From grad_student203: I’m 25 and a grad student in Durham. I’m in a relationship, but I am looking to explore outside of our relationship (with my girlfriend’s consent). I think you have a real, down to earth beauty about you, and I’d love to talk sometime. Thanks!

From AndyLeCumm (and no, I didn’t change the last part of his username… LeCumm… seriously): Hi! Wow you’re really cute! I’d love a chance to just get to know you. I’m not sure if you’d be Ok with my situation and what I’m looking for? I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask because you sound like such fun! I’m also in your area all the time for work! Anyways …hope to hear from you soon :-)

His “situation”? I looked at his profile: I’m an attractive, fun, professional guy looking for a possible long term discreet best friend with benefits. Maybe someone in the same situation as me. I’m married with 3 kids and have no plans on a divorce. Things have just lost the spark at home. I’m a very sexual guy and still have things I’d like to try and see :-) Maybe we could have some fun together! Can’t wait to hear from you!

From hurricaneman3: What size are those lol?

This is the quality of my prospects these days.

Godmotherfuckingdammit.

You know who Cynthia Nixon is, right? She played Miranda on Sex and the City but garnered more attention after the show had wrapped when she left her boyfriend of 15 years for a woman.

This seems to be a thing. A thing that happens.

It has happened to a former co-worker of mine; one of my acquaintances; a very good friend; and a woman who told her story at the Monti. Just to name a few.

Each identified as straight her whole life. Each was married to a man. Each’s marriage ended (in death or divorce). Each met and fell in love with a woman and now maintains a healthy, happy relationship with her.

So I’m in. I’m telling it to the Universe. Universe, I’m asking you to send me a woman who’ll turn me gay.

I mean, I’ve never identified as a zero on the Kinsey Scale, more like a one. I think women are beautiful and occasionally sexy and really fun to be around. That’s about it. I’ve never had sex with a woman or even considered being a relationship with one.

But hear me, grad_student203: you and the rest of your ilk are turning a perfectly good straight woman into a lesbo.

Congratulations. Jackasses.
