Crazy People

Since the whole MySpace thing has fallen by the way-side and everyone has jumped on the FaceBook bandwagon, I've really missed blogging! I actually set this account up a few weeks ago, but have been waiting to come up with the perfect name for the blog and the perfect first topic. I finally decided on "Runaway Girl" because half of the time, that's exactly what I want to do. Maybe the more appropriate name should have been "Wanna Be Runaway" because who knows if I'll ever do that again... But, that's a blog for another day!



This evening, I stumbled right up on the perfect topic by accident. Tonight, I decided to check out Match.com (GASP!!). Wait, wait, wait... I need to throw this out there: This is not a free-for-all to fix me up with someone. Got it? Okay, so anyway - I decided to peek at Match.com just to see what was out there. My reaction to what I found? Oh dear Lord - I'm going to be single forever! Really guys, there should be some ground rules for what you post on personal dating sites. Here are a just a few that I've compiled, along with supporting arguments, to help you in your quest for love:



1 - It is NOT okay to post pictures of you with any other woman on a dating site. If she's your sister, it's creepy that you're posed that way. If she's your ex, you've just let us all know where you're setting the bar (subsequently, we've decided that we are either too good for you, or you're out of our league - or you think you are anyway...). If she's your friend, we already don't like her and can tell she's digging on you.



2 - It is NOT okay to list "online gaming" as your favorite hobby and then believe that you are going to be matched with a supermodel. Really? Does this need any other explination?



3 - It is NOT okay to look completely wasted in every picture you post. You look like an alcoholic. If you're not drunk, then you're just really not photogenic. Have someone help you with those pictures.



4 - If you're gay, just come out of the closet already. Don't waste our time claiming you're seeking women.



Something else I learned is that most guys that are my age that are on there look old! YIKES! I fully admit that I am in denial about being nearly 32, but I try very hard to avoid looking it. Like I said, denial. That too is a blog for another day...



Anyway, for now I will continue my one-woman mission to prove that as the fairer sex, we do not need a man to make us happy!
