For years, Aofb would check her online status but got no responses whenever she posted a poll even though she got a lot of hits.
Then, she wrote stories about organising vigilante mobs that lived in the community, especially gun owners who actually wanted people to fear them, making sure that the occasional gun owner went off the deep end and killed a few [dozen] people every now and then — what was the point of making sure people understood the power of your arsenal if you never demonstrated it; e.g., dropping a few atomic bombs on cities full of innocent people in a country at war?
AofB liked herself. She liked her online friends. However, in the physical world, the guys she met were real matches for her personality but no match for what she thought her imagination told her she [should] want.
AofB looked at her online profile:
I enjoy anime, especially scifi, cosplay, guys who don’t care what other people think of them, creative types, mismatched shoelaces, the colour red, chewing gum, rosy cheeks and wearing fluffy fleece sweaters in the middle of summer.
She looked at computer dating matches. Hmm…she started to see a pattern.
AofB changed her online profile:
I enjoy shooting deer, gutting them, making deer sausage, cooking a nice meal for my hungry soulmate, sewing my own clothes, growing my own food and big, mean-looking dogs who have kitty cat personalities.
She looked at computer dating matches. Hmm…she started to see a pattern…the same computer dating matches popped up!
What was it about her personality test results that made her online profile pointless?
She went back to her latest poll and asked a question which would simultaneously appear on multiple social media sites she frequented:
What are you looking for in a mate?:
- Someone just like me.
- Someone completely different than me, but compatible.
- A mate I can treat as my personal punching bag.
- Who needs a mate when you’ve got [fill in the blank]?
A week later, she checked the results of her poll. No answer…hmm…what was the oracle of the Internet trying to tell her?
= = = = =
