EHarmony settled with the NJ AG and is creating a service for GBLT folk.

Hahaha. Well, I hope everyone continues to stay away from eHarmony and go to Chemistry instead. I was oddly amused by how glad I was as well, considering I'm not in the market.

Of course, everyone I know has been rejected by eHarmony as too difficult to match. Theories range from being too slutty to too Jewish.

I'll admit that I'm tempted to try it when it goes live. I mean, it's not like I'm not allowed to have another partner or anything. Could be interesting, after all. Problem is, I'd have to quit my job or something to really give it the time it deserves unless it's a "we will go out for beers once a week and then do it in an alley" sort of relationship.

Actually, that sounds pretty good. Dear eHarmony: hurry it the fuck up already.

Wow. You just sooooo channeled Jack.

Hey, I just got back from the gym. There was a guy there who looked a fair bit like Ianto (his face wasn't quite right, but his build and his hair were spot on).

Let's just say those were some of the best lateral pull-downs ever.

lol!

God, where was I? Somewhere or other recently, I was being all big and loud and Jackish and there was some guy across the room who I couldn't stop staring at because he was dressed well and had the nose, and when I finally figured out what was going on there, I just laughed and laughed and laughed.

Yeah, I had to make a real effort not to be creepy. The gym I go to is one of those 24/7 places with only minimal staffing, so it's basically where all the introverts go so they don't have to speak or make eye contact.

It's a lot like exercising in a men's bathroom, except that phrase isn't a euphemism for anything.

1. this is hilarious
2. I wish women would learn from male bathroom etiquette, because Kali and I were at a bar last night and strange drunk girls kept talking to me in the bathroom, and I was like "wow, I don't like people, and we're in here to piss, and I don't know where your hand has been...." It was one big homosocial WTF.

I was going to say, that's not eHarmony, that's eTorchwood!

I was rejected as too difficult to match as well. I now feel better about my perceived inadequacies.

I'm sure that's what eHarmony is counting on. If their service goes live and due to lack of support, poor branding, or a general boycott they can probably go to the attorney general's office and ask to shut it down as its failing to make a profit for them.

Of course now I'm curious to see if I would get rejected by eHarmony or not.
