moar fish, metaharmony, and other internet dating sites

this is ancient history now, but over over the summer i occasionally shared rides back to barrie with a 28 year old woman named Meaghan. she had started dating a guy through an internet dating site and i was very curious about the whole process. you browse photos and a one sentence blurb or something along those lines and then the site allows you further access to information that person has provided. there's intermediary steps like asking 10 questions and so forth until, eventually, you can start chatting.

what a fascinating way to skip the whole process of conversation. i'm not sure if that's a positive thing, but it seems like finding out someone is a radical christian right off the bat instead of after four dates is a great way to save time. religion is probably too obvious a point; anytime you can find out crucial information about someone that might turn you off immediately, without having to spend a lot of time with that person to get to that information, i say you do it.

that leads into another line of thought..

what would those profiles look like for college students. this isn't me, but here's what i envision.

male, 22, 6'2, brown hair (accompanied by photo). ((ok, i lied, physically that's me, but the rest will deviate))

hobbies: beer pong, the gym, call of duty, kraft dinner making, chirping, wheeling, drinking excessively.

reading that, i can't help but pity girls. i'm not saying the opposite profile would be any better, but that just sounds like the most uninteresting guy of all time. strangely, those guys have girlfriends.. i guess standards aren't what they used to be. or, society isn't what it used to be.

in summation, get a life people, or your "resume" will look like shit.
