divacurlz: the pseudonym.

since i was in hi skool, i've always called myself a divastar. but everyone keeps taking my damn word and i want to know why. seriously party people. i invented it. divastar is like sasha fierce's older, badass sister. she's totally fabulous and chic, yet down-to-earth like people always say about stars in their vanity fair and playboy interviews.

so on the dating site i'm on, there are 14 ladies whose username is "divastar" of some variation. everything from "divastar" with "wtf" to "divastarchild." so because i refuse to do some variation of divastar on the dating site, i decide on this:

divacurlz.

why divacurlz? because maybe it kicks divastar in the ass. maybe it's anything but the obvious. maybe it's because my hair was curly that day and i thought having diva in my username was way more important than star. either way, i get asked that question all the time by men. of course my pic as you can see has my straight hair. i don't usually put a curly hair pic on there.

i'm thinking of changing my username to "starchild" to pay homage to jamiroquai but i'd rather not deal with the questions, i'm not too witty when it comes to sarcastic responses...

but the online dating pseudonym is interesting since it totally makes everyone question why they picked what they picked. i mean seriously, if you have a pseudonym that reads something like "what yr looking for" or "totallyradjim," i'm not feeling it. if you quote a movie character name that's awesomely bad, i'll think about whether or not i'm feeling it. either way there's the question of how you picked it. so at least you have an idea of how i picked mine.

so one of the first emails i received when i joined a second dating site was from a gross older man (who looked like someone's dad) whose pseudonym on this site (not on another site, but i'll get to that) had the reference of being a golfer and a nurse in it. this guy totally wrote to me and to make a long story short told me he built these fucking machines for bdsm.

now considering i didn't know what the whole acronym meant, i went to wikipedia to find out. holy crap. that was way more informative than anyone could ever ask for. i'll tell you what though, telling this story to other people was fascinating. since i've never seen it, someone said "oh like burn after reading." i guess. well this guy totally did that. gotta admire his honesty, but that was such a banana sandwich and i mean crazy!

now one would think, "if he's saying this in his first email to someone, then he MUST put this on his profile." so i go look. guess what? nothing. not a damn thing! oh did i mention he sent me a link to his youtube channel where he has demonstrations (not with people but just turning it on) of how his "machines" work. and his username on youtube? it's referencing master (since he so kindly pointed out to me in the email that he's a "dom") and his first name. if you've been on this site, apparently every woman gets an email from him.

i wish his name on the dating site (not the youtube) was the master + first name. i think that would've made me laugh more than golfer + nurse.

double take.

and here's my new pic...

lookey here.

so this was my old pic...

and so it starts.

so approximately 3 months ago i decided to rejoin the dating world. i picked the online realm (for the third time) for a few reasons, but mostly it's easier to cyberstalk; with the ridiculous amounts of social media outlets coupled with public records online, it's too fantastic to pass up. so between then and now, i have had 13 first dates. 13 FIRST DATES. only one of the 13 (#9, but we'll get to him later) turned into a second date. i honestly don't remember all of them and wish i had started this sooner, but the most memorable of the 13 are below...

#1
after spending 4 hours together, when the bill came he asked, "How do you want to do this? I'll leave it up to you."

#3
good first date (coffee), stood me up for date #2.

#7
great indian food, total gent, used to date a friend of mine and he just cd not move past that.

#9
only time it turned into a second date. second date was great: sushi dinner, blues band at double door after. i realized throughout the course of the date that i wasn't physically attracted to him since he slightly resembled on of my best friends' ex-fiancee...so he kissed me at the end of the night and grabbed my ass. after nervously laughing at him, he asked why i laughed i replied, "bc i made me laugh," and he countered, "oh, bc i grabbed yr ass?" and then proceeded to grab both cheeks with both hands. needless to say i did not hear from him again, so glad he got the hint.

#14
great night at a french bakery, when i get home he texts me and asks me if i have a problem with the fact that he has a lingerie fetish.

------------------------------------------------

something interesting to note is i have a sexy Vivi pic on my profile. finally one of my friends asked me if i thought i invited a certain type of man based on that pic. i think she makes a good point. so i changed my pic.

------------------------------------------------

so i've decided to start this blog and chronicle my crazy dating antics in the hopes that...well i don't know. maybe entertain you, and maybe so i can remember this craziness.
