Rejection stings…
Those eHarmony.com ads sucked me in. I decided to take their $40 personality test for free (Y’know, just for kicks…it’s not like I … um… can’t get a date or anything). I took about 30 minutes total over three days filling out their questionnaire. Online personals sure take awhile to fill out, don’t they? (Or, so I’ve heard.)
After forking-over 30 minutes of my life, I get the following notice:
eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive testing of married individuals. One of the requirements for it to work successfully is for participants to fall into our rigorously defined profiles. If we aren’t able to match a user well using these profiles, the most considerate approach is to inform them early in the process. … Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you.
Apparently I’m in the 20% of freaks that eHarmony says they can’t find a match for.
I guess I’m just too cool/witty/attractive/awesome/amazing for such a lame-ass site. At least that’s the lie I’m going to console myself with.
