I have now clicked 18,922 consecutive NOs on my Mutual Match candidates. I assume this is probably some sort of record; although, just in case, I will continue to click NO until I reach 100 billion or so. Which shouldn't be difficult, by the looks of it.

The profile snippets accompanying the MMs are almost always disconcerting to me. I have been laboring under the misconception that the whole purpose of a profile is to tell you something about the person behind it. Apparently, I have been misconceived. Because "I don't know what to write here" really doesn't tell me anything about the person, except that they're either very lazy or very stupid or terminally indecisive, none of which are exactly what I would call relationship incentives.

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" tells me that I'm really not all that interested in finding out. If you have something to say, say it; I have no desire to waste a lot of time trying to pull it out of you.

Pictures are another troublesome area. My favorite is the pic with 2 or more people, and they never tell you which one the profile belongs to. So now I'm supposed to guess. Given my history with guessing things like lottery numbers and World Series winners, I don't think this is a good idea.

The "cleavage shot" is another sure-fire winner. If she thinks that's the only way she can get my attention, she's already out of the running. Lots of people have boobs, and I'm sure a lot of theirs are better than hers (an arbitrary distinction, but what the hell). If she can show me she has something upstairs, we'll deal with the lower floors later.

Other non-starter pics are Woman Holding Baby, Woman Holding Alcoholic Beverage, Woman Kissing Ex, Woman Wearing Clothing 12 Sizes Too Small, Woman Giving Finger To Camera (how original and rebellious!), Woman Posing In Tragically Inappropriate Swimsuit, Woman Passed Out On The Floor, and Woman Grabbing Her Own Boobs. It almost sounds like last week's "America's Funniest Videos" or something.

Dating Site Trivia: Did you realize that there are over 600 billion people in the world who are "laid back and easy-going"? Makes you wonder how anything ever gets done around here....



And some people have the nerve to tell me I'm too "selective"....

We are all your MUTUAL MATCH you just in denial!

wow, how long did that take, lol?

(by the way, that entire post was one of the funniest - and refreshing - i've yet to read here)

Sounds like someone has loads of free time.

Hey, Lex!! I finally put this one on. It's my "don't mess with me" look. Did I pull it off okay?

It's nice to hear from a man about some of the women's profiles.

i've clicked no so many times that MM starts showing me pics of inanimate objects

I just click 'no' to be mean!

Come on now lex.... where is the positive attitude this morning!

I've clicked no so many times a banner now comes across and says "Listen you picky b*tch them's the breaks take 'em or leave 'em"

Week, maybe week and a half.



See? My desperate need for attention does have some positive ramifications....!

That's pretty good, but I think it would work better if you were holding a knife or a gun or something....

Lots of guys are into weaponry, ya know....

CRACK ME UP!!! I guess I haven't been THAT BAD, Lily!!! That's my mantra, though. "I may be getting older and uglier, but I've also gotten so much pickier!!!"

That's selective darling, SELECTIVE.... It just makes it sound prettier...

"The "cleavage shot" is another sure-fire winner. If she thinks that's the only way she can get my attention, she's already out of the running"


Lex don't mees it up for the rest of us! I like the cleavage shots!

MBD..... wouldn't expect anything more from ya!

((((Tanya))))

how have you been sweetheart?

Fine dear just waiting for Hanna to come visit. Plenty to do just no time to get it all done. I hope you're doing well

One of my favorite male profiles was a guy who was 59, average looking, and said "he only dates 18 to 25-year-old girls."

Does he have a grandfather complex or something? Ewwwwwwwww.

lex.... if i were to put up a pict of a llama that im holding for ransome.. and were to say in my profile snipit... "pay up or i will use the gun in the next shot on the llama!!"

would that help??
