The problem with these men is….

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. “-Groucho Marx
The problem with this website is that we appear to all be a little embarrassed about this website. As I find myself looking at men on this site, I find my thoughts go something like this: “He’s too short, (and he’s on match.com), he’s obviously insane, smokes (and he’s on match.com), he’s not attractive to me, is certifiably insane, never used a comma in his life, lives in New Jersey, (and is on match.com).”
I can tell that this is going to be a problem. And if a man is okay with me being on match.com I am not sure that I okay with him. It is the age old problem of the man hitting on one in the bar is not the one you want to talk to, the one sitting with his friends who never talks to girls is the one worth getting. . .
The guy that I was most attracted to was one who was so freaked out by being on match that he canceled his membership right after I initiated contact with him. This made him so much more attractive in my eyes, but I am a hypocrite since I did not get off the website. And, he stopped responding to my emails. It was such a shame, his hair was so long, and his eyes so green, and so philosophical. . .
We the denizens of match.com should stop apologizing to one another. People meet on role playing vampire websites! And bars! And facebook groups! If we are in a position to meet one another, then we are not in a position to shun one another. I am going right now to remove the part of my profile where I apologize for being on match.com!
(This enthusiasm still does not extend to telling anyone that I am on match. Let’s not get carried away.)
