Wow, terrific. How rare! We connect! I also enjoy breathing oxygen, and living on planet Earth. I hope we have that in common too!!

Bonus sameness points for also liking travel and photography. You zany wacko!

2) Preponderance of brown doctors under 5'9". Incidentally, brown and black guys make up 8 out of the 9 matches that have 'closed' me as a match after reading my profile.

After doing a Women's Studies degree, I was forced to realize that lesbians are not into me, but this is new. Lesson learned! No brown meat for the V.

3) This morning, I got a match sent to me that was CLEARLY a friend of Russell's. The age, name and city, plus the fact that I know this guy online dates, meant I didn't even have to look at the profile. Then he requested to "fast track" me, which means you forego any of the questionnaire back-and-forths in favour of direct communication. (The only request of that nature I have received thus far, go figure.) My stomach pretty much sunk. It's one thing to do this. It's another to have people in the real world know about it.

Anyway, I was getting these notices on my cell at the cottage, but only now got home to log in to see the full profiles. And, it's not him. WTF, gut instincts - it's really not him.

In all, I have a sort of low-grade hate buzz for eHarmony so far. But this is why they make you pay 60 bucks.
