So I've got this idea for a dating website - one where you can search/match potential partners based on common music, film, arts interests. And not just a simple b.s. "oh you're both into MUSIC" tag, but like "oh, you both like Grizzly Bear and Yeasayer" type thing, or "you both enjoy A Song Of Ice And Fire." Anyone feel like helping me get this off the ground?
careful, LD: a certain feisty RooTu-making brunette in the ATL happens to love some Ke$ha. (fortunately, she loves enough other stuff to make up for it!)

I typed in 4 of my fav bands just to see what kind of fish are in my sea. This guy pops up first.
"I brew beer, play darts, and host wine and cheese parties. Currently global ops. manager at a nonprofit here in NYC, and creative director at an upcoming digital agency."
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

There's a difference between Kesha as a guilty pleasure and Kesha being similar to every other artist/band on your iPod.
THANK YOU HOLLS ;D
And yes, LD, you're right, Ke$ha is a guilty pleasure of mine. I will not deny or be ashamed of the fact that I will get DOWN to some "tic tock" or the remix of "blow" in my car. Or in my living room while I vacuum.
Can we add a 'Guilty Pleasure Artists' to our profile on this magical new website? Just so when the Wine-and-Cheese-Party-Hosting hotties show up as liking Lady Gaga, we can qualify that as a GP or not...

I'm a little perplexed as to why this guy is not considered "top shelf". I'm imagining him to be something like Kenny Powers, who is obviously as top of the shelf as you can get.

That is not a bad idea really, nothing worse than going on a date with a girl that "likes music" only to find out she meant Nicklelback, Taylor Swift, and the Black Eyed Peas. In fact that is worse than someone who does not like music, because the first girl will eventually end up trying to make you listen to the crap she likes.
Or she makes an "ewww" face at one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs... Seriously, that was the hardest I have ever had to fight the urge to hit a woman in my life.

There's a picture that I wish I could find. On the top is a picture of a couple and a single person. The couple looks happy and the single person is saying, "I wish I was in a relationship." Then on the bottom is a single person looking happy and the couple is saying, "I wish I were single." I find that is often the case.
^ agreed. sometimes a good fight with someone you love isn't so bad though. (edit: I don't think that means sticking around, I love someone who I could never see myself with again - and vice versa)
Hindsight is 20/20 though.

I need to get my act together before I even think about a relationship. I'm a bum.
This is actually really important and a lot of my idiot friends don't take this step. Everyone has their low points, gets dumped or whatever, and everyone handles that situation differently. Me? I turn into Hank Moody, start smoking cigs again, drink brown liquor the majority of my time awake and act like a complete and total a-hole towards everyone. But what's important is that before you throw your hat in the ring you sort your sh*t out. Get a haircut, shave, go for a run, organize your music collection, just do sh*t to feel the sense of accomplishment, gain some confidence and build on it. Rome wasn't built in a day, and people aren't going to get over a breakup in 5 minutes.
Also, if you go right back into the dating circle as an emotional wreck you're going to hurt someone. I've done it, and hurting someone you had no intention of hurting just because you're a surly whiskey-fueled hate machine is a worse feeling than getting dumped.
I guess at this point I in whining I can say this: but what do you do when even if you put on your best hat - no girl thinks you ever have your shiz together?
I freelance, and my head is everywhere at once - and constantly am edged or concerned about the next gig, having fun when I can, and not making myself broke in the process. I find that a lot women, a lot of nyc women, hate instability - and I chose a career where unless I get lucky, it stays unstable.
shrug, I just don't usually get to vocalize that
ps. I'm also a little odd, and my proclivity for odd music, concerts, not really being into the newest stuff all the time (while yes living in the extension of what has now become hipster Brooklyn), going to shows by myself, enjoying my beers throughly, and being a know it all smart ass. Let alone a hundred other things... it makes me think I will never "get my shit together"
