2 Cents + 2 Cents =

A facebook acquaintance had an opinion about my new profile. Here it is, interspersed with my thoughts as I read it:

Amy,
I know that this is completely unsolicited and that, coming from me, it probably doesn’t mean much, but I actually preferred your last Match profile entry.

Well…from what I’ve seen, you’re not an Olympic dater. I mean, you’ve told stories and blogged about your lack of success with women…But no, no, have at. I want to hear it. I like feedback.

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t recommend opening with the line about never buying your partner gifts. Even if true, that seems to be a disclosure that can be saved for the second date.

Yeah? I think it’s kind of funny. And it is true. I’m a terrible gift-giver.

Sure, with most guys, it will be easily overcome, but at least from my way of thinking, it doesn’t come off as an endearing quality. It makes you seem insensitive, uncaring, and/or disinterested in a serious relationship and I don’t think that’s how you want to come off, and from what little I know about you, I don’t think that’s true.

Really? Insensitive, uncaring…you don’t think that’s true? Clearly you don’t know me, because that describes me perfectly. Douche.

I also think that your line about exceedingly photogenic and “taking your photos with a grain of salt” could be misinterpreted at worst, and just isn’t necessary. For pity’s sake, you make it sound like your photos have been airbrushed! Don’t downplay your looks! You’re not chubby, you’re a normal sized woman; you’re just not anorexic. And, if I can say so without sounding like I’m hitting on you, you are an attractive woman at that.

I’m not a fucking normal-sized woman. I’m a fat person. Also, see how I hyphenated ‘normal-sized’? I did that because it’s used as an adjective. And yes, because I’m pissed off, I’m going to nitpick your grammar. Because it makes me feel superior.

Don’t tell guys your pictures look better than you actually do.

Don’t tell me what to do.

It’s not true, and sends the wrong message. And don’t put the image of a troll in their head (even if you say you are at least a bit more attractive then one).

You mean ‘than’.

Think of this as an interview where you want to sell yourself, not a disciplinary review board where you have to make excuses for yourself. Be positive about yourself. Don’t give guys an excuse not to date you; let them decide if they aren’t interested.

Oh, is that what it is? Somewhere I want to sell myself? You mean, I should try to make people like me? I didn’t realize that. Because I’m only 34 years old.

You’ve got a lot going for you. You are funny, charismatic, caring, and charming… and you like NPR. How can you go wrong with that line up? Go with your strong suits, and I’m sure you’ll find the guy of your dreams.

Yes, I am all those things, and yes, I do like NPR. You can’t go wrong with that line-up, so shut the hell up and let me do my thing.

I know that was unsolicited and possibly unwelcome, but I just wanted to give you my 2 cents.

No, hey—thanks.

[The thing is, (1) he said an awful lot of nice things in there, but I couldn’t hear them because I become a seventh grader in the presence of unsolicited criticism. And (2) he’s right. I’m not selling myself in this profile. I’m under-selling myself. And why would I want to do that? Perhaps because I’m so fucking ambivalent about this whole prospect. Or because I’m terrified a guy will pull up to our first date and go, “Whoa whoa whoa. No.” Or maybe because I kind of want nobody to email me so I won’t have to go through this shit again.]

  2. this is especially relevant when conversation coming about cellular users – we love when gambling house sites offer alternative software, [url=https://www.vie-etudiante-nb.ca/discover-the-thrills-of-online-casino-bingo-uk/]https://www.vie-etudiante-nb.ca/discover-the-thrills-of-online-casino-bingo-uk/[/url], but at least, we expect that they will function comprehensively manner and on portable gadgets.

    Link building in three stages

    Stage 3 – Posting an entry on SEO analysis platforms –

    Website analyzers submit the sitemap to the search crawlers, and this is very important.

    Explanation for stage 3 – only the homepage of the site is submitted on the analyzers; subsequent web pages cannot be placed.

    I carry out these 3 phases in order, in all there will be 10,000-20,000 inbound links from these 3 steps.

    This backlink strategy is the top-performing.

  18. Hey everyone,

    I’ve been getting into the world of online gaming lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was a bit wary. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your cash, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that set apart a legit casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **licenses matter**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the MGA or the UK Gambling Commission), just walk away. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “juicy” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a total win. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Massive*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: savaspin login . What really impressed me was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like no time. Compare that to other sites where you’re just shouting into the void — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some awesome ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just chase bonuses. It’s smarter to go for fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and bet the farm — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a bit of online excitement, online casinos can totally deliver. Just play smart, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a decent place to play. If you’ve got your own recommendations or even some casino nightmares, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and may the odds be ever in your favor ??
