Seriously!

Giving Credit...
... where credit is due:
Anyway, do you really care what someone who would judge you on such a superficial criteria really thinks? If you do, I don't think you're the one for me!
It doesn't matter how much you look like McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy. If your boss regularly accuses you of being too dreamy, and your day job is serving Big Macs, your date is likely to subject you to careful scrutiny on a whole laundry list of stringent criteria.Oh, really? I'd rather you fly your flag proudly, whatever your interest -- I'm eventually going to find out about your interests anyway.
And one of those may be the credit card with which you pay the bill (assuming she lets you) at the end of the evening of your first date. It's not that you necessarily have to pick the most prestigious piece of plastic from your wallet, but it might be a good idea to match the card you use to the interests your date displayed during your time together. If you didn't bother to elicit her interests, it's unlikely to matter how (or how much) you pay.
Anyway, do you really care what someone who would judge you on such a superficial criteria really thinks? If you do, I don't think you're the one for me!

Testing, 1, 2, 3
When in doubt, post Blogthings!
You Are Hedonism |
You believe in enjoying all of world's small and large pleasures. Life's too short to feel guilty. If it feels good, you do it. And you try to avoid pain at all costs, because pain is a major bummer. And while you enjoy the baser pleasures, like food and drinking - there's more to you than that. You find joy and delight wherever possible. You truly live well, and you're proud of that fact. |
You Are Mittens |
You seek comfort in your life. You want to feel as warm and cozy as possible. You are naturally nurturing and caring. And you always make sure to take care of yourself! Winter is your time to hibernate. You love to curl up on a cold night, even if everyone else is going out. And when you do venture out of the house, you bundle up. You want to feel as warm as possible. |
Your Life's Path is Gold |
You seek companionship and good times. You love being around your friends and family members more than anything else in the world. You believe other people are the key to living a happy life. In return, you provide them with good company and true friendship. You are charming and outgoing. You have big personality that others don't easily forget. You love luxury and high quality goods. Luckily, you are quite successful and good at making money. |
Your Heart is Logical |
You are wise and discerning. You focus on what really matters in life. You can't fall in love with just anyone at any time. Everything needs to align for you. You are a crusader. You will go to the ends of the earth to fight for what's right. You have a deep love for the world and humankind. Romantic love is a bit more complicated with you. |

The Start of Something Big
After just a few days on Match.com and Chemistry.com, I've discovered what could be a lucrative next career -- as a photographer for guys wanting to make good matches. Sheesh. Half the match hits I get have no photos whatsoever, and three quarters of the other half have godawful out-of-focus pictures snapped with camera phones, pictures of their dogs, kids, families, buddies, cars, boats, favorite vacation hot spots, etc.
Guys, seriously -- post at least one good photo that shows off your face. Take the time to put a decent shirt on and spend a bit of time on your grooming. Comb your hair. Trim your beard/mustache.
Women care about this stuff. (And, for what it's worth, I bounce every single match that doesn't have a photo without ever bothering to read the profile. I assure you I'm not alone in that.)
