Your social media profile

Just a hint, guys:

Your profile on social media sites is where you answer common questions about yourself.

It is not where you ask other people to ask you the questions you didn't bother to answer.

"idk i hate profiles hit me up and ask anything" is not a profile.  It's equivalent to saying "I have absolutely nothing going on and I'm hoping you won't notice."  Plus, everyone hates profiles.  No one likes filling out the same damn thing over and over, especially for apps like grindr that gives you about 100 characters and filters URLs (or Adam4Adam which gives you more space but removes all URLs from messages).  It's one reason I started this blog: so I could point people here and not write the same things so many times.

Didn't work all that well, btw, because about a third of guys I chat with refuse to look at a profile.  One even went so far as to say "I'm not gonna read stuff about a guy."  (talk about nothing going on!)

But yeah, fill out the damn profile.  Empty profiles belong to empty heads.

The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.

In the vein of this Oprah quote, I've been tumbling a little. You can check it out here if you wish. It's not really original content, but it's some of the things I like.
