Yesterday I reactivated my OKCupid profile. It was fun and liberating for about three seconds until the weird messages started and I remembered what I found strange and soul crushingly depressing about it when I used it before.

As any girl who has been on internet dating knows, many men don’t read your profile and will just bombard every woman with copy and pasted messages saying generic nice things.

I guess I have to level a certain amount of respect at this “if you throw enough shit at the wall, some it’s gotta stick” stubborn conviction and dedication to love and romance, but I do wonder if this ever works.
