a few weeks ago, on a lark, i signed up for a free eharmony.com profile posting, ya know... "just to see." initially i limited my search field to local folk only as i figured what would be the point otherwise. during the first go round of searching i was shown i had one match. so i took a look at her profile and though she had a child she seemed like an interesting personality to at least get to know. also, seeing as she had a child the limited hormonal influence that i do have coursing through my body cited that if not she herself were a slut, then she probably has slutty friends. giggidy-giggidy.
thusly motivated, i sent her a standard issue "charming, introductory e:mail from mike wong™", of course excluding any mention of sluts or sluttiness. anywho... weeks pass with no response, so earlier this past weekend i was killing time and thought i'd scope out the status in eharmony.com land. not only did i find that there were no new matches, but also the previous lone match had closed communication.
after a moment of regret and consideration as to whether or not i should have just gone for broke in the introductory e:mail and called her a slut, my train of thought shifted to widening the search field to: THE ENTIRE CONTINENTAL U.S.!!!1
and to my surprise within 24 hours the marvleous fiend of a match-making software engine found my one true love located in california...
... much to my surprise she's a 5 feet tall, hearing impaired, latin girl with horrible grammar.
sweet.

Isnt' eHarmony the one where they match you with a scientifically formulated personality test? My parents nag me about it whenever they see that damn commercial, so I don't watch TV anymore. Though now I have a good reason not to use it. Posted by Alex at September 21, 2004 11:21 PM |

You actually paid for a full account? Damn, you must have buckets of cash lying around if you can afford to get laughs from such an expensive website... Posted by Annie at September 22, 2004 03:42 AM |
