I spend way too much time on Twitter. And when I'm not converting my every thought, dream, hope and love for peanut butter into 140 characters, I'm usually focused on dating, sex and relationships -- either helping other people sort their situations out or analyzing my own. Tweet Nothings will be the conglomeration of these two seemingly disparate worlds as I select one tweet each week to glean something new about love, sex or wherever the two meet.
I'm somewhat new to following @moxieinthecity, whose raison d'être is almost too exhausting to even contemplate: she seems to be a one-woman enterprise devoted to giving dating advice, hosting non-judgmental social events and organizing sex ed classes, and that's not even taking into consideration the time she spends trolling dating Web sites so that the rest of our worst suspicions can be confirmed.
The guy she brought our attention to, you see, not only posted a photo of himself lounging on a bed sans top but also explained that his trouble wasn't meeting women (translation: he's super-cool), but finding the ones who have "substance" (translation: we're dumb).
So what does her discovery of this man tell us about dating today? We already know that there are a lot of creeps out there, so just because this guy also informed his profile readers that he's dated some famous and infamous women, he won't earn any Tool of the Year awards in a world where the Balloon Boy's dad and Dustin Diamond roam freely.
Still, our shirtless wonder isn't all bad. He could have written, after all, that it was hard to find chicks with good racks and tight asses. But I don't care what any of those seduction teachers say -- touting yourself while criticizing those you're trying to meet simply isn't an effective way to meet women who don't hate themselves, substance be damned.
The good news: Men and women are looking for the same qualities. The bad: If this week's Mr. Personality is representing the dudes, we're not likely to meet in the middle anytime soon.

Ah the quest for people who understand the meanings of relationships. Dating sites are full of people not being themselves. I would rather meet an intelligent, humorous, confident in her own beauty, woman while shopping for new socks. Than look at sites that allow men and women to pick the things they want others to see, and hide the fact that they might hate puppies or think my enjoyment of funny t-shirts is a bit too far out there.

Yes, well, his "technique" seems to add up to a whole lotta sweet nothing if you ask me. Which you didn't. But I'm a gonna tell you anyway. Because that's how I roll.
