This won't maker any sense unless you have read the previous post.
Ok, the experiment is a bust. Yes it is true that I was able to create a profile that has got me zero hits. But what I was not expecting is that I feel like a complete liar and cheat...not cheat, a callous cheat.
Sure, Match picked out women I'd never consider and rated me as near matches. Really? Such a simplistic modeling. "I like movies, you like movies... aha a match..." But the gotcha was there were real matches and I felt badly that I went down this road.
Before you think I have lost my mind, yes, I realize that there is a big difference between being ONE of many returned results in a query AND NO FOLLOWUP and stringing some girl along and then rejecting her. I am just saying I liked a few of my matches and after a week have decided I don't like my Match.com game. I have a soul I guess after all.
One interesting side effect is that the diversity of women I got matches for was unexpected. I wonder what I would draw if I actually tried. Just not there yet.
For the record, the deal breaker was a 35 yr old gal that looked amazingly like a girl I dated 20 years ago. I am a total sucker for long hair and glasses: the "porn librarian" look. Sigh.
So I'll probably keep checking out the matches for a while, but my attitude is a lot more respectful. So I am now looking for new material again. This was way too easy.
