Ah, I am seeing someone else who needs to get over herself looming into view.

But glad to see you've been paying attention! I'll call that 3 a typo. ;)

Wanna read Fishface's blogs?

Apparently she made some kinda, uh, bigoted remarks here and there that people who posted objected to (like about gay marriage, and assorted other fundie kinda stuff), but I haven't managed to track down the originals yet. ;)

ROFL about the rending of garments...

I'm just looking at the site...I fear it may be beyond me, having registered I am told that my gender ( as per entry on second page) does not match the info I gave previously ...lol how can this happen ...?

Eharmony match you on your personality profiles primarily. Then you have to answer some questions and state how important they are so presumably they use those too. Then there's the profile which is shown to your matches so they can decide if they're interested or not....if they can get past the photos that is ;-)

Guys are right sometimes...I don't date short guys ;-)

btw according to the ads it's 2% of all American newly weds who met on eharmony.

Oh dear, I see that RR has not got over herself yet.

Now she's demanding big-busted men ...

JaneyCanuck Report 14 Jul 2010 20:54

Well, I see RR has got over herself.

I am the goddess, am I not?

Gwynne: you need to read the FAQs, don't you?

You may be very specific.

And yet there is no matching-criterion thingy by which the menz may weed out the fat chicks. This causes the menz no end of distress, and there is great gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in the land. Well, not as much rending of garments as they'd like, because they're forever finding themselves on dates with fat chicks.

You may specify your religion, race/ethnicity, height, location, smoking and drinking habits, and your preferences in all those regards. Kind of like every other &%$# matchmaking site on the internet. Except some of them let you specify body type and screen searches by that factor. Here, we do not. We prefer to sit back and enjoy the weeping and wailing.

Well, okay, occasionally we wade in. We point out that we too would like to see a body type criterion in the matching factors. Because then we could decline to answer it (or put 4'2" 300 lbs, as we are in fact wont to do), so that the gorgeous specimens of manhood who will accept matches and dates only with gals who are height-weight proportionate or however that goes, will never ever ever be matched with us. Because we find said specimens to be, ah, shallow and distasteful.

And then the hounds of you know where are loosed. *We* are launching attacks on these *normal* men for their *normal* preferences? How Dare We??

Well actually, we were saying that we wanted to be able to screen out men who don't meet our standards (edited the bit of garble I put there first), just as they want to be able to screen out women who don't meet their standards. This seems a simple point, but there is just no agreeing with them.

But tell me, gentle Gwynne, what degree of specificity are you seeking in our efforts to assist you in getting a date? We don't guarantee that we'll get you one, but we can undoubtedly tell you what you're doing wrong.

Please, get over yourself before replying.

But Janey,
Why cook when there are plenty of nice restaurants about.?

*draws up chair*

I've seen these ads and it's a bit bewildering, if the claims are true, that they manage to find people a perfect match.

How specific are you allowed to be as to your requirements?

not possible Foggy... though my son did say the 'Eve pudding' I made last night was very nice... and I do baked beans on toast ok for him lol

JaneyCanuck Report 14 Jul 2010 20:41

Well, you are doubtless setting your sights too high if you aim for him, then!

You fat chicks and your refusal to accept reality.

Get over yourself!!!!

lol I think it possible that in the cooking stakes at least Foggy and I are equals lol ;)

Rambling Report 14 Jul 2010 20:37

ah Janey, but Foggy is not short :)

JaneyCanuck Report 14 Jul 2010 20:37

Oh RR, I see your latest, and I urge you: accept Foggy's petition for your hand. You are obviously a hopeless case, otherwise.

If you cook, you can try making the argument that you're being an "equal". He takes you out for fancy drinks and a classy dinner and to an expensive show, and you cook him meatloaf.

If you're not prepared to cook (and dish up, by the way) the meatloaf, you haven't a leg to stand on, and will be left going Dutch with losers forever.

If you want to take your chances, don't say you weren't warned.

If one of them does happen to ask you to dress in very short shorts and a halter to ride on the back of his motorbike to the nude beach he has arranged for your second date to take place at, accede to the demand, uh, flirtily. But ladylikely. It is your last best hope.





I'll bet you think I'm making this up ...

Ah. We have been joined by a short geezer, I see.

This should meet my marriage quota for the evening!

Sign the release here, and we'll send the cameras over to film the wedding. Make it soon, please. I don't get my commission until the deal is sealed.
