Rejected by E-harmony

Not by any individual guy, but the whole organization! I'm apparently in the top 20% of people they can't find matches for!

Despite a total distaste for Internet dating, I fiilled out the extraordinarily long questionnaire out of curiousity and I guess the universe rewarded me with an appropriate rejection. The little experience I've had dating on the Internet (over three years ago) was tedious at best, and just plain wrong at worst. In general, dating has been fun because there's an actual reason why I'm out with a particular guy. Even if we don't end up interested in pursuing a relationship, I usually have fun. Internet dating is not fun. It's like kissing that distant relative when you're ten: it's forced, unnatural, and sometimes creepy. I'm very wary of any relationship that grows out of absolutely no social context (I, clearly, don't consider an Internet dating site to be a social context). It's one thing to spew my innermost thoughts to total strangers (though, I have gathered that most of my audience consists of my family and friends - Hi, Mom! - but let's just pretend I have a wider readership for the sake of this rant...), but another thing to go out and date them!

So, the fascist Christians told me that I'm in the top 20% of people that they can't find matches for. Why? Presumably, we (this 20%) are deemed social outcasts due to our wavering emotional health that has yet to find the uplifting hope of Christianity. They don't exactly say that, but it's what I gathered from my research. I wonder if the fact that I identified myself as a Latina who is open to dating black men had anything to do with it (it is like 90% caucasian).

Just for today, I can meet my dating prospects in the real world.

Stella,
You really should check out Match.com. Lots of good looking guys around the Venice/San Monica area.
