Unscientific Data-Gathering

[leahbobet]

Okay. For a variety of reasons, mostly involving long-term relationships, I've not dated very much in the past seven years. It occurs to me I have no idea what's standard.

Of course, I am solving this via silly internet polling. :p

Life's more fun that way.

(Sorry, I know this poll is kinda heteronormative. If I could cash in for the shot that makes me like girls more, I would probably do so at this point out of sheer frustration, but it's not the dynamic I'm trying to figure out at present.)

[Poll #1101787]

Science thanks you.

I tend to say things like, "No, I have had my nose tattooed a bright blue, and I constantly wear upside-down tutus on my head with a hole cut for my face."

Any guy who can't deal with sarcastic WTFery from me is not really friend material, much less anything else. (Not that I am currently in search of anything else, having been adequately -- nay, abundantly -- supplied with anything else for years now.)

Good plan. *g*

I am just getting sad that every time I get to think I might like a person? It becomes smarmy time. Bleh.

There is more than enough smarm out there to go around (and around and around). Also, some perfectly good people have been trained that it is their job to indicate interest through smarm, and have not yet trained themselves out of it.

But there's more than smarm. Really. I promise.

Okay. I will take your word for it.

*puts the game face back on*

Game face is not a permanent requirement.

I am, unfortunately, feeling the need for it today.
