[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[Carly Mihalakis]

Afternoon, Marci, and other interesteds,

         Sounds to me like your perceptions about 
your truth have been watered down, perpetually 
doubted even, because it seems Ol'Sighty doesn't, 
is unable perhaps to wrap his head around our 
vantage. It is true, you can tell a helova lot 
about a person by the things named (I.E. 
someone's smell, body sounds, the aroma of their 
breath, texture and shape of hands, whereas, a 
friggen photo is empirically hollow, has no 
depth, and scant meaning that is appreciable  to 
us except, of course, to ol'Sighty himself. 
Unless, of course, you find meaning in 
Ol'Sighty's telling you how "attractive" or 
"unattractive" the man happens to be, but  to his eye alone.
So, if I were you, I'd let all that photo shit 
go! Doesn't appear that you need it.  23/2015,
