A few weeks ago I ranted about the rotten and mutated fish in the Match.com sea.  <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/04/22/day-206-i-intended-on-making-my-first-curry-but/" target="_blank">Consider it my PSA.</a></strong> I reiterate:  if you are single and you enjoy fresh fish, you better find a different pond, girlfriends.

&nbsp;

I was prepared to wade out my singleness (again) for as long as necessary, until Cooleenie suggested for the 1,001st time to try the pristine freshwater lake aka eHarmony.  It worked for her.  That's where she met her hubby.

&nbsp;

And that's where a colleague who is on Cooleenie's team at work met her hubby, and that's where one of the women on my team met her live-in-boyfriend/soon-to-be-fiance, and that's where our former colleague who is now in another division met her new fiance, and that's where my friend met his wife one year and a couple of months ago, and so on and so on and so on.

&nbsp;

More importantly, all of these eHarmony peeps seem to be unpolluted.  i.e. Emotionally intelligent and NORMAL.

&nbsp;

Most importantly, they are all in LOVE.  Sigh...

&nbsp;

I turned Cooleenie's offer down for the 1,001st time.  I've tried eHarmony before.  The lake was dry at that time.

&nbsp;

That's not entirely true.  There was the one guy that wanted me to halt my 401k match and buy whole life insurance from him instead.

&nbsp;

This is my life.  Welcome to my world.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Cooleenie:</strong></span> But that was then and this is now.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #666699;"><strong>Me:</strong></span> Nope.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Cooleenie: </strong></span> I'll find you a promo code.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Me:</strong></span> Not interested.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Cooleenie:</strong></span> It's been awhile.  Just retake the free personality profile.  You are under no obligation to buy, and you'll enjoy reviewing the results.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Me:</strong></span> O.k.

&nbsp;

Darn it!  Cooleenie knows me well.  INFJs are always suckers for free personality analyses.  We live for that stuff.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008080; font-size: x-large;"><strong>eHarmony's Profiling of My Personality:</strong></span>

&nbsp;

I'll share the digest version (the bullets) and spare you the unabridged version (the novela).

&nbsp;

You've heard their commercials and their "21 dimensions" jargon, correct?

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008080; font-size: medium;"><strong>On the openness dimension you are: </strong></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008080; font-size: medium;"><strong>Curious. </strong></span>

&nbsp;

(<em>Holy crap!</em>)

&nbsp;

Words that describe you:

Ok, ok, eHarmony.  I admit it.  You had me at "curious".

&nbsp;

What do you think, dear readers.  Should I let my innate curiosity try eHarmony one more time during my Year of Living Curiously?
