I’m in a slightly better mood today…. no I’m not. Ah well.

I signed up for Facebook after getting an email from them indicating that open registration was now allowed. As much as I hate social networking sites, (especially Myspace), Facebook though seemed far more sophisticated to me, sporting a MUCH cleaner look than that other networking site that shall not be named again. So I figured what the hay, and made the plunge. There are many networks and groups you can join, so I decided to try my local network to see if there were any likeminded hot looking girls that I could discreetly add to my list of friends.

There were plenty of them in my area… that is, of course, until I filtered the results. You can filter results in different ways, including political affiliations, so the first thing I did was filter the results to show only “very conservative” girls.

No matches. NONE. Good God.

So I tried just “conservative” and got back 11 hits… out of what had to be well over 1000 girls in the same network. Man did I pick the wrong political ideology to follow. It’s not that I have anything against liberals (other than the fact that I can’t stand them), but I do think whoever I hook up with ought to be on the same wavelength that I’m on, or at least understand where I’m coming from.

To be sure, there have been many times where I wished I had been a liberal atheist instead. My goodness, I’d have so many options I wouldn’t know where to begin. I’ve thought of pretending, but I can’t do it without looking transparent. It’d be obvious that I didn’t believe the liberal nonsense I’d be spouting, just so I could impress some girl. Hell I can’t even stomach saying the name “Clinton” without spitting. It’s just not who I am. And unfortunately for me, just by being who I truly am, that is, a conservative Christian, the dating pool has been reduced to a mere puddle.

As if to reinforce this point, last night I took the profile test for eHarmony… again. I don’t know why I keep going back to them, other than that I must be a real glutton for punishment, but having nothing else to do I wanted to see if I could finally get a personality profile that for once might be accurate. I answered the questions as best as I could, and got back a profile that wasn’t totally off the mark (but not much close to it either). I did think it was VERY accurate however when it described those ideal qualities that would make a match perfect for me.

After I finished the test, eHarmony did a search for matches…

“We have found no matches for you at this time.”

Yep, somebody up there is definitely having a lot of fun at my expense. If only I had a large family, then I could simply do what all the other red state Christians do: just marry a cousin of mine.
