Match.com

So I happened to be searching through match.com today when I came across this description on a person's profile:

"I am 22 years old and just moved out LA. I enjoy kicking back and watching a good show or movie. However, I also enjoy going out and having a few drinks and a fun time with friends at night. I am looking for someone to go out with and connect with. I love to laugh, so a sense of humor is a must!"

So basically you enjoy doing things (kicking back, watching TV or a movie, having drinks with friends) that everyone enjoys doing. Wow, how shocking. Next, this young woman mentions that she is looking for someone to "connect with." No shit? You signed up for somewhere between $14.99 and $38.98 per month, depending on how long you signed up for and if you want the extra "MindFindBind with Dr. Phil" option, and went to the trouble of putting up eight pictures of yourself taken from the best possible angle to show only your good features (oh and it's interesting how the girls who put body type as "curvy" never seem to put up full body shots) on a huge internet dating site and you feel the need to reiterate that you are attempting to meet someone? Finally, our hopeful dater mentions that she loves to laugh. Really, I think you might be the only person on Earth who feels that way. This part is so original it really sets her apart and shows what a dynamic, interesting, different type personality she has. Are you kidding me?

Even if I were paying for this website, and she had some gorgeous pics up, I would still not email her. What does she expect? Would she honestly email some guy if they had a description up like that? Hmm, well maybe would if the guy had a nice six pack in one of his pics.

Damn. I wish I had a six pack.
