eHarmony

I realize some of you may find this post lame. That’s because it is.
eHarmony is an interesting thing. You see, with a normal online dating site, you upload your best picture, or a picture of your cat, or nothing. Then you type in your biography, or some witty humor, or something generic. Then after a few months, you have a superficial long-distance relationship with somebody’s photograph. And that’s basically the transaction.
eHarmony is totally different. You take a big personality test. You upload your best picture, or a picture of your cat, or nothing. Then eHarmony kicks out a first name of the opposite gender every week or two, you send them your “first questions.” According to eHarmony, they then read these questions and respond to them, and it goes from there. What actually happens is that they never respond, or “close communication” right there.
It’s so innovative! It completely bypasses the whole superficial long-distance relationship part.
