I've Done Something Rash

This song has been in my head all day: Another Saturday Night.

I think this photo was also used for an ED
medication ad in 1993

I have joined eHarmony.  That shit is expensive!  So i signed up for 3 months and I'm going to find my future husband, as all the commercials promise!  No, but really, how can I have a serious, objective online-dating blog without joining one of the biggest (or at least most advertised) secular dating sights out there?

I have a confession as to why I am so anti-eHarmony.  When I was in law school my pal and I signed me up for eHarmony after seeing an absurd advertisement for a personality quiz - the site administers an incredibly long and detailed questionnaire on your personality, propensities and desires in a match.  We drunkenly went through this for at least half an hour - my friend chiming in when she thought I was perhaps being a teensy bit  untrue to myself.  A bottle of wine and a bit of self-discovery later, eHarmony REJECTED ME.  I was told that I was basically too sardonic and mean to be on happy-go-lucky match-maker eHarmony.  Essentially eHarmony was meant for happy, content sheep who wanted to get married (to a member of the opposite sex) immediately.  If you suffered from depression or a sense of humor, you did not qualify.  Do you recall that Chemistry.com (or some other site) based an entire TV ad campaign on people being rejected from eHarmony?  Yah, I could have totally starred in one of those commercials.  If I were far more attractive.  And an actor.  And if the actual people from those ads were actually rejected from eHarmony in real life.

Anyway, this will be it for awhile.  I will keep my mind open about other sites, but if I join ChristianMingle I'm definitely joining JDate at the same time.

I WILL DATE FOR YOU INTERNET!  EVEN IF IT COSTS ME HUNDREDS (well, up to maybe, $200) OF DOLLARS !
