There's a movie coming out called “Must Love Dogs”. Actually it talks about finding a soul mate via internet. In the olden days when a person can't find a partner, their parents usually gets the task of matchmaking them. But in this modern world, we get to take that into our own hands. So I actually set out to experiment with this thing for fun of it. Introducing Match.com...
Match.com members are people from all over the world and in Malaysia itself there are plenty and plenty of people. I started out by sharing some nice personalities of mine – come on, who ever put their worst traits online. Everyday my mailbox is filled with at least more than 10 mails and none of them is from a girl. O ya, please note, match.com is not just for finding partners, it's also for finding friends – some sort of a modern pen-pal system.
I must say it's not that hard to find a partner if one is not too selective. I had men old enough to be my dad asking to meet me, then u have the opposite extreme of guys young enough to be my kid brother. And then there are the ones that seemed too perfect and u will just wonder where the catch is? Anyway, I haven't been playing this game long enough (I am really BUSY u know!!) so haven't really gotten the hang of separating the sly ones and the sincere ones. What I do know is so far most men have been pretty predictable. List of questions or statements I usually get from them :
1) Will you give me you phone number so I can contact you more conveniently – yeah right...what is wrong with emails.
2) Why don't you come over to my house and I cook for u – so u can eat me alive??!
3) Why don't you ask me for a date? – excuse me, after my 1st contact with u!? Dream on. And since when the girl had to ask for the date!? Bugger.
4) This is the best – do u wanna make out? - go try the chicken parlour sir!
Maybe it's just me not trusting people, but whatever happened to the olden way of going after a girl? What happened to taking the time to understand someone before even daring to suggest anything sexual? *Gosh *
HOWEVER, all is not bad. There are many successful cases of people meeting through the internet. I have a friend who got married with the guy she met on ICQ. And Paul gets harassed in the middle of the night by the girl he has phone-sex with. (You made me do tht Paul!!) But for me...hmm..maybe when I learn to trust people more else I think internet matchmaking is not my kinda game. Or maybe when I become less selective. Or when a guy that truly match my criteria appears – remember : MUST LOVE DOGS.
To all guys, one word of advice from COP : Dun be a jerk and start off by asking a girl their bra size and if she is willing to have sex with you. Grow up sir! Where have all the good men gone....sigh~~

And ones again my reputation goes down the drain. I just want to state for the record that i never had phonesex. When she called in the middle of the night i was so confused i thought my alarm went off. I kept banging my poor innocent alarm but of course that didn't stop the phone ringing. So i shall never know what the intention was .. well .. actually she did speak in my voicemail saying . GOODMORNING! Ah well .. guess 3 o clock at night also qualifies as morning :-(.
Paul? When did u ever have a reputation? HA HA HA
