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.]

  17. Hey people,

    I’ve been diving into the world of online gaming lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was super skeptical. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your cash, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few questionable sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that distinguish a reliable casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **check the license**. 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 gamble of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of wagering requirements they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” 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? No waiting around. And the game selection? *Wild*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: rakoo . What really stood out was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just ghosted by support — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some juicy ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to get clear terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money — 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 stay sharp, know your limits, 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 interested or trying to find a trustworthy place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??

  42. Ordina Contrave Online Senza Ricetta Farmaci Italia
    Contrave Online Senza Ricetta: La Prospettiva di un Endocrinologo
    Come endocrinologo con oltre 20 anni di esperienza all’Ospedale San Raffaele, ho visto un aumento significativo di pazienti che chiedono informazioni su come acquistare Contrave online. Vorrei condividere la mia prospettiva professionale su questo argomento.

    Perche il Contrave e Diventato Cosi Popolare?
    Contrave combina due principi attivi ben noti: bupropione e naltrexone. A differenza di molti altri farmaci per la perdita di peso, non agisce semplicemente come soppressore dell’appetito, ma modula i circuiti cerebrali coinvolti nel desiderio compulsivo di cibo. Questo lo rende particolarmente efficace per i pazienti con “fame emotiva”, un problema che affligge oltre il 60% dei miei pazienti in sovrappeso.

    Le Tre Domande Che Ogni Paziente Dovrebbe Fare Prima di Acquistare Online
    1. La farmacia richiede una valutazione medica completa?
    Le farmacie serie richiedono:

    Anamnesi dettagliata con focus su storia psichiatrica
    Valutazione della pressione arteriosa
    Documentazione di eventuali farmaci in uso
    Discussione sui possibili effetti collaterali
    Se una farmacia online non richiede queste informazioni, e un segnale rosso.

    2. Offrono un follow-up medico?
    Il Contrave richiede monitoraggio regolare, soprattutto per:

    Pressione arteriosa (nei primi 4 settimane)
    Eventuali effetti collaterali neurologici
    Valutazione della risposta al trattamento
    Le farmacie autorizzate programmano controlli a 4, 8 e 12 settimane.

    3. Qual e la loro politica in caso di effetti collaterali?
    Il 17,3% dei pazienti sperimenta nausea nei primi giorni. Una farmacia seria dovrebbe fornire:

    Strategie per gestire gli effetti collaterali
    Opzioni per ridurre il dosaggio
    Linee guida per quando interrompere il trattamento
