Social experiment

Well, I did it.

To see what would happen, I changed my online profile to read, in part, "I'm at the stage in my life where I just want to meet someone and devote my life to taking care of him."

Annnnnnnnd... interest skyrocketed. From guys with "conservative, home-grown values" who'd need me to work out more often and move 300 miles away from my home to take care of them.

Sigh. 

It was a little disheartening. One of my friends told me "I was afraid that your faith in mankind would be unrecoverable after this. I think I might be right."

And she was very nearly right.

Then I decided to try one more thing. I changed "I'm at the stage in my life where I just want to meet someone and devote my life to taking care of him"to "I have a wicked, wicked sense of humor."

That also garnered a ton of interest.

What little faith I had in online fellas has been restored. Somewhat.

But I'm still not pinning my hopes on online dating.

At all.
