Observations on internet dating

Yesterday morning I went to the courts to shoot around. I was much more flexible and agile, worked on some of my old moves like jump stop and hop, was a bit more adventurous in jumping and rebounding, absolutely loved it! So much freedom is there when I'm on the court by myself. I'm also starting to feel a bit of that hunger too of playing against others, just a little half court scrimmage and seeing how I fare. I'm tempted to give Mike a call and organise something, but I want the next time to see him to be with a healthy knee and have him see the new and improved me.

I bummed around at home a bit and then went to the city internet cafe to try to print my dad's plane ticket but it wouldn't print for some reason, so I drove to the shopping centre near me to do it. After printing it off there I decided to check out Myer to see if they had anything that was a bargain given the festive season, but despite all the 30% off signs, everything was still the same price!!

I heard someone call my name but dismissed it as calling someone else, and then later heard it again and I looked. It was Najmah, lol. He was working there and we had a brief chat in which he told me he had broken up with his girlfriend of five years cause she was crazy and how he went overseas to get over it. Hmmm.

After that I went back home, got changed and went to the park for a jog. I think I did about half a lap, if not a bit more. This time it wasn't my shoulders, but my fitness I suppose. Or maybe mentally I just wasn't motivated enough.

At home, I bummed on the net a bit and then decided to go to the casino. I told myself it'd be the last time, since it was going to be the end of the year. I lost $400 rather easily and left, went to the massage shop and had a massage, so it was kinda like one of 'those' nights I used to have back when gambling was a much bigger problem. I somehow miss it, but keep telling myself it's not something to be missed.

Today I went for a one mile jog, did it in 8 minutes 30 seconds. Kinda bad cause I was actually aiming for 7 minutes, haha. It was drizzling rain too. I remember a few days ago it was raining and I saw people running and I admired them for their efforts. They made no excuses, whereas most people would've said "oh it's raining, I'll skip it today". So that really made me want to run in the rain.

Internet dating
So anyway, when I was in Lismore I got so bored I decided to try internet dating, and created an account with Oasis. I don't think I ever took it too seriously because my descriptions were either exact and extreme opposites of what the mainstream people said, or rubbish from Eminem's lyrics, lol.

I really only talk to this one girl who is originally from Canada, have no intentions of meeting her but we chat pretty well together and it's a good way to pass time.

Some of my observations thus far are:

- white girls will NOT take a second look at an Asian guy. It's kinda sad, but it's true. I get rejected over and over again if I try to add an Australian girl. I have much better luck adding people who weren't born here.

- I am attracted to people who are not my type, or rather, I am not their type.

- women lie about their age. Sometimes it can be pretty blatant and obvious.

- women lie about what they want. A common example is that they want a "nice, caring, funny guy". Ummm...I'm nice, caring and funny. Oh, but what they don't (want to) mention is how important looks, or nationality, is to them.

I'm thinking bout deleting my account soon because it seems futile if this is the way it's going to be, and I also don't want people recognising me.
