Topic: France Is Too Far Away

Well, somehow I apparently have become a member of a dating site I never heard of and know nothing about.

Every day, they send me pictures of three girls, and they add "They seem to be perfect matches for you!" along with numbers like 97% and 92% and 95%. To me, "perfect" should be 100% but I'm no math expert and I'm not sure these scores are official, anyway.

The problem is, all of these girls are from France. I don't even speak French, aside from the names of some hockey players. (I can say "Mario Lemieux" as good as the next guy.) Aren't we still at war with France? I'm not really up on that stuff.

And I don't remember ever filling out anything that said "I am looking for a girl who is ridiculously far away and who I couldn't talk to, regardless." Admittedly, that's what I run into on pretty much every site, but I never ASKED for that.

Another site likes to send me e-mail saying 32 people looked at my profile and sent me messages I can't read unless I pay $74.99 a month for 37 months. They do include pictures of everyone who allegedly looked at my profile, though, and they're more or less evenly divided between obvious scammer/spammers and frighteningly scary locals who I would run and hide from if I ever saw them in real life.

One woman in particular, who is the size and shape of Alaska, has been relentlessly sending me messages on that site for ages. There appears to be no way to block mail there, either. Not that it matters since I can't read them anyway, but it's just the idea of these incessant notifications. Don't people have anything better to do? I know I don't, but everyone else should.

quite "frankly" (if you'll excuse the pun)the french are very pleasant, and we have been allied with them in every war that both countries shared in the 20th century. The French made it possible for us to win the European Campaign against the Germans in WW2, and they freed hundreds of jews and gypsies from the nazis - hundreds- with a resistance that any guerilla army could learn from. In fact, true to style, their resistance outperformed their regular army, in my opinion.

also provided very valuable military intelligence via the resistance.

They have a lot of National pride and a beautiful language and have always been one of our strongest allies. (US)

OH, YES, THE GUYS ARE CUTE & THE WINE IS GOOD!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE, I ASK!!

the women are sanguine, fashionable & femininity highly valued Lex, if you aren't happy with a french girl, then ya, there may be no hope for youwinking

Well, the problem is, I've never met one. Wouldn't mind taking a shot, but I don't think there are a lot of French people in Indianastan. They're way too smart for that!

I have nothing against French people -- I love their fries and toast -- but the likelihood of me going to France anytime in the foreseeable future is about the same as the likelihood of Justin Bieber turning into a giant inflatable unicorn.

I writer should be able to go to France, no? Mosta them speak English anyhoo. Your recent success has afforded you the luxury of a plane ticket I imagine. Just dont like travel?


Just don't have the time to go off on a wild goose chase across the ocean, only to find the French version of "I'm laid back and easy going" instead of the English.

Ye of low expectations.


Well, I'm kind of at the point where the odds against me finding anyone even remotely compatible/interesting are SO slim that I don't think geography really plays into it at all....! I mean, there are 6.9 billion people in the world, and I've only met one who was even close....!

But since you only look on this continent, you limit yourself and reduce the odds, do you not? What if a French gem is waitin and not nearly as fickel as the North American version?


It's been my experience that French women are far more fickle and far more effort than American women!

Correct, 100% is perfect. Although it depends on their calculation of percentages, there is the possibility of +/-5 or something similiar...although those are usually statistics and not calculations.

See...now I'm interested in this site you bring up purely because of how they figure their percentages.
