That's gay...

So I've recently come out... sort of...

I decided it was high time to reveal that I was interested in men on Facebook. I actually did this about a month or so ago, but I didn't have the blog then. Let me tell you what happens when you are male interested in men on Facebook... Oh my god, so many GLBT (but mostly G) ads all up and down your side bar... and I'm starting to get sick of it. I almost miss the "... And I'm Mormon" ads... I said almost... What the fuck, that's a lie... I'll have a post about that later...

Anyway, ever since then, not a Facebook sesh has gone by that I haven't seen at least five ads for SpeedDate.com. If you're familiar with any online dating site, you know that your first .0004 seconds is free, then they rape your credit card so you can see who your "Most Compatible" are. SpeedDate is no different. You join for free, create your account, and start browsing. All hunky-dory, right? Until you get a notification from Joe Bob Jr. who has winked at you. "Joe Bob Jr. has winked at you! Reply now?" Well, you think, he's good looking... Sure why not. *click* "Joe Bob Jr. only likes to talk to people who have verified their account. For only $.50 per month, you can be verified and view Joe Bob Jr.'s account!" Well, you think, 50 cents isn't that expensive... Sure why not. *10 minutes of entering your entire life's story into some verification page later* "Thanks Ashton! Here is Joe Bob Jr.'s account! Would you like to message Joe?" Well, you think, he seems like a good guy... Sure, why not. "Ashton, for only $39.95, you can message any of our members and start finding your soul mate today!" Now wait just a fucking second, you think, all of these hoops and now you want to charge me the same price as a gym membership? Fuck this, I'm going to Connexions... *another 20 minutes of unsubscribing and deleting your "membership" later* "But wait, Ashton, before you delete your account (please note, we will still keep you on record and e-mail you from time to time, no matter how many times you unsubscribe, just to piss you off), don't you want to at least try us out? Remember, with out us, you will be sad and alone for the rest of your life..." Excuse me, you think, how dare you? *throw computer out the window and go into the world and meet real people*

I'm sorry, I shifted from having my Facebook page stereotyping me as your run-of-the-mill homosexual to how infuriating dating sites can be. Shifting back..... Now. I can't even remember what Facebook used to advertise... But maybe it's time to start doing to these damn SpeedDate ads what I did to the damn "... And I'm Mormon" ads: "X" "Offensive" Nuff said.
