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.]

  4. Hi there. These pieces from https://therabbit-skins.com/ feel like part of childhood itself — simple, soft, and ready for everything from crawling across the carpet to dancing in socks. The bodysuits fit like a second skin, the tees are always just right, and the sweatshirts hug with just enough warmth. Nothing fancy — just clothes that keep up with real days.

  5. Hey guys,

    I’ve been exploring the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was super skeptical. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few questionable sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a legit 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 regulatory certificate (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? No waiting around. And the game selection? *Massive*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: plinko . 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 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, not worth it.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. 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 cash and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, 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 interested or trying to find a good 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 don’t let the house win too much ??

  18. Hey people,

    I’ve been exploring the world of online gaming lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your cash, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few questionable sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that distinguish a legit casino from a complete fraud. 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 regulatory certificate (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just walk away. No bonus is worth the gamble of never seeing your money 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 “juicy” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been playing on these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: play jonny . What really impressed me was the customer service. 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, hard pass.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to go for clear 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 cash 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 interested or trying to find a decent 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 may the odds be ever in your favor ??

  27. Domain Rating
    Site ranking is important for search engine optimization.

    We specialize in attracting Google search robots to your site to boost the search ranking using article placements, analyzer sites, and we also drive crawlers through third-party sources.

    There are 2 main types of search robots – spider and cataloging.

    Exploratory crawlers are the initial visitors to the site and also instruct cataloging bots to scan.

    The more clicks from crawlers to the site, the more positive it is for the project.

    Prior to starting the project, we will provide you with a image of the domain rating from ahrefs.com/backlink-checker, and after the work is completed, there will be another a snapshot of the ranking metrics from ahrefs.com/backlink-checker.

    Payment is made only after results!

    Estimated production time is between 3 and 14 days,

    Occasionally, additional time is necessary.

    Our services are available for sites up to 50 DR.
