160/365 Warm and Cozy - a photo on Flickriver

160/365 Warm and Cozy

            Okay guys, don't say I didn't warn you that today's description has absolutely 0% to do with todays photograph. Its very personal, although not altogether serious... more suited to a diary entry so you will be given a free pass to ignore it. Okay? Okay. Now that that is over and done with we shall continue...

So the other week I was sitting down at dinner with some of my pole friends and within the context of the conversation one of the girls made an offhanded comment about being doomed to be single for all eternity. Now considering the way it was spoken I would usually just let it slide and continue the original conversation but on this particular day it occurred to me that this was not an isolated incident and maybe my friend was starting to think her prophecy was true. So I decided to be cheeky interjecting (as you do) with: 

"Well if thats really what you're afraid of why don't you try online dating?"

This question was met with nervous giggles on the part of the other girls at the table, and a mortified stare from it's recipient. 

"No seriously, what's the harm?"

Anyway, apparently in this day and age of 2013 'that kind of thing' still isn't done, and if men approach you online then they only really want to use you for your body and we women deserve more... or some such thing... it was confusing, I couldn't really follow the logic of the argument although I am sure there must have been some there.

Anyway, thats not the point of the story. The point of the story is that it got me thinking about doing the whole thing myself *shock horror* It was an off the cuff kind of thought - because I'm in no way looking for any sort of long term relationship but dating could be fun. I think dating itself is a lost art form... if it ever really existed in the first place - but I did get so far as to think about the kind of profile picture I might use were I to embark upon such an adventure. I mean, I've spent the last half a year doing a self portrait project, one would think that finding 3-5 appropriate pictures of ones self would be easy after all that... 

he-he.... bahahahahahahhahahaaa!!!! Not so much..... not. so. much.

 :S

I found myself looking at all of my photos with new eyes and while I'll stick to my earlier comments about the collection as a whole rounding out to be a pretty descent portrait of myself, at the same time on an individual level I was looking at them screaming "NO DON'T JUDGE ME BASED SOLELY ON THIS. PLEEEEAAAASSSSSE!!!" :S eek.

And that is my point ladies and gentlemen... 160-182 days later (depending on your point of reference) and yet at the same time, nothing. lol
