On the last entry I told you that finally I registered myself to one of the dating sites, which now I never touch again. Well… First because I got really bored there, and second, it asked me to pay! So, I might as well left that site.

Anyway, I am not going to talk about the dating site again, because I am not into it. There’s one thing I found out really hard to do when I fill out the profile section. “About Me” form!

If you look into the “About Me” section of this blog, you might recognize my inability to write description about myself. I don’t know why but I think when you write something about yourself in the “About Me” section it was kiind of misleading. You will make the reader thought that you’re just like what you described there, whilst actually different people has different perception about you.

It should be: “My Own Perception About Me”.

The second part isn’t easier… It’s about what things interest you? How could it possible for people to actually fill in this form? What interest me? So many yet so few. I like music, but I don’t like dangdut, for example. I like food but I don’t like several core ingredients like those from onion and garlic family. How could you summarize what you like and dislike in 500 characters? That’s insane.

Seriously, sometimes I think Clive’s 3500 words assignments is so much easier than to sum up my life story in 500 characters.

But the hardest part isn’t coming yet.

It’s the “WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR”

Geez.

Isn’t that too obvious? I am looking for a prince charming in a shining armor, riding a white horse and speak ancient Elven language. His name might be Legolas. Or better, if he speak ancient Elven language with a British accent… and his name would be Sir Legolas of Mirkwood.

It took me years to think about what I would write there, but anyway… I forgot what I have wrote there. I might have left it blank >_<. But when I think about it again, what should I write there? What would I write in a form like that if I want to be very honest and blunt about my types? Hm… It would probably be like this:

I don’t care if you’re a girl or a boy. I don’t really care how old you’re as long as you’re a legal citizen, because I don’t want to get jailed because of dating an underage. I don’t care what ethnicity or race or nationality, but Elven is preferable.

If you don’t know Oasis and Blur, you might be too old or too young for me. If you know it already and you don’t like it, we would be having a lot of arguments about what good music is. If you’re a fan of Justin Bieber, you might want to know my ex, I can introduce you to her. But I like someone who can play musical instrument, because I can’t. If we’re not a match but you can play guitar, I would like to befriend with you so you can teach me how to play guitar.

If you choose the Fast and the Furious over LOTR, we’re not going to watch movie together. Especially if you think that Transformer is a better movie than Fracture. I am not a fan of Romantic Comedy though, but Love Actually and He’s Just Not That Into You are exceptions. I hate (500) Days of Summer, and people who said that there’s a similarity between me and Summer, so although you might think so just shut your mouth. I chose pop corn over nachos. And plain water over soda.

You don’t need to bring me to fancy restaurants, especially if you’re a chef. If you cook and then clean the dishes, that’s so much better. The best is, if you can also do laundry, house cleaning, fix the plumbing system, and drive. Oh.. no. Wait… The BEST is, if you can massage!

I don’t care how tall you’re, but just a warning, I LOVE high heels. If you’re not tall enough, I wish you’re confident enough. That’s fine. I don’t mind if you don’t do exercise that much. I don’t even care. Just be healthy, because it’s useless we’re doing this if you die soon. So, you don’t need to be all slim and slender, but check your cholesterol rate and your blood sugar -_-”. Oh, and have a HIV check too if you’re serious.

You don’t have to be fashionable. Please dress properly. I mean, it’s painful to my eyes to see your underwear everywhere when you bend down. Buy a real pants. Or a pair of cute underwear.

I am a liberal. And a democrat. I expected someone who won’t limit my liberty and democracy. I don’t want a preacher lecturing about how I should live my life. Seriously, you’d be friendzoned in a second. And I don’t need someone who corrected my every word, or reminded me about the meme i used in my daily conversation. Basically, I need someone who talk, but know when to shut.

Anyways, if you read this and you still interested, then you can send me message.

Cheers.

After some small talk with Denise few weeks ago, I found out that she actually registered herself to a dating site. Seriously? She barely touched her facebook but yet she’s on a dating site? I asked her whether she was really desperate or something, but she said that it wasn’t out of desperation. Then she kind of preached me about the 21st century dating or something.

Well…

After she talked to me like that, it occurred to me that 80% people that has a deeper connection to me was those I know from the internet. I met si Onyed, and mr. Atheist online, and they were and still are the closest person to me. I met Miiya and mr Nottingham in real life, but we actually talked more online. Even for friends… like AK, for example. I befriended her… online.

That makes me think… Should I join a dating site as well?

Oh my gosh… you started to giggle now.

I know it sound so desperate, but I tried to make it as neutral as possible. Okay? So, few hours after talking to Denise, I went home and I don’t know how my browser kept flashing this dating site ads. Out of curiosity, I clicked it. I mean, I just want to know if what Denise said was for real or not.

Well… actually those people in the dating site wasn’t all that bad looking. Some were actually attractive… but that’s the catch isn’t it? If these people are good looking and have good characters, why don’t they find someone in the real life? Are they too picky? Or they have some extra baggage (you have to watch HIMYM to know about this)? Or they just the unlucky?

Seeing at how many options there, it actually gives the chance for the picky to choose one that suit them the most. Like.. how old this person should be, how tall, what would you like for the color of the hair, eyes, or skin tone. Do you want this person to be asian, or caucasian, or middle eastern? Do you want this person to be able to play music or cook? Or do you want this person to be active outdoor or do you want a company who smoke drink and dance? Do you want to get serious or just fun? Kids or no kids?

See?

It’s like… One year of information gathering, saved up in one hour of reading someone’s profile. I am no fan of this actually, because I enjoyed the challenge to dig deeper into human’s mind and characteristics. It’s like a spoiler in a review for a movie, you’d know everything without actually experience anything. But… Hey! It’s still a place to go though…

After I see the dating site, I kind of changed my mind a little. Still not a fan of it, and I never opened that site again, but now I know why people go to that site. Sometimes, it’s just about finding an opportunity you would never find in the real life…
