I have a new addiction. I still have my old ones, though I've been neglecting to do them as often as I'd like. I've always enjoyed my previous addictions (smoking [cigarettes], drinking, and womanizing)as they seem to each hold their own allure, as I'm sure most on ubersite would agree.
I've been doing a lot of travelling lately. Not travelling the world or anything, just been going out of town a lot for various reasons. Not being in New Orleans is hard on my system, as most cities seem to have a last call and I my requisite of alcohol is not always met before last call. Travelling from town to town has left me using my laptop a lot more than before. It's not a great laptop as it doesn't play any new games very well, but it serves it's purpose and I don't foresee getting a new one soon.
Being on the road is a constant bore. Soon tiring of stuff to do, I turned my attention to something which would, along with my insomnia, ultimately keep me up many a nights. I have grown addicted to judging people.
Now we all judge people, and I did so constantly before this addiction took hold. But never have I sat and rated people for hours on end, until recently. I once had a pic on hotornot.com, I reached a 9.1 before they stopped counting votes. 9.1 is a good rating, though I must admit that many of my female friends said they went by and gave me a 10. I decided that I should rectify this, so I reset my score, used the same pic, and now I'm at a 7.7. It's not quite as high as I hoped, but not bad, and I didn't cheat. But I digress, this is not the point.
I had become addicted to rating sites, how did this happen? I pondered the notion that I had somehow just lost all touch with reality. I soon decided I had done that long before. But this was so different. I could be as superficial as possible and meet women who were as easily as superficial as I. It was great, knowing someone is interested in you before you talk to them alleviates a great deal of pressure. It seemed perfect... yet flawed.
I'm not gonna sit here and say I've never met someone off the internet. The internet has grown in years past and it's not taboo to meet strangers you would not normally meet. So, what was wrong. Was it the thought of addiction or the shallowness of it all. What was wrong.
We've all been rejected from time to time. To some of us, rejection is part of the dating world, a part of life; yet, to others rejection keeps them down their whole lives. It tears at their self-esteem and moral fiber leaving only the drained remains of a once-happy person. I am the former, but I was behaving like the latter. I am a hunter, I need the chase, without the chase there is no victory. It was as if I had corrupted the system, like I had pretended to be soemthing I was not to gain an easy victory.
Superficial and shallow I may be, but I still need to hunt. I still have an addiction, but admitting I do is the first step to recovery. Or something.

A 7.7 on hotornot is about a 3.7 in the real world.

I ranked pretty high on that website. Then again, I model for a living.
Well, I walk around in my tighty whities in front of my full-body mirror a couple times a day-- if you want to count that as modeling.
What I'm trying to say is--
Wanna meet?
