Unopened Letter to the World

I thought online dating would be amazing and fun and a little challenging but not so bad.

Well it's not. It flat out sucks. Maybe it's the age group I'm in. Scratch that, that definitely is a huge factor. Divorces...children... Things I shouldn't judge people about but it does make me wary--which I'm completely aware of how stupid that is but can't help but feel that way. 

On any given site, they like for you to write a little thing about yourself but obviously reading one is almost like reading them all. In fairness, wtf are we supposed to say...?? People keep telling me to be girly and flirty but short of covering it with bonne belle Chapstick and spritzing with perfume and glitter, I don't know how to exude it any more than my personality--which is not butch but not super girly (I think)

Here's what I WOULD want to say:
Hi--I'm looking for a legit no bullshit relationship bc I'm a legit no bullshit girl. 

I like cute punk rock type of boys who are romantic...and have a real job. You can skateboard or game or be in a band on the side but I'm not supporting your 30+ year old dream financially as I do not expect you to support mine. 

I also happen to only like white guys and that does not give you a right to go on a racist tangent on me. Speaking of race, no Asian fetish weirdos. I like white guys, I don't have a fetish. And in the spirit of drawing the line, no one older than what I specified. Creeper. Also, I like guys with hair and three strands of Homer Simpson hair only looks good on Homer Simpson. I like guys who are average or fit bc I'm in the gym four days a week so I don't prefer sloth like guys. 

I'm equal parts of laid back and anxious. I have a dry and silly sense of humor that usually translates to all. I love music and people and have a big range of music and friends. I don't expect the same from others, just tolerance, open mindedness and respect. 

If you made it through this then let's chat. If you made it through but skimmed welcome to my blocked list.

I feel like a lot of girls would want to put a version of that out there but obviously a twist on their preferences and personalities. However every profile is monitored and has to be approved and has professional writers for a small fee. Seriously? Someone else can tell me more about what I like and don't like better than me? Girl, bye. 

But ever the romantic that I am, I still believe in love so here's to hoping...
