E-Harmony Not
A new friend of mine, a woman I admire and hope to be like when I’m her age, encouraged me to give E-harmony another try. Most anyone who watches tv is probably familiar with E-harmony because of the ads running regularly on tv. It’s very expensive in comparison to other internet dating sites and it touts itself as being more successful because one takes a personality “test” and one is matched accordingly.
(I’ve been watching HBO’s new series Big Love recently and have to say that the founder of E-Harmony reminds me of someone who would feel very comfortable in LDS dominated Utah).
So I got back on e-harmony and put myself back in the system so I could be “matched.” I should add that when I tried the service a couple of years ago (you know that your singleness is definitely an issue when your mother calls up you up an encourages you to try an internet dating site she heard about on tv) I was matched with a bunch of guys who worked for the defense department (read: Pentagon) and were all about supporting the American way of freedom and liberty (for anyone white and American-born).
At the time I thought, oh well, that’s fifty dollars down the drain-but certainly good for a few laughs when I’m feeling amused about the concept of spending money on matches with conservative military men.
So, that brings me to this past weekend when I let E-harmony match me again. And this is what I got:
One man whose hero is: Donald Rumsfield
One man who: wants a woman who keeps her body in good running condition (that’s either like a car or a euphemism for ‘those with cellulite need not apply’)
One man who revealed something only his closest friends know which is: how hard it was for him to buy his condo.
Potential for harmony?
Not.
