Well, I joined match.com, had a lot of interest from my profile. I wrote it as if I had just had a cup of coffe and a cute guy called and asked me to describe myself. It was a little funny and ended with a question. I refused to say I liked "fine dining" and "long walks on the beach" and "I'm a romantic at heart" Those things are SNORES!

I didn't however, meet anyone promising. One whom i thought was promising, turned out to be 20 years older and 50 pounds heavier than his picture (why do people DO that?) Lots of tatooed guys with pics of them standing next to a vehicle-car, boat or plane. I did have to go back in there and be more specific about who I was looking for. But nothing came of any of it.

I'm taking a break for now. I check in just to browse profiles every now and then...I feel like I'm shopping...someone may look promising, but there is always something that pops up in their profile that turns me off. Like if they're 47 and only want women up to age 35, or they only want someone with skinny ankles (not kidding!), or someone to ride their Harley with.....

Um...no thank you....

Thanks, Pixanne.

I've never been much of a salesperson and the "chatting over coffee" idea sounds better. They say ("they" being other single women I know) that Match is best because it's a numbers game and there are more people there than anywhere. eHarmony sounds as if it's more "selective" but I've always wondered if it's for the religious.

And then there's the whole photo nightmare......
