One of the websites I'm on sent me a note to tell me they had calculated my "best" and "worst" states for finding a match.

**********

Your Worst States

South Dakota — 59.6
West Virginia — 60.2
Arkansas — 60.3
Oklahoma — 60.4
Alabama — 60.4

Your Best States

Massachusetts — 63.1
Oregon — 62.9
Washington — 62.9
Maryland — 62.9
Connecticut — 62.8

**********

Well, I don't know what the numbers mean (probably "how many lifetimes would you have to live through before you met someone compatible") but the differences between "Best" and "Worst" don't seem all that great to me.

Of course, none of the states, good nor bad, are anywhere near me, so it isn't particularly significant anyway.

To add insult to injury, they then provided me with a list of countries:

**********

Your Worst Countries

Ukraine — 53.1
Indonesia — 54.4
Philippines — 54.9
Jamaica — 56.1
Thailand — 56.4

Your Best Countries

United States — 65.9
Finland — 64.7
Portugal — 64.7
Israel — 64.6
Austria — 64.5

**********

which is absurd on the face of it, simply because I'm IN the United States and there is no one here who is even remotely compatible.

Which means maybe it's time to go to Ukraine.

Wonder what the weather's like in Melitopol this time of year....?

You are always welcome here in Mass , Lex

Thank you, Pats! Maybe I will work on my Boston accent!

Shshsh why did they leave Texas out now shss shows what they know ....... hehehe

i have found a planet...with a 92.2% of intelligent life!!

Hmm, I know my worst state to find a match is here in South Carolina. Blah!

If you go to a different country, let us know if you have better luck there in finding a match.

Yeah, I'm waiting for best and worst planets next....

daaahling

You could always shake your booty here on New York!!

I keep thinking "It would HAVE to be better than Illinois/Indiana" but I've been known to be wrong about these things....

What are those figures based on? Is it a people to llama ratio?

I think it's how many more years I would have to live to find someone worth bothering with....

perhaps you need a 'top 3' qualities or something like that, maybe 10.. there's gotta be some girl you enjoy!

There used to be, but they're extinct now. Or they've all been teleported to Mars or something....

I think they are right about Mass being one of the best places!

And I've always liked the Red Sox!

Well, Lex.. I speak both Spanish and German if you choose Portugal or Austria.. Although Portugese and Spanish differ a bit, you can get by. The German is Central "Platte", but should be understandable.
And my buddy Jouni was born and raised in Helsinki, so you can have help from him too..lol

If all else fails here try Finland, your number 2 country.

how ironic that wv is on that list. i wonder why...

I also see that the "Great Northwest" are listed as state #2 and #3 on the list -- could be saying "Go West, Lex, Go West" -- . We have the Pacific Ocean, beautiful beaches, mild weather, the Mariners and the Seahawks (okay, not much to brag about there), the Space Needle, now that is cool, Canada is right next door and, of course, we have GYPSY AND PURPLE CAT FOR NEIGHBORS!!!!!!

And orcas swim off our shores routinely for us to see them too!!!!

Now what more could you want. Ummmm, oh yeah, single girls, we have them too!!!!!!!
