The over-fifty dating site is so stiff at the knees, it needs a walker.
I decided to try an all-ages site this morning.
I don't know if I'm any more likely to meet someone there, but I sure had way more fun creating a profile.
This site offers 33 flavors of gender identity, and you can choose "open to all". On the creaky site, you could only be a man or a woman, looking for either a man or a woman (not both or neither).
I'm "identity-ish". Bookish. Queerish. Sexual-ish. (I didn't make that up.)
My intro:
❧ ❧ ❧
. . . And you can choose all sorts of questions to answer.
I'd rather talk about movies that sexual/gender identities.
Again, the site is more with the times:
Harry Potter is hardly new, of course, but I like that the site asks your Patronus rather than your spirit animal, which is now considered a cultural appropriation.
I was complaining to a young man about how the guys who've messaged me on Site Oldster don't seem to have read my profile.
The young man explained, "Right. We don't read profiles. We just look at the pictures."
So I tried to choose more informative photos. I labelled this one, "My alter-ego".
(It's Red Bear! She doesn't get much screen time since the arrival of the girlettes, but she'd make herself known to anyone who would share my bed.)
Oh--in the Movies section, I added "Does Christmas smell like oranges to you?" from Nashville. That movie has it all on America.
I wish I hadn't paid for 6 nonrefundable months on the Oldster site. But since I did, I'll leave my profile up. Who knows?

A New Leaf is one of the best romantic comedies.
