Love Story

So I placed a personal ad of sorts. It was more completing a compatibility profile, and checking out my matches, but not paying any money to actually talk to them. It turns out, out of the 8 Million members of this website, I'm matched with 5 men. One lives in Puerto Rico, one in Indianapolis, one in Blacklick, Ohio(what?), and two in Columbus. There are all Indian, save White guy Kelly, and the most we have in common by viewing our profiles is that they feel they can't live without food. Yeah, neither can anybody else. Wow, and people actually pay for this?!

I didn't limit myself to age, weight, race, or location, so it's not like I could expand the parameters of my search. But others must have some serious limitations because I got 5 matches! Out of 8 million people! And this is reportedly the most popular of online dating services. I guess I can feel better that I never date, apparently there is only like 0.00000000625% of the population that would even be attracted to me based on personality. Ouch. But, luckily, I didn't pay to find this out, and I have my stunning good looks to fall back on. Maybe someday someone will be attracted to me based on my rack. :)

Well, it was definitely something new, and now I can rest assured that the bar is as good a place to meet people as is the internet, more so if you count the possiblity of actual physical contact!

(eric) I like OK Cupid the best of all the free on-line matching places I've tried. Not like people are falling all over themselves to meet me, but wtf.

The tests (write your own!) can be a super source of brainless fun. And, really, when we get right down to it, isn't it all about procrastination?

Plus, hey, free.
