It's pretty effective at weeding them out, yep!

It's true! My daughter did Match for a month, found the same men, same responses, same bare-chested photos and of course ALL of them want to "sweep you off your feet"... but really can't even put an entire grammatically correct sentence together when emailing a perspective date. It's quite sad and funny all at the same time.

From the ten minute chat I learned she is still dating guys she sees off match.com

I shot the question: "So, how's that going?"

"Geez, don't get me started. After two profiles they all sound similar. Hi, I'm here coz I work a lot, I'm x years old, I'm athletic, people think I'm intelligent, funny, down to earth blah blah blah blah"

I hadn't laughed so hard in ages, folks. Her word delivery was just priceless. I actually stepped back and let out one of the biggest of guffaws and she was giggling too.

Then she goes, "It's just annoying."

And starts again, "Oh my God, I gotta tell you about the guys who post pictures without a shirt and their biceps"

"Then the other set of guys who babble endlessly about their stock investments"

And then, she stops again, "It's annoying"

I had a first hand narration about the majority of male profiles on match, which sound lame, to be honest. And I couldn't resist sharing it here
She sounds annoying. But then again, she's Indian, so..

We all worked for Bank of America prior to the Lehman crash. The I took the exit chute into a crazy cross-country journey through the mid-west, then back to the carolinas and now New York all over again.

I haven't seen her in close to three years now. I'm gonna have to meet her and get more fun tales, she sure will have lots, from the guys she meets.
