Three years<\/strong> ago, I divulged that I’m a major weenie<\/a> when it comes to medical procedures.<\/p>\n

My public inner monologue about\u00a0sperm donation<\/a>\u00a0started two years<\/strong> ago. If you attended the Monti GrandSLAM last month, you got an update. Stay tuned for more on that topic.<\/p>\n

A year<\/strong> ago, I went on a date with “Mike<\/a>“. It was terrible.\u00a0(I feel like I should make a “major weenie” joke here… something about what could’ve salvaged the date, but… nope. I got nothin.)<\/p>\n

It’s not going much better now. The prospects on Match are 0% higher quality than on OKCupid (“PS NO LIBERALS” read a recent profile), and the algorithm—that I’m paying actual US dollars for—notified me that it had matched me with jls1969 because we had the same birth month.<\/p>\n

The same. Birth. Month.<\/p>\n

They tried to make it sound better by saying he didn’t smoke either. OH GOOD GOLLY GOSH, a Virgo or maybe a Libra who is also a non-smoker?! Thank you, match.com—it’s everything I ever dreamed! When I was a tiny girl, I used to say, “One day I want to marry a non-smoker who is a Virgo. Or maybe a Libra.”<\/p>\n

I mustn’t lose faith. There’s always this guy:<\/p>\n

\"Him?\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What do I think about him, match.com?<\/p>\n

I think him’s a her.<\/p>\n

Looks like she thinks him’s a her too.<\/p>\n

Of course, the pic looks like a stock photo plucked from a Google Image search for “straight white teeth”, and the profile is almost too perfectly generic. My guess is it’s a new angle on the old Nigerian bank scam.<\/p>\n

But! Him\/her is not a smoker!<\/p>\n

There’s that!!<\/p>\n

!!!!<\/p>\n

I can’t for the life of me understand why people think I’m jaded.<\/p>\n

Happy Retrobruxist Friday, y’all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
