so i went on match.com a while ago and did their personality test. The damn thing comes back and tells me that 1% of the female population is right for me. 1%! Who the hell needs to hear odds like that? anyway, i think they were right. problem is, 80% of the time i'm wrapped up in some problem and not looking, so that leaves me 20% of my time to locate a girl falling within the 1% of the compatible population... statistically leading me to believe that i should lighten the hell up...and spend more time looking... i think? so if i smile at five girls a day for the next year... the people on the bus will label me retarded, and maybe i could fall in love with a psychiatric nurse... sounds like a plan. serioso - the odds dont look very good right now. I'm dangerously close to becoming cold hearted. I've forgotten how to love i think - or there just isnt anyone around who wants what i have to offer. childish crushes dont happen to me anymore - i should have gotten married while i was still young and stupid enough to be optimistic. Now what? I've spent so many years slogging thru life alone, not sharing, i'm just gonna blow away one day...dried up like a leaf. go give your gf's and bf's a hug for me hippies, and count yourselves lucky to have whatever you have. getting stupider by the day - Wideyed.
Well.. I wouldn't bet anything on the results of something like that. Just because some dumb test tells you one thing, it doesn't mean that you won't ever meet someone outside of your "compatible group". That's just a general jumping off point. Go out and do something that you're interested in and find someone that way... it's 10 times better than some dating site.
i've actually given up on internet dating already - just not my cuppa tea. Dont pity me too much silver clover, sometimes i just like to bitch, and worry.
internet dating amuses me. I actually like looking at the sites, to get a better idea of the prospects in my lonely little city. But I'm too lazy to make a profile, or actually try to date anyone
go figure that they'd say something like that...they want you to fork over your cash, so they make up something lame like that if you want to attract love into your life, just be all of the qualities that you want to find in a mate and live your best life. you'll find each other.
"be all of the qualities that you want to find in a mate and live your best life." not a bad bit of advice, nimh. makes me think "what exactly do i want, anyway?" and what is my best life? - actually i know that path - but what i want in a mate? another story. I usually dont know it till i see it. in the past at least. Now... i feel like the game has changed somehow. or i have.
ihmurria, ive been on two internet dates. The first was good, but she lived two hours from me and i dont have a car anymore. she had a two year old girl and wherever we went people would call her my daughter... the second was ok, but she wasnt interested i guess, because she didnt return my calls afterward. That was lame, but we wouldnt have got on anyway now that i think about it. Now, public transit is my dating service. and the ski hill, and hitchhiking, and the laundromat, and the grocery store...
