One of the conversations I had with Zeitgeisty after we established our real life frenemy-ship was the surprising number of men and women we've met from the "Most popular members" page.
(I am on page #1 doncha know. You may question the validity of this, but it's a fact so suck it up)
Once in a while, I scroll through the profiles of a few dozen men or so - those in my age range and vicinity - and mentally check them off: met him, he wrote to me, I wrote to him, slept with him (rarely is this the case due to circumstances not allowing too much early date sex) and so on and so on.
A few weeks back, I went on a date with someone who knows friends of mine. This has happened more than once.
Last year, I became friends with a woman through Nerve on the personals blogs. We shared information about past dates and it turns out that we'd both briefly dated the same sloppy kisser.
I tend to go out in Brooklyn in one of three neighborhoods. It is only a matter of time before I am on a date and I see an ex date in the same bar.
Small circle of bars.
Small circle of people.
Ever decreasing circles of eligible men.
I grew up in a relatively small town and, due to my reasonably conspicuous personality, knew quite a lot of people. Even when I visit 20+ years after leaving, people still "know me". I don't like small town mentality - I don't like too many people all up in my biz.
How is it that in a city of millions of people, I keep seeing the same faces?
(Note to self: must stay off computer)
Here are some I made earlier:
