One week and some change into the internet dating scene, and I'm a little overwhelmed.
I've also joined an additional network, thx to plumpdumpling's behest: OkCupid. dot com.
Since OkCupid is free and has a bit of an edgier user interface, I made my profile a little less serious and a little more snarky. Plus, I was (still) worn out from the exhaustive introspection I'd had to do in order to whip up my match.com profile.
Either way... there are so many people out there. Sometimes I kind of feel like I'm trying to out-wit fate by doing my own self-matchmaking. Cheating. Give me the old fashioned days when a gentleman caller would come a-courtin' in the family parlour.
Mind you, quantity does not mean quality. I'm sure there are good guys in the mix (perhaps the male equivalent of myself lurks within), but they are hard to weed out among all the average, ho-hum kind of gentlemen in the field. All the dudes start to look the same after a while. Yeah, yeah, we get it. You're looking for a nice, friendly, athletic girl with a sense of humor who is just as happy sitting on the couch with you watching Family Guy as she is getting dressed up and going out on the town with you. No drama, no games. You're looking for something real. Blah, blah, blah. YOU AND EVERY OTHER DUDE ON THE INTERNET, JUNIOR.
Good thing I've got that whole "Christian, and yes I actually mean it" thing going for me. It's a good qualifying factor for interested parties. Best damn birth control I ever had. That and my sparkling personality.

Excellent Venn, my pet, but I don't think I knew about the moral values thing. ARE YOU VOTING FOR MCCAIN?!
God helps those who help themselves. Forcing fate? Nah.
Have you looked into Chemistry.com? They were a sponsor of my blog for two days until I whittled down my ads. Don't know anything about them, though.
Good luck.
