The sign up made me choose and I think I chose the wrong word

Posted as picked_one_wrong, 16 August 2026

Looking for
somebody who will help me work it out without deciding it for me
Experience
None. Two months on the app and no conclusions.
Around
the east end, Glasgow

The sign up would not let me past until I picked one of four words. I sat there for a genuinely long time and then chose one because the screen would not go away. It has been on my profile ever since, it is probably wrong, and I have no idea how a person would find out other than by doing something about it.

Thirty three, the east end, no experience of any kind. I have read a great deal, which I now understand is the least useful preparation available, because everything I have read describes how a thing feels and I have no way to check my own answer against it.

What I would like is to talk to somebody who has been doing this a long time and is not bothered by a person who does not know yet. I do not want to be assigned a role by whoever writes to me first. I would like to arrive at one slowly, and I accept that might take a year.

Not looking for anybody who opens with a list of what they would do to me. Not looking for a person who says I obviously am one thing on the basis of nothing. Not looking to meet anywhere private for a first conversation, now or in six months.

What to have sorted before you reply

If this one reads like your own head rather than somebody to answer, the tactics can wait. These three all happen before there is a first match to get wrong.
