I'm off the market but I still receive spam from Match.com on a semi-regular basis. Mostly, given the fact I'm not looking anymore, I just delete the emails. But one I received today refused to be deleted. It just screamed out at me to be read. The subject was "The secret to a perfect profile on Match.com" and the following blurb was in the body:
If I understand this correctly, what Match.com is advertising is that if you're too damn lazy to write your own profile or you're so completely boring that you couldn't possibly make yourself out to be attractive, we'll do the writing for you. Maybe I take things like this too seriously, but it seems to me this is rather short-sighted of Match.com, given that it would seem to appeal to the very clientele people (read: woman) are trying to avoid by using the internet dating service. And when it comes right down to it, is writing a personal profile that difficult? Sure it's hard to make yourself stand out from the crowd but what satisfaction do you get from having someone else write your personality for you? Not much unless you're intellectually dishonest and only looking to trick people into contacting you. And that doesn't sound any different from what men do in bars all the time. Color me unimpressed. |

This is a very cool site that gives you a map of either the states or the countries that you've visited. Since my countries map would be quite boring, I did the states and here's what I got:
43% is kind of sad but I hope to get to all 50 before it's all over. I ignored states that I either just set foot in their airports (Michigan and Georgia) and states that I visted when I was too little to remember (Idaho, Wyoming and Washington). |
