Mutual Match has been a constant source of great profile (or lack of profile) material for some time now. "I'm a fun person who likes to have fun" came from a MM profile. So I don't want to be too negative or anything, but something just happened that I don't understand.

I just had a MM candidate from WAY out of my search area. Also outside my search parameters in other ways, too. Not someone I have ever seen in the forums, not someone who has ever contacted me, not someone who has even looked at my profile.

Since she's from well outside my settings, I know she had to have rated me a YES or a MAYBE, otherwise she would not have shown up in my MM candidates.

But why? She hasn't even looked at my profile. Do they just click YES to a whole bunch of random people, regardless of where they live, without even knowing the first thing about them? It's a little too scattershot for me.

The thing that puzzles me is that, had she simply read the first part of my profile (not even all 1498 pages!), she would have quickly discovered that there was no point in rating me at all.

Jeez, I could have saved about 11 seconds that way....!

Not to mention the bother of typing all this...

but think of the entertainment value that would be lost.



I'm more amused by the people who either don't understand how MM works or who see others mis-using it then cry foul claiming "Mutual Match is broken!"

Waaaaahhhh!

First i let my wheels spin, then i let my screen fold

Someone from Valencia is my mutual match???

I have given up on the MM stuff...

What I don't get is why all those supposed men that want to meet
me-

according to all the e-mails I get pertaining to MM

do not just write?

Yes people need to read profiles too.

Lex I think MM has a mind of its own and is matching people up randomly with or with out
the yes or no buttons being pushed!

We are all in trouble!

My favorites are the guys who post in "Help" or "Feedback," complaining that "This site doesn't work!" and they signed up two days ago and this is the only post they ever made. Like the JSH Genie is supposed to magically materialize a bunch of girls at his house 5 minutes after he signs up. Hey, I'm a moderator and I don't even get to use the Genie. Not yet, anyway....

There once was a Mod named Lex
Whose Mutual Matches seemed hexed
They came outta left field
With no secrets revealed
And without the ending he expects

scattershot= Was it me??

I have said maybe because of commonalities. Just for the slight chance of making a friend to talk with now and again.

I have mine set to 50 to 60. I get them from 18 to 90.

But, I have seen some that were a little older than what I said, and said maybe too. They met a friendship criteria for me.

I do not ever take these things seriously.

I figured out a fantastic way to resolve that issue, in a way that works well for me!

I go through my mutual matches monthly. If I see a person in there I've seen in the threads, whose posts I enjoy, I usually select them. I also add people who are looking only for friendship. Then I wait to see if there is ever any contact in that month... or longer.

At times I delete all of them, and at other times I keep them. I try to individualize as much as I can. The fact of the matter is I do read the profiles and select only those people I perceive as interesting in some way.

But I give it little if any thought, beyond that. It was the same when I first came here to date. I expect that others give my profile or selecting yes to me the same lack of thought.... as I get three times as many when my actual photo is up from when it's not at all me. Ahhhhhh. the number of people who read my profile and totally ignore or misinterpret the phrase "I am totally unavailable for anything other than friendship"... Should I say, "stepp off? I'm baord? Hey dude, pass me by, I'm skanky and a bytch?"

lilith401,


I hear you are now a member of the "Get Lex on Webcam" Team?? I have been trying for months now and he just won't do it!!

Yeah.. I am a member! Yipeee!! I bet he must be so sick of Hogan's Heros. I think it'd be an absolute kick to see him all giggling at our (hour/are) Which one is it, darnnit?) relative stupidity!
Should we start a thread??? Maybe we can get even more MM mess ups for our Lexy Lexicon, useless profile views, etc.! Start a stalkers club maybe... entrance is Arby coupons?

Sounds good!!! We can get tee shirts made, and mugs for our Pepsi.

Yeah, and the t-shirts can say, I'm not with stupid... I am stupid.....

I have been trying to find someone close enought to me that we could enjoy a night out or one at home. for some reason that means she should be from nigeria, australia, russia or the back side of the moon.

I heard there is a lunar eclipse tonight. How about from the dark side of the moon?

Good Lord, man, some of yours are from the same planet? What ever are you complaining about?

A real fan would have a t-shirt saying "I don't know what to write here."

Touche...


I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy... I'm just baord.

My tee shirt was going to say...."I traveled 897,000 miles and he still won't talk to me!!"

It's OK, we'll go watch a vedo about the two dog's who got lose in the back yard.
