Stupid Temptation!
« on: November 19, 2003, 02:30:24 AM »
After one of my lj friends took the eHarmony survey and posted it, I thought I'd take it too. I keep hearing commercials and I always love to take personality tests. And it's free...

And accurate.

And when you do it they create a free account for you so you can see the people it matches you up with in your area. I had four matches on day one. They all seemed pretty interesting and one of them has already sent me a "I want to communicate" notice. And you can't 'communicate' without a paid account.

Tricky good marketing ploy! See, all I wanted was a personality profile now I want to see who these matches are and if they're actually a good fit. But then I have to pay. Tricky indeed.

And it's not cheap. If it was, I'd do it. But it's a pretty hefty amount. So tempted...

See, I used to date a lot, but in the past year I've barely had time to breathe, let alone seek out dates.  This would be a useful tool, it seems.  But still sooo expensive....

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Hey - whatever works.  I've never done it myself, but I've had friends who've gotten results (read: realtionships they were happy with) from internet dating.  I doesn't work all the time, but you can say the same thing about any other kind of dating.

Everyone knows that all you have to do to meet someone is arrange your life so that a relationship is the most inconvenient, unhelpful thing that can happen to you.

Worked for me.

Okay, I was curious, so I took eharmony's personality-matching-test-thing. They turned me away saying I was incompatible with anyone. My personality revealed that I was just too kind and caring that no woman deserves me. Nice guys always finish last.

Maybe, I have to go create a massacre and then chicks will like me.
