Update

If you want to know why I haven't updated in a while(sorry, Dan!), it's because I've been spending time here: http://www.darwindating.com. Read the list of requirements, it's pretty funny. Everything on there I agree with, especially the no redheads rule(red-haired people freak me out and are v. scary to me).

It took me less than a day to get accepted(without posting any links, ha!) but I was much disappointed that there are still, in fact, some unattractive people on the site. The whole concept is hilarious in itself, because if you are as hot as you say, why should you have to resort to internet dating? Hey, exhibit A: me. I have to resort to it because I'm psycho and I've already exhausted the local supply of decent men in the greater Boston area. Plus I have social anxiety problems. This is why it is theoretically possible for hot people to need the internet to date.

Here's the email they sent me:

Dear C,

WOW, you're hot! Congratulations on being selected by the oh-so-hot members of Darwin Dating as someone they want to mate with! You are now a fully fledged member of Darwin Dating. :)

Lots of people who have applied for membership have been rejected, so you're definitely in the hottest proportion of the human race.

The next step is to complete your profile online and upload it for other members to view. Once you have done this any member will be able to initiate contact with you and you will be able to contact any other member for free!

As a member you now have a much bigger say in who else will be accepted as members to the site! Once you have logged in you can browse and rate the latest group of applicants.

We've only recently launched the site, so there aren't a huge number of people to search through yet. However traffic is increasing and while we still receive many ugly applicants, hot people are signing up all the time.

Please forward details of the site to your hot friends and hopefully we'll be able to build a nice repository of hot people for you to contact!

Yours in attractive people,

The Darwin Dating team


Yeah, I've had five dates in the past week, and I'm getting messages all the time. It's not that much fun anymore, considering I've seen all the "hot" guys in Boston and really, they're not much to write home about. I'm over it now. What would really be rad is if someone started something like this for smart people only, like make them take an online IQ test before they were allowed to join. But I bet most of the people would be ugly.

I'm also on Beautifulpeople.net, and pickings for Boston dudes are also scant there. That's the problem with exclusivity-- it's lonely. I joined when it first launched and now it's kind of dead.

On a somewhat related note, I've also taken up a sick hobby... in taking nude pictures of myself and posting them on various R and R boards across CL of random cities. I get such a little kick out of getting emails from strangers telling me how much they want to fuck me. Again, this has taken up quite a bit of my time, aside from teaching a freshman seminar this semester... yes, I'm back to being full-time!

Oh, and Ben and I? We're through, obviously. I don't really want to write about it now, except that I returned the damn ring and I hope he catches herpes in Palo Alto.

My internet access is spotty, as I am still mooching off of various ex-boyfriends and friends and sleeping on their couches. I can't seem to find a decent apt. I'm still working out every day and I'm eating one square meal per two days. It's a way of life.

I'll write more later. Right now, I'm late for a dept meeting...
