Happy Tuesday Star Troopers! So today we’ll discuss the abomination that is Online Dating. Once again yall know what I’m going to say…. I hate it here! First of all, my Taurus moon is deeply disturbed by the idea of not being able to feel a person out and about, face to face. I am also a homebody, so there is also the issue of not getting out enough to have the opportunity to meet anyone face to face. Yea, I know... I am making things difficult for myself; I don’t deny it! Then pile on top of the pandemic having us in a chokehold for another year, what is life right now?!?
Anyway, I challenged myself to join a couple of dating sites just to see what was going on. When I tell you I cannot wait for my one-month subscription to end. Talk about the pits! I have had to block more men than I can count. Had one potential but that’s over once my subscription is over because…there is no real conversation going on. I hate small talk, it’s cringe. And he has a Gemini stellium and Libra stellium so, that is a big “NO” for me. Those of you who have had a love seasons reading from The Astrology Lady understand what I mean. I find it hilarious that a lot of these men expressed the need for intriguing conversation but cannot hold a conversation to save their lives. Very…interesting, suspicious even. So yea there is no mind-blowing, deep conversations on the app so far.
And can we discuss the blaring red flags of the men who consciously type out all of their trust issues and hang-ups within their short bios? Like what is happening here?? If you aren’t ready to date, why did are you here bro? whew all I can do is laugh and wait. I’m having horrible love transits anyway so at this point I am torturing myself. But it was a fun experience. Seeing the different men and their reactions to being approached. Many were extremely cryptic in their replies, some that make it clear that they are looking to hook up immediately, and those who want to have dry what are you doing conversations. I can’t believe this is where we are but when my transits start looking better I may give it another try.
Another wtf was the large number of men expressing that they wanted to date women who were independent and stating they were traditional and believed in gender roles. Hmmm… as I said earlier, I hate it here! I have a dang 6th house stellium. I can do things myself however, I refuse to date and or deal with a man who feels that he should not court me appropriately. I definitely expect a lot out of men and do not have much tolerance for those who make promises they cannot keep. So, things get complicated when men state their preferences and then do not hold themselves accountable.
Write in and let us know how you feel about online dating. Have you been successful with dating online or did the creepers pop out on you also? Do you all have any tips on navigating virtual dating? Have you had experienced dead-end conversations that lead to you blocking them?
