Online Dating

I have recently joined a few online dating sites im not taking too seriously and logging in once or twice a week. I feel more of an urge to log in once a week to keep things moving slowly as im still not even sure this is a good idea and whether im even ready for this. I find it quite funny when I look thru profiles how ready I am to reject a man based on his looks , it makes me feel quite shallow.

I think I also struggle on how to describe myself am I full figured or curvy. If I put curvy and then someone meets me and thinks im not curvy more full figured , then I have misold myself oh the agony. Im slighty joking about the full figured/ curvy struggle in case you didnt guess.

Its almost like a popularity contest , you want lots of views and winks and men or women to like you enough to email you and boost your ego. I can imagine being on a dating if not getting those things can be depressing the discovery that you are as not as wonderful as you thought you were. I had no such expectation I wasnt expecting much attention cos im a bit different skin colour, size, height and im not the best at writing profiles that make people think I must meet that girl. But its been interesting talking to people not sure if it will lead anywhere.

Its quite interesting being on dating site, to see what people must have in a partner. They must be taller than 5ft 4 , must of gone to university, must be this particular race, must not smoke. must not have kids. I think it encourages a certain pickness and im not sure whether thats a good thing.
