Monday Match Update

So it's been about a month since I joined Match.com and I just thought it's about time to give everyone an update... 

I've actually met with one guy who turned out to be really fun and nice. That was a couple weeks ago and I think we'll go out again this week if things line up!

I've received 252 emails from men who want to "get to know me better". 99% of them are strangers but 2 of them were actually people I knew from high school/college but I guess they didn't know me! They sent me emails coming off as all sweet and charming but I know the real them. Sneaky snakes.

Some pretty interesting things have taken place... a 60 year old man emailed me and asked if he could take me to dinner. His profile picture was a photo of him and his daughter taken at her wedding. She's easily 10 years older than me. That email got deleted.

A weird dude emailed me and all the email said was, "Who would win between a grilled cheese sandwich and a taco?". I told Lacy about this thinking she'd laugh and be as confused as I was and she said, "Well... a taco.... you'd pick taco, right?" (This is reason 5,346,921 that I adore her.)

When I filled out my preferences, I said I was interested in men between the ages of 26 and 35. So explain to me why 47 year old men keep emailing me. And when I set up my account, they asked me to select from a group of pictures the man I was most attracted to. 

I chose this picture:

 (george clooney)

So why do I keep getting emails from guys who look like this?

I know I'm not a super model but c'mon Match. Get your shit together. Don't ask questions like that unless you can somehow filter the emails I get.

So... so far it's been a little bleak. But new people join every day. I just need to be a little more proactive about it I think. 

I'll let you know how things end up on the next Match Monday Update (not necessarily next Monday).

Wish me luck. I want to look at a guy like this* someday...

*Yes, I realize I just said in a round-about-way that I want to be like Miley Cyrus. Rest assured that this is not the case. I just want to be as in love as she is one day.

But so far I've been looking at the guys on Match like this...
