Double Blind Experiments in Dating

- As I said yesterday, I am getting bored with going out with the exact same guy in different forms, so I switched up my profile in such a way that it is still very much me, but possibly emphasizing different traits. Let’s see if that changes the demographic I pick up from now on…

- This terrifies me in ways I cannot describe. Let’s state the obvious just to get it out of the way:

1. I’m guessing the type of person who wants to partake in mouse-assisted interplay isn’t going to look like the models in these pictures.
2. THEY HAVE MICE CRAWLING ON THEM IN A BAR.

Now that the air is clear on those two points, there are still so very many things wrong with this concept. The design enough is disturbing enough to call it a day, but the metaphorical hooking up with physically hooking up your mouse tubes makes me uncomfortable in my tummy. So you like mice and mice breeding. That’s fine. I think that’s fun. To each his own. But to make it into a dating concept that you wear in public places takes healthy hobby to a creepy obsession. Then again, maybe if you’re freaky enough to invest in a wearable mouse socialization system, perhaps finding someone just as freaky is exactly what you need. Sort of like the Furries.

- My personal dating life still falls somewhere between disastrous and fantastic, depending on which person we’re talking about me dating. Suffice to say, I expect better things from 2010 than I had in 2009. I’m thinking the motto needs to be “2010: fall in love again.” But I’m reserving the standby, “2010: never gonna love again,” just in case. Don’t worry: I’m still insistent on my Experiments, and you need to start getting excited about the sheer quantity of distain I manage to muster for Valentines Day (or V-day/ VD, as  I prefer to call it).

- Once again, Meghan C. McBlogger has captivated everything I could possibly hope to say about a subject in this wonderful exposé on marriage. It simultaneously delights me and concerns me how much my life parallels hers, and that makes for a feeling that can only be cured/ enhanced with snuggy for your neck. I JOKE. That, too, terrifies me.

So check back tomorrow for lucky Experiment #13, and believe you me, it’s a doozy! As always, thanks for reading, and follow me on Twitter (@dbeid) for updates on upcoming dates!
