mismatch

So my sister Candace sometimes messes around on those online dating sites. She's not looking for love, just for some interesting people to hang out with, maybe make some friends to go out with occasionally. This week, while she was here, we did some fun jacking around on eharmony. We laughed at some of the people that they matched with her, answered some questions that some of the decent ones sent. I was curious about it in general, wondering who they'd match with me, so I filled out a profile for myself under a fake name. You can do it for free, you just can't see anyone's pics or actually contact anyone, and since I don't care, I don't have to pay to see any of that.

I actually got some pretty decent matches, profile-wise. They could all be trolls, since I couldn't see the pics, but their profiles were pretty interesting. A construction engineer (28), a music professor from SLU (who, coincidentally, I found online, and while his looks aren't appealing, he's not a total troll). A biologist (30), a surgeon (34), some other sundry individuals. Two of them requested communication and multiple asked that I post photos. Hehehehe.

Candace thought I was getting pretty good matches, so she got me to fill out a profile under her real name with my attributes, and she actually found some decent potentials. The main thing was that most of mine were "local" (I said I was from Prairieville, and mine were all Baton Rouge, Hammond, surrounding areas), while Candace was getting a bunch in like Texas and north Louisiana.

Then, for fun, we also filled a profile out for Tony. We used all his real info except his name, and we said he was an attorney rather than a teacher. He got some awesome matches as well (in the Prairieville area). Nurses, several doctoral students. So we've both been having fake profiles on there for a few days, but with our real attributes… And apparently, we do not match, since eharmony has not matched us up yet. Weird. Anyway, it's hilarious to see what some people put.
