Some girlfriends and I were discussing the recent phenomenon of on-line dating services. One of my friends meets guys exclusivity through Match.com and had her profile professionally created. Being twenty years old, I never dreamed of resorting to "help" in the dating department. The mere thought of it makes me feel like I am stuck in an never ending episode of Sex in the City with no hope of ever escaping. Not that it would be so bad, I mean between the fabulous careers, access to fashion, the NYC lifestyle, and more sex than an entire years subscription of Cosmo, I probably wouldn't complain often.
While many girls go to college in search of marriage I never really expected to find my one and only in a classroom and as my time at the University dwindles it looks like my odds are decreasing. I guess I always expected that I'd pencil love into my life eventually but since I haven't had much time to make it a priority I haven't really seen any results. I'm fine with that. Besides the only men who ask me on dates are 30 year old home owners who are really obsessed with themselves and use copious amounts of alcohol and partying to cope with their inadequacies. And gee golly, that just isn't the kind of life I'm looking for. Sure, the country club membership is nice along with the American Express card but I can only tolerate baggage as big as a pre-historic wooly mammoth for so long.
So I (briefly) entertained the idea of logging myself onto match.com to find a list of my electronically compatible potential mates. I got to wondering what exactly my profile would read. Here's what I've got.
Female, 20, soon to be college graduate, enjoys reading and running (not usually at the same time), prefers shopping to alcohol consumption, employed and has minimal debt, has access to all major league sports tickets (and actually knows the difference between football and basketball), not usually clingy or annoying, loves dogs, tolerates cats, likes the outdoors, willing to try new things, never clinically diagnosed with a mental disorder, ambitious but not a work-a-holic.
I don't know, I think that pretty much covers it. Maybe including a naked picture would help my cause, who knows.

On Freud: pretty much what Freudian I subscribe to is how our all influential sexual, mammalistic center influences us. At least, that theory works in describing my life: I have had experiences that I know have affected my atman. I also like his explaination of the need for maternity/faternity and its relationship to action. I dont know too much else. But that seems fitting enough.
I was watching MTV (I know, bad decision)
Indeed it is.
I take the way that requires the least effort and the one that optimizes my comfort.
You dont have to go to law school! What are you majoring in as an undergrad, pre law?

Id be satisfied with just a fully clothed shot from head to toe, personally. On your blog, even. ;)
I've never had any success with Yahoo Personals. All the girls down here just like partying, having a good time, and four wheelin (seriously). Good luck.
