So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Don't Play with Matches
Sunday. 10.5.14 7:16 pm
I joined Match.com. It's been interesting.

I realized that I'm not attracted to anyone who seriously puts what they are like and who they are looking for in an ad on the internet. Which I guess kind of defeats the point of online dating. The only guy who piqued my interest was a guy who used his "About Me" section to tell a long, rambling story about a cat that used to come to his house but doesn't anymore.

Oh well. So far I've had one exchange with a guy... he said he didn't realize that "inky" was a word...... another guy wrote to tell me that he didn't believe that "volcanology" was a word until he looked it up... are you guys trying to impress me with your ignorance of words? Is that what gets the ladies these days?

From looking through pictures of these guys, you get the impression that most of them fall into the category of "the friend"... you know... there's a cool, attractive guy, and he has some cool, attractive friends... and then he also has some friends who are just always there hanging out but they never themselves do anything which is cool and/or attractive? So they never get any ladies because they never stick out for any reason? Poor guys. I guess I never thought that much about them until now.

The other type of guy who really gets me is the type that says, "NO DRAMA" or "NO GAMES" in his description. He gets crossed off the list immediately. Ok, almost anyone who writes anything in all caps and/or posts exclusively mirror selfies gets crossed off the list. Oh well, my friend Rhodes and I are going Match.com bowling later in October... at least if it's a total failure we will have each other.

This is funny because I just joined Tinder (it totally counts as a dating app) and have noticed the exact same thing. Dating apps are where the average go to find their destinies. The only person I really found of interest on there was someone I already knew and just didn't know swung that way--and, even then, I was like, "Why on Earth are you on this app?"

I've never tried Match, but OKC has been amusing me for several years now. I guess it's easier since I've never taken it particularly seriously. A surprising number of people say almost the exact same things on their profiles... But I guess that makes it a pleasant surprise when someone says something different.

"i can tell by the vernacular in your profile that you're the one for me... also i used a thesaurus for vernacular, i figured you'd like that. i already had my dictionary out anyway."

My take on Match.com
I use to be on match.com and people would message me or wink but because I did not subscribe I could not respond or reply. I could only wink back. I did connect with someone on there that was a match at 80% but he and I were on different pages where a "relationship" was concerned. He was also dating "many" people on match and "sampling" all the goods. Bottomline... I deleted my profile and I'm just going to wait until some eligible bachelor shows up in any of my real life circles. If you DO make a connection though I would be very interested in reading about it!!!!!
