, online dating just sucks. It's like, if you want to get rejected on a continual basis, or meet jerks on a continual basis, just try online dating. I mean, it's not ALL bad. But overall . . . .
I've realized, and accepted, that I date down. I do. I date guys who don't really deserve me. But it's like, either I date down, or I don't date at all. And being single, it just plain ole sucks. I mean, I'm human and therefore have hormones. And not to mention the fact that literally my #1 goal in life is to find someone I love and who loves me and get married.
So yeah, I'm going to just focus on dating people I actually meet in real life versus through a computer. Because why waste my time talking to guys who I have no interest in? Believe it or not, getting a free meal yet talking to someone who is not interesting--it's just not worth it.
The real question is where in the HELL do I meet guys who actually deserve me? Where do I meet guys who are smart and not boring?
Beats me. Seriously.

I used to use OKCupid as well (deleted mine roughly 2 years ago), but it never did anything for me dating-wise. The little personality quizzes and such were fun, though...
