Online Cyranos Offer A Guiding Hand Through Internet Dating Maze

from the need-a-little-help? dept

First, when everyone was looking for jobs online, there were the “resume doctors” that started showing up everywhere. Now, since online dating is the hot thing, it seems there’s a growing market for online dating consultants who will help you jazz up your profile. They say the most common problem is people who write boring descriptions that contain no useful information, such as “I like movies”. There are even photographers who specialize in taking photos for dating sites.

Clones

I wonder how many people have the courage to admit they DON’T like movies, listening to music, or travelling?

How many men have the courage to admit that their true hobbies are playing war games on the net, surfing for porn, and reciting Monty Python movies on mute?

How many women have the courage to admit that their true hobbies are maxing out credit cards, talking on the cell phone during dates, and reciting romance comedies on mute?

Hehehe…. If it is a movie at the movie theater, I’ll admit I don’t want to watch it. Now if it is on my DVD player at home, I love movies (Star Trek, Star Wars, Matrix, etc.) Of course, I am sure I won’t find too many women interested in those movies. Which means I am a geek, and destined to be a geek forever…(or atleast until I find a respectible woman who will merry a geek and not try to change his geekdom.)

I’ll admit to everything but the surfing for porn.

“I got better.”
