I Didn't Think I Was *That* Different

Queen Christina: Who on God's earth could possibly be a match for me?

I had some free time this morning, so I decided to finally give in to all the banner ads and create a profile on eHarmony.com. (I'm deciding to open myself up to passion again, after all.) I completed their very long personality profile, and selected "The World" as the region in which to search.

The result?

Not. One. Match.

None.

Zilch.

Nada.

In the whole world.

That was my experience, too. Over the course of six to eight months, I may have gotten six matches. None of them continued the process with me after one or two levels. When I asked customer service what was up with that, they said, "The more unique you are, the longer it may take for you to get a match...but don't give up! Your match is out there!" Bullshit. I decided my money was better spent elsewhere.

I'm probably not going to send them any money -- not unless they come up with someone truly stunning.

I have enough financial pressures without trying to buy a match -- especially since I'm not actually looking that hard.

BTW: I accidentally posted this entry multiple times. I'm going to try to delete the one without comments, but if I get this one by accident, don't take it personally!
