eeeeeHarmony

I've just spent the better part of an hour creating my profile on the dating website eHarmony.com. I chose eHarmony because the people on the commercials all look so happy and in love, and they are not actors, they are Real Couples ... it says so in the corner of the screen.

The majority of my time was spent answering hundreds of questions about the type of partner I'm looking for, my personality traits, my lifestyle and all kinds of other crap. But I was rewarded at the end with six, count 'em, six men who might be good matches for me! Yay!!!!!!! I excitedly scrolled through my list of potentials, but I was only allowed to see their written profile. (To see photos I'll have to cough up anywhere from $150 for three months to close to $300 for the entire year). My excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I learned that three of the men were over 50, four had kids, two lived in other states, and one was a perv (not that pervs are bad, but geeeez, save it until we know each other a little better!).

I opted to not pay the membership fee and went shoe shopping instead ...
