I read yesterday that dating sites and apps have ruined sexuality for a majority of men. I believe it. THe 6, 6, and 6 rules says that the only men getting anywhere on those apps are 6 feet tall and muscularly handsome, have a 6-figure income, and are at last 6 inches in the clutch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will never be the first 6 but I have made it to the second tier in my illustrious corporate past. I’m not at 6-figures presently but I don’t see why I can’t get there again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What surprised me about the article was not these superficial qualities women end up settling for in the men they meet online. The article added that fewer than 20% of men are endowed with 6 inches or more. Is that even true? Despite not being 6 feet tall I guess that still made me quite the catch when I at least satisfied two of the 6, 6, and 6 criteria. Today, without a respectable level of income, I don’t think meeting just one of the criteria will get me far on dating apps. I’ve had a few brushes with interesting women but in retrospect felt like desperation had kicked in for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I believe all the negative things said about dating apps. Statistically they make connections virtually impossible for the majority of people who invest their time with that stuff. I still do but it’s largely out of boredom and, dare I say, a mild strain of desperation. I have real world prospects at present but nothing is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked a long way yesterday. from 30th street to 92nd street and back. I found an unexpected telephone EXchange name right in plain sight, on a piece of road I’ve been on a number of times, not an abundant number of times but enough to make me ask how I missed seeing this HIckory or HInkley exchange right there on Astoria Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a long, much-needed stramble up Astoria way. I had the option to sit at the desk and do more work on the dedserv but I chose instead to do that which I cannot typically do on a normal workday. Walk the walk. Be a fl\u00e2neur again. I felt fine and slept well to show for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was not expecting any Super Bowl in my Super Bowl Sunday but was surprised to find that Channel 2 actually comes in loud and clear to my television.I had the game on but no interest could be raised. I had in mind to look out for a friend who does commercials in LA. He moved there about 10 years ago and almost immediately hit it big with Geico and other name brands. Problem is I can barely recognize him compared to what he looks like in person. That’s not really a problem, I guess, just an observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t knowingly witness his commercial, if it even aired. I turned off the TV not long into the first quarter. He is a friend from the old bar scene of yore, that scene which no longer exists save for occasional online group hugs and reminiscences when someone from there dies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
