Stuck .... here......
Eharmony. Ugh!!
Signed up for a free Profile thingy and saw all my matches a while ago.
Did not sign up to communicate because I am just not into it.
However.. recently I gave in and......I did.
Why?
.
.
.
.
Sale.
(Ha ! the laughter!)
Cheapness - what a motivation to get a jump on my social life!
I wonder if I get what I pay for?
Started communicating....
Stuck. Cant go on.
This is why:
(Communicating with 2 guys at the moment, lets call them R and D)
Under R's "Cant Stands":
Excessive Overweight...
I can't stand someone who is overweight.
Now, I am not over weight. But for some reason this bugs me. Like he is intollerant of how others look. I duno.
Under D's "Must Haves":
Passionate...
I must have someone who is willing to explore our sexual desires with passion and understanding.
So, call me a prude. But I'm thinking perv. I duno.
I keep going back and trying to say - Oh just keep an open mind. Least they being honest right?
But when ever I go back to answer the open-ended questions they have waiting for me.... these things keep ringing in my head.
Humph! 2 matches that I thought were the better choices of all the matches.... and I am at a roadblock already. Seems like I feel like I am forcing this to work. UGH! I dun wanta!
I think ...................Im gonna put this off ...... for yet another day.

When I first read these profiles over a month ago I thought: wow! amazing people! great matches. Now however, I am noticing an underlying theme amoung all match profiles:
They all want "someone to take care of me and also take care of yourself because I am not going to!" Interesting.

Hmmmmm...
I would say "R" is shallow, and "D" is definitely a perv. You could easily substitute "MY sexual desires" for "our sexual desires".
They make this e-harmony thing sound like it's so scientific and all about getting the right people to match for life. But I think too many people are using it like an alternative to bars and clubs. It's probably cheaper in the long run.
What you've noticed is demonstrative of just how selfish our culture is. And just how needy people have become. People have become so weak these days. They seem to lack any strength of character or conviction. It's all about "what's in it for me?".
I can see why you rant about being single. I can tell I'm really going to hate being single again.
LOL, welcome to the club .....I'm soo happy you joined no matter what the motivating factor was!!!
OMG, under must haves I put the same thing as D, and u know me ...so I wonder does that make me a perv too .....
LMFAOOO, on second thought don't answer that question, cause we both know the answer to that one
:P
I just leave my name as anonymous....lol....
M+ I am sorry I am makin singledom seem so bleak for you. I am sure there are more exciting singles
out there...mind you all my singledom venting are condensed into this blog so it seems worse than it is....? Hope that helps.

who are you? YOU perv!! :p Well mb if D is similar to you then its harmless though I am soo gona ask you what you where thinking when you picked that answer.
Don't worry about me. I know you're only venting. That's what makes your blog so interesting to me. You've got a great sense of humor about it all.
Any bleakness that I'm experiencing is based purely upon the fact that after nearly 18 years of marriage I have to consider dating again. 18 years of marriage does not adequately prepare someone for dating again at the tender age of 40. Go figure!
omg...stupid guys like that make it worse for guys lke me...pmpl...ima come ther and kick some ass...or are they among the enemy states ? Dont let 2 knuckleheads rui ur time on eharmony... mb i should try that site...YEAH right....as i sit here and write this im listening to the oldie song....omg... im old... " LOVE STINKS ". Anyways, im outta here. hang in there ur a great gal and u'll find the right one.
