all depends on what's right for you I guess. I'll let you guys in on a little secret since I'm afraid to post in the confessional thread.. I actually tried out eharmony.com for a month (not just the free signup because they don't give you any matches that way, just a personality evaluation) but actually spent the 50-60 bucks or whatever to try it out for a month, and what's funny is that based on the criteria I entered (as honestly as possible) the only matches I was getting were black chicks in the south and midwest areas...
Now, I should mention that "my type" is stereotypicaly chicks like Iolanthe or what I imagine Iolanthe to look like irl: a buck nothing, five nothing, real easy on the eyes, and a snobby indie rock chick who's full of herself cuz she's got half a brain and maybe has some interesting hobbies and/or knows a thing or 2 about music and fashion.
However, I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that if I ended up with a chick like Io, or even found myself in pursuit of a girl like her I'd be downright and utterly miserable. Hell, I
have pursued a girl like that, and we need not be reminded of all the threads that situation spurned
What's funny is now I have Shaliza who makes me ridiculously happy, whom I would marry Tomorrow if given the opportunity, and who ironically is black and originally from the south. Makes me think that maybe eharmony knew something I didn't.
The moral of the story is that you really shouldn't waste time chasing anyone and instead set your sites on meeting someone who will just "feel right". Think about it, in the long run... do you wanna end up with someone where you have to pretend to be something you're not all the time, or someone who's going to love you for who you really are?
and now that I've played the sweet card, I'm going to give you the real ultra secret player's advice that no other player wants to share so you don't step on their game:
[spoiler]The best thing a guy can do while he's single and working on himself to eventually be "equal" enough for the high standard chick is to find some random chick (or chicks) who he has no interest in and fuck them as much as he can. This is to avoid the dreaded "pussy on a pedestal" syndrome that mg so obviously suffers from. Moreover, a girl just tends to think "What's wrong with this guy?" if you're not already sleeping with someone. If you pick up on that vibe and get all insecure you may as well just bow out courteously at that moment, cuz you're done.[/spoiler]
