This means that there really are like a million reasons to move to Portland by now.

(This makes me sounds like that bloke from Love Actually, who moves to America for the girls.)

aaaaand new favorite tumblr. I think I have to make 2 separate tumblr accounts so I can see only posts from blogs I love. Either that or deal with the shiitake show that comes from unfollowing a lot of my friends.

That'd be one of the things I'd enjoy a lot about living in a bigger/more liberal place: more variety in and tolerance of non-conventional gender expressions. <3

SIT ON ALL THE FACES !

Would they really notice? I would have no idea if someone unfollowed me (admittedly I am very sporadic with tumbling). And if i did notice, I wouldn't care. Maybe they didn't like my reblogs of awesome feminist quotes. Maybe they hate adorable, adorable kittens. Whatever. People need to set the boundaries that make them feel safe and I'm happy every time somebody does that.

I think some of them (especially my ex) would notice. They pretty much live on Tumblr and I've seen at least one of them post some sort of when-I-lose-a-follower reaction GIF. I'm just concerned they'll notice and ask about it (probably assuming it's a mistake) and I don't want to go into my reasons with them, though I know I don't owe them an explanation.
I should just do it anyway and see. It could just be ignored. Or maybe they'll just assume I don't like them. either way it's fine.

Has anyone tried Match? I know you can't tell if people are members because I have a profile and keep getting emails that someone chose me, whatever that means. But there might be some different guys there than on OKC which could be good.

monkeytoes · **Posted:** Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:26 pm

I was on match for a sum total of less than two months. I liked it just fine and only stopped using it because I met my sweetie (on match.) I haven't used any other online dating, though, so I can't compare. There were tons of people in my age range and area but some others here have complained that the match pickings were slim for them, so your mileage may vary.

Oh Lard. Today someone sent me this gem:

I joined OKC after splitting up with my GF in Portland (who forking sucks and who I just finally told off for all her crazy bullshiitake). My experiences so far have been ...interesting. I think I met a couple good friends who I'd never have met who are into the same movies and music I'm into. So I guess this whole online world works in some way or another. It's a cold lonely existence, and while getting laid is great and all, finding someone to cuddle up with to watch an obscenely disgusting horror movies is even more great.

...is killing me right now.

Went from very happily seeing two people for about a month and then (within a week of each other) one dropped off the face of the earth with no real explanation and the other dropped a relationship ultimatum on me.

Back to sad and single!

I can't even OKC right now, disabled my account.

Mars · **Posted:** Mon Feb 11, 2013 9:26 pm

Yeah the dropping off the face of the earth thing happened to me way too many times. Relationship ultimatum though?! That seems pretty nuts for how soon it's been!

chouettes crêpes · **Posted:** Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:29 pm

way to go for not going for the ultimatum!

yeah, one of the things i resent about the online dating thing is how easy (and almost expected/ acceptable?) it is for someone to drop off the face of the earth.

granolapocalypse · **Joined:** Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:19 pm **Posts:** 250

I HATE it when people disappear. I need closure! And this wasn't one date, this was seeing each other every week for a month.
Who does that?
Mars, the ultimatum would sound even more nuts if you knew the specifics. Dude was way intense.

So now there are two less vegans in town I can date. Boo.

Mars · **Posted:** Tue Feb 12, 2013 1:51 am

forkin' vegans

Some guy who I talked to online maybe 6 months ago texted me today "single?". When we were talking online he was on of those flaky types hesitant to get anything going and then I was already involved with someone else. I find it interesting he still texts me every now and then, if it was me I would probably have forgotten about me if that much time had gone by and we had never met in meat space.

Uuuuh, what?! Sorry about your break up. I guess making connections with people is always good. Soldier on!

It's great that it worked for you! I'll probably sign up this weekend.

I got to maybe meeting this bloke, because he seemed nice. I suggested us getting a coffee one of these days, which he refused because he "knows within 10 sec. whether it'll be worth it" and didn't want to make the commitment. Yep.
