Dating Sites Are Not For Nerds

I was going to title this blog, "Normal girls are boring", but then I thought it might offend some normal girls so I didn't type that.

So, I'm on one of those BIG dating sites because, well, I figure this is LOS ANGELES and there are around TEN MILLION people in this area, and so even on a "normal person" dating site, there'd have to be some geek girls, right? Well, yes, there are. I'd say about three. 


Unfortunately, all three of them apparently found dates because they don't answer my messages. That's the only possible reason of course because if they saw how perfect I was for them they would of course answer my message right away and probably do a small dance around their swivel chair in their nerdy room while wearing their Harry Potter pajamas. But, alas, there was no dancing today. Or last week. Or last month.

Apparently, this world is full of terribly normal people. Now look, I don't hate normal people, I love them. But there's just way too damn many of them. We need some more variety. I'm going to give you a sample of some profiles from my big unnamed-in-this-blog dating site:

I love riding my bike on the weekends, going to the beach, going to the farmer's market, entertaining friends, going dancing, reading, exercising, music, going out for drinks/dinner 

I am down to earth. Love to travel when possible. A huge baseball fan. Love my NY Yankees. 

 I enjoy socializing and I love working out – and am an avid yoga student, hike in Runyon Canyon, and love a Saturday morning bike ride in Santa Monica (farmer’s market anyone?).

im open fun ouitgoing just looking to see whats out there and and have fun. i love to fish and be doing things. im a low maintiance girl. i love to eat try to new food travel..im really alot of fun. i also love amuzements parks!!!

 I enjoy a good conversation about as much as I enjoy cuddling on the couch watching a movie, or a good tv show. My favorite things to do can revolve around the beach: reading a book, taking a nap, swimming in the ocean, and just watching the ocean

Imagine reading about a hundred of these types of profiles a day and you'll probably do what I do: break down into a crying heap on top of your Harry Potter pajamas. If only I loved the farmers market and the beach I'd be everyone's perfect match. (Except maybe that Yankees girl.) 

So, sometimes I get optimistic and search for key terms like "anime". That gets me about a dozen results. All of them are 18 years old. Once, I went crazy and typed in "LARP." 0 results. After that I couldn't use my computer for a day.

Well, I paid for three months membership on the site. Two months down, one to go. Maybe my geek girl will sign up before my last 30 days? Anyway, if you don't see me online in the next week or so, just look for me at the farmer's market.
