"Really, really out there"

The speed dating site keeps "reminding" me to create a profile for perfectmatch.com, sigh. So here I go, I never had the intention of being on three sites.

The creation of the profile is pretty standard except it has multiple questions about the environment and if I need to have a partner who shares my view on the environment. Is that really that important? Sure, I don't want to date someone who clubs baby seals over the head for fun but if he's not chaining himself to an old oak I'll probably be okay. How odd.

What a bunch of hippies...

"World peace and other global issues (such as the environment) are extremely important to me. I believe our planet is in grave danger." True or False (This question is stupid because you choose a true or false for multiple statements, idiotic.)

"Could you see yourself in a long-term relationship with someone who has
opposing environmental views? "

"I recycle at (check all that apply):" at work, at home, I don't recycle

I do like this true/false statement:
"I am usually happy when I wake up in the morning."

And another poorly worded true/false statement:
"I believe you can "teach an old dog new tricks," that "tomorrow will be a brighter day," and that you can "forgive and forget." All the cliches aside, I believe people can change and you can repair a badly hurt relationship."

And the Results:
Romantic Impulsivity: Risk Adverse
Personal Energy: Relaxed (is that code for lazy?)
Outlook: Optimistic
Predictability: Seeks Variety
Flexibility: Flexible
Decision Making Style: Compromiser
Emotionality: Temperate
Self-Nurturing: Extrovert

The title is a quote from an episode of Sex and the City. Can you figure it out?

In 8 minutes or less

I just registered for Speed Dating. The age range is 25-37, quite a range. It is just in time for Valentine's Day so desperation should be running at ludicrous speed. At least there will be sushi...

Do you want to come too? Apparently I paid the full price ($35) to get you a $5 discount if you click here.

P.S. Oh no, I have to create another online profile on another website? Bleh, putting that off... Free, my foot.

I don't want to be famous

I feel like I could lose credibility but... should I do it, anyway? Apply for the Bachelor?

Sign Up: Chemistry

Money wins out that and I feel like a lot of people have tried Match and I've never personally heard great things.

So Chemisty.com's deal makes it $49.95 for 3 months. That may sound like a lot of sweet sweet cash, and it is, but eharmony last year cost me $60 per month and I definitely didn't not get enough hot dates paid for to cover that expense.
Taking the "Analytical Questions" Survey:

I'm intrigued the very first question is about the purportions of my right hand. Mine is "index finger slightly shorter than ring finger." I hope there is a palm reading next.

These questions are so different than the old standards. I'm an oldest child, looking for a single or double income marriage or I don't know, my sock drawer is just a little bit neat (I didn't ask about suspicious items that may or may not be currently hiding in it). Now I have to put my friends into a category, this one is harder. Choices: Social Crowd, Intellectuals, Adventurists or Acitivists. I'll call you guys Intellectuals, I don't know.
Now I have to play some kind of space perception game, gosh, this is bizzare.

Then standard questionnare.

Haha oh it's asking about my doodles. The gig is up, I draw hearts but only becasue I have very lousy drawing skills and hearts and cubes are the only things I've ever really been able to draw. You should see my attempts at stars, downright pitiful.

Picking a title for a book based on the cover picture. At this point I'm so interesting I want to date myself.

Light Yellow is the color I chose to describe my personality.

Woot! Got my second puzzle totally right! (That's assuming there is a right). That's going to come up I'm sure.

Now on to my Personal History etc...
This site uses more visuals than I've ever seen. Good work keeping me interested.

Is it important if my match has children? I don't know. I'm sad that I'm old enough now that this is a real potential issue.

And my least favorite part.... Headlines and Bios. Bleh.
Headline: Have you met my friend Kristen? (HIMYM stealing there and sad 3rd person narrative)
Bio: Admitted I like Harry Potter, the Economist and sometimes a comic book. Bring on the hot nerds!

Finished. Time: 45 minutes or so.

Signing up: Plenty of Fish

Currently signing up for Plenty of Fish. It's free which I have to agree with. It's the only site I've been to where my go to username is already taken. I don't know if that's a bad sign, has someone stolen my internet dating identity? Are they getting dinners and coffees instead of me? Stephanie Tanner would rightly say "how rude!" Now I'm at a loss for a username, people have clever things like Golfer_David. What would mine be then? SometimescombsmyhairKristen? Seems too long. I'mgonnaBlogaboutyou_K? Not sending the right message. PastaLova_09? I feel like I'm in 7th grade and trying to come up with a cool AIM name again, blast.... ahh misskd, good not taken.

The form is not too extensive. There are different options for "What I am Looking for" considered choosing "Hang Out" when I remembered this can mean very different things to different people.

Do I socially do drugs? Why is this a question? How do I know you aren't a cop? This form encourages lying, what a way to start a relationship.
Now for a headline? It suggests "Looking for a Good Hearted Man." That's not really my style. This is hard. I will put "Fish are slimy but Sushi is tasty"

Am I the only person that finds interests difficult to fill out? I always end up feeling boring.

Finished profile and uploaded a picture. Now I must take a personality quiz, this is more time consuming than I thought a free site would be. Only 40-something questions, not too bad. I'm sure they know everything about me now.

I'll post my personality profile in the next post.
