Un-matchable.com?

August 10, 2011

I went on the advice of a friend because after one bad relationship after another, I have succumbed to the daunting television advertisements of MATCH.COM. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of friends who have found success on Match, but that usually involves the girl being extremely pretty with model like looks and/or the guy who owns a small island. 

So, I've never actually physically met anyone from Match.com, I've conversed with them via IM or email... whatever. Then I block them because they either said something creepy or I'm just not really into all of this. 

But what I have observed during my 3 month subscription, is that this "online dating thing" is bull shit. Basically 90% of all males on match, can cut and paste this exact list. If you're not into this typical male, then save yourself the trouble and subscription cost, because here he is in a nutshell:

The typical match.com male is:

- Laid Back
- Loves the outdoors
- Loves Sushi
- Is open minded and wants the same
- Loves their friends and family
- Has a sense of humor
- Likes to travel
- Doesn't like drama
- 75% of images involves a mountain scene in the background or has athletic apparel on (think mountain bike and/or trail running)
- Says he's open minded but yet is looking for someone with an "about average", "athletic and toned" or "slender" build
