Thirsty-Ass Dudes of the Internet
May. 8th, 2018 03:07 pmYou would think I'd have learned my lesson from Instagram, Facebook, and generally, existing on the internet since about 1997, but I did it again. I occasionally check into FB since, as I've mentioned, it's how I keep up with my family. Otherwise the whole site could just go jump in a lake. But I had two new friends requests and both looked like more or less legit profiles, so I accepted both. One was from an older woman.
One was from a man.
Now, he had friends, even mutual friends, some pics, his bio was at least partially filled out, so not like the usual Thirsty-Ass Dude profile with no info, a dozen pics of himself, and something like 2k+ friends, all female. So being an idiot, I assumed he was for real. After all, I just was added to a private vegan/plant based athletics group and every time you're in a new group you pick up some new friends.
Then the messages start. "Good morning," "how are u" "i hope your day is going well" OMG stop talking to me, what the hell is your problem. Seriously, I added you in good faith and you want to start a big damn conversation, no introduction, just ... UGH NO.
So I unfriended and (I think) blocked him. Hopefully this will be the last I see/hear of it. And of course I still have weirdos on Insta and Tumblr, but I've stopped approving new people if they're A). male, and B). I don't already know who they are. Seriously, I'm going to start putting something about this in my bios. Not that it will stop them.
Anyway, I guess I'll get my run for the day in. My calf muscles are kind of achy for some reason - I only need to do three miles but I'm just not wanting to. I've had some issues lately getting into my runs mentally, even if my body feels fine. I don't know, maybe I need some new music on my playlist? Maybe there's a nutrient I'm not getting enough of?
