As I am sitting in a coffee shop sipping my addiction while viewing my last impulsive notion, which is to look at a dating site. I’m pondering some important questions. I mean the most important one, is why am I doing this? And secondly, why are so many single men holding up fish in their pictures? I mean hundreds of men holding up various types of fish? I am not able to see what other women might be posting, but I can’t imagine they are holding up shopping bags. Oh, look perfect stranger! My new shoes! No, I can’t imagine that women are doing this at all. So, why fish? Is it just a throw back to the earlier days when a hunting and gathering man would be appealing to a women, as a provider. Or is it the new version of “look how big my fish is”…hint, hint?
I have no intention on following though with any of this. I think for me it’s just a way to view what is potentially out there and make me feel better about my decision to just sit here in a coffee shop alone drinking coffee until I reach a healthy caffeine induced agitation. I passed the hypomanic phase that my morning cup of joe often causes about 25 minutes ago. My mood went from thinking the world is fantastic, I’m going to run for office in 2015, to pondering my lack of ability to put together a list for the grocery store. So, for now I will sit, sip and let my mind simmer with many unanswered questions. And the most pressing one at the present is why am I now hungry for fish?

  2. I’d assume if you’re using a site called plenty of fish, the guys are thinking its a clever/kitschy thing to pose with in a photo? No idea, I’ve never used the site.

    Any time online dating gets brought up my advice is voted down into oblivion so I’ll try my best to sugarcoat it this time: you can’t e-shop for chemistry no matter how many fake profiles, witty biographies and quirky hobbies you masquerade behind. If you rely on online dating you’re going to hate life. Just ask Forever Alone RickStevens. 🙂

  4. God as my witness, I was about to congratulate assisse for taking the high road for once.

    Then I read that last sentence and realize he’s in cahoots with Klein trying to hurt my little feelings.

    Keep at it fellas, a couple more thousand comments and you just might make me sad. Oh, and prove my point that you’re both low level sociopaths.

  8. I used that site for a while. I assumed guys thought they were being clever, by holding up a fish to demonstrate that there are plenty of them? I too thought it was gross. “Check me out-I’m killin’ stuff!” derp derp
