Adventures in Online Dating
Last month, I signed up with eHarmony. The constant onslaught of happy couples in their commercials, billboards, and print ads finally got to me and I surrendered.
Their system is fairly unique in that they decide for you who is a compatible match. It's up to the matches to pursue communication with each other, leading up to an eventual meeting -- with the option of shutting the match down at any point.
I find it interesting that some women opt to not display their photos. I asked my friend Nina what motivation a woman would have for not showing pictures of herself and, like me, she decided it was probably not a good sign.
Women with eye patches, for example, are notoriously self-conscious about them and would prefer to reel me in and then reveal the eye patch after I've become emotionally attached.
Remember, these women are my psychological matches and already know me this well!
I know why you don't want to go out with me... it's because I only have one eye, isn't it?! MY GOD you are so shallow!
To combat this, I've configured eHarmony to not reveal my own photos to anyone who doesn't have their own posted. This way, I can shame the ladies into revealing themselves -- and them slap them with a rejection when they do. It's ingenious!
My first ever meet up is finally here and I'm off to a coffee meet tonight with a choreographer.
Note to self: when meeting a date, don't mention blogging.

Harold, sounds interesting, be sure to let us know how it goes.
Online dating...I hope it goes well for you. Maybe the girls are just camera shy though. I know I am...then again, I don't have a profile on a dating service.
Anyway, as for the sushi thing, I went veg years ago. I know some veg's eat fish, but those people are frauds.
