eHarmony

So the other day when I was busy driving 80+ miles so my brother could spend a precious few hours with his new girlfriend, I realized how utterly boring my social life is, at least with respect to members of the opposite sex. Granted, I haven't really been "on the prowl" this summer. In any event, I embarked upon a self-pity party and texted my friends that I was considering creating an eHarmony profile. One of my friends responds and through the course of the conversation, she begins to create her own fake profile on eHarmony. I have always been interested to know what these "300 questions of compatibility" are and since my friend was making a fake one, I decide to too. Thus, I now have my own profile on eHarmony. I created it under a pseudonym, obviously, but honestly, it probably isn't that hard to figure out who I am should anyone try and find me.

This eHarmony profile however, has certainly been a worthwhile pursuit. I may not actually follow up on contacting any of my 12 potential matches, but I do enjoy guessing what these people may be like based off their profiles.

For example...

There is the gentleman who when asked what he cannot live without listed "laptop/blackberry, zagat restaurant guide, 24 hour gym" among other things.

The gentleman who listed Nickelback as one of his favorite music artists.

The gentleman who spends his leisure time playing cricket.
