Okay. I give up.
I'm no good at okcupid or myspace. This is because, as odd as it may seem, I'm shitty about talking about myself with an audience. Socially, this equation describes how introverted I am:
S = ( 1/p2) x ((2h*w ) + f + c - (b2 - b ))
Where
S = socialiablity index. 1 is the point between introversion and extroversion. The higher the more extroverted.
p = number of other people.
h = cumulative hotness of the women present (where 1 = most people, 2 = attractive 3 = seriously hot 4 = can make a living based on looks alone).
w = number of women (if zero count 2h/w as = 1)
f = 1 if the conversation involves football.
c = 1 if the conversation involves cinema/movies.
b = number of people more then me who are drinking
(In real life there would be a number of other topics that would provide a slight positive charge).
So imagine these situations.
A = I sitting with an attractive women (h = 2) in a cafe talking about movies and we're both drinking soda.
(1/1 x (2/1 + 0 + 1 - 0 ) = Socialness factor of 3. I'm in my element.
B = Four guys and I are sitting at a table in a sports bar talking about a game. They are all drinking.
(1/16 x (1 + 1 + 0 - (16-4)) = Socialness factor of minus 0.625. I probably rarely talk.
c = I have been invited to the playboy mansion and am in the hot-tub with 4 bunnies and Hef. He's smoking a stogie and drinking a whiskey and two of the bunnies are doing shots while the other two are not drinking anything. We talk about movies AND football.
( 1/25 x ((2*16)/4) + 1 + 1 - (9 - 3))) = Socialness factor of 0.16. I probably mention the 49ers once and shut up.
I mention this to underscore how bad I am presenting myself before a group. Consider, in this very journal
this entry the ill-advised honesty of which can only be the result of social disfunction, insanity or a complete lack of understanding of normal human behavior. Note: I also asked my future wife, while she was walking back to my room after our first date, if she was "into bondage" just to get a response. See!
This has come to a head because of myspace and okcupid. On both I have terrible profiles: (
myspace,
okcupid). This is because with big faceless crowds out there I have only two levels: too much and not enough.
But you. You my friends can help.
I want your aid in writing me accurate and interesting but not over the top profiles for both.
So ... what do I have that is worth keeping? What should I abandon? How do I summarize myself? What do people notice about me? What about me? And who would I like to meet?
