Dear absolutely fucking great blog;

Yesterday in a strange impulse I can only explain by too many months of 0% male sexual attention I decided to create a profile on one of those ¨dating apps¨.  Of course, because I am way too sophisticated to create a profile on Tinder, I created one on one of the ¨serious¨ apps, paying a whopping 100€ for 6 months. (Turns out I could have paid half that price if I had only clicked on the miniscule offer, right beneath the original price, but of course it was in absolutely impossible to read  small white letters, making it basically invisible to the human eye).

As soon as my profile was up I became literally bombarded by messages of middle aged men, desperate for a reply to their ¨Hi There!¨ or ¨Hey Beautiful¨ or ¨Can you put up a full body picture? No offence, but you could be fat¨. And since I decided I was not replying to them I got the typical: ¨You bitch! Think you are too good to answer? You are all the same!¨ or ¨So that means you ARE fat!¨
Then this decent looking bloke starts talking to me. Nothing special, just decent looking. He tells me he is a teacher, I tell him what I do, and he asks me to talk to me away from the app. So I think; ¨Fuck it, he seems friendly¨ and I give him my number. Immediately he asks me for a ¨better picture¨ so he can have a better look at me. Don't really understands what he means by it, so as a joke I send him a picture of me and my mum on new years eve.

Now, so you understand; I am small. About 1.55m tall (or not tall), but here in Spain I am by no means out of the ordinary, I am quite normal. Also I have a normal built. I am not skinny but by no means fat, just normal built.

However as soon as he sees my picture he immediately says that I am not his type. Keep in mind he saw 4 other pictures of me on my profile.  At this point I honestly don't care. I've been talking to this guy for literally 15 minutes, so I could not care less. I just start wondering if it's because I'm petite or because I have dark hair or what? Why ask for some ones number just to tell them they are not your type. What type? The type that takes pictures with their mother?

So now, I am still receiving message after message from men, sometimes desperate, sometimes weird, sometimes downright hostil, and I paid 100€ to keep receiving them for another 6 months.

Moral of the story: Do Not Pay for Dating Profiles! It's not fucking worth it....
