whatchoo want? baby, i got it!
even though i already pretty much know that i have a very specific physical type in terms of the boys that i date (hello, zach braff...will you be my boyfriend?), today i decided to let match.com confirm (or deny) my suspicions.
so i logged into my free life-time membership (i was grandfathered in because i was one of the first 100 users of match.com - pathetic, right? call me an early adopter.) and began the physical attraction test. basically, the deal is that they flash a bunch of headshots at you and you have to quickly click on the ones who you think are hot. then you get to pick various bodies, noses, glasses, facial hairstyles, and heights. at one point, you need to click on the guys you think are not hot. i guess they like to shake it up a bit. some of the click-throughs are timed, others are not, but ultimately they want you to work on gut instincts and impulses.
most of the time, i found myself cringing as i clicked choices that i didn't find even remotely attractive because neither option was great. it reminded me of that "which would you rather" game, where someone asks a tough question and provides two of the most disgusting and ghastly answers possible to pick from. as i clicked, i thought about how ugly both choices were, but made decisions based on thoughts like "this guy looks richer" or "this guy's penis is probably bigger". it was almost like voting for president in this country - i was just picking the lesser of the two evils.
when the test finally ended, i really didn't care much about the results. however, here's the two paragraph description of what are apparently my favorite looks:
You liked a group of gray or salt-n-pepper-haired men we call "Silver Foxes." Words like "distinguished" and "striking" often come up in describing them. These men are "aging well." Their handsome and very masculine faces have carried age and new wrinkles well. They're the type that is compared to fine wine that "gets better with age." About 1 in 5 women (20%), across ages but especially over 40, found these men very appealing.
You also picked a number of men that we call "Professors." They're usually clean cut, handsome, and middle-aged. The words "dignified" and "confident" often comes up in describing them. They seem to convey a balance between masculinity and more warm, approachable qualities. Overall, 1 in 3 women (30%) of all ages find "Professors" appealing.
uh. so yeah. all you silver foxes of the world, you better watch out because i'm on the prowl and apparently no grandfather is safe.

a beautiful mind
i know it seems like i'm obsessed with politics lately, and that's because i am. our country really let me down this year, and yes, aunt tracy, i'm still extremely embarrassed to be an american. i guess not much has changed over the past 7 days. but while i'm on the subject of my aunt tracy, here's a recent conversation we had:
me: did you see this yet?
tracy: what's that, another bush-bashing site?
me: no, it's a breakdown of average IQs for the so-called blue states vs. red states.
tracy: (several minutes later) so what, now you fucking liberals are trying to blame bush for people having low IQs?
way to go, president bush. these are your people and you are their chosen one.

ok, today's the day for you to vote for john kerry. especially each and every one of you living in iowa who knows and/or loves me. come on, people. this is not rocket science. do you want a good person in the whitehouse or a bad one? do you know the difference between good and evil? good = john kerry. evil = george bush. it's as simple as that.
that said, check out my latest missed connection. you should post it in your lovely city's craigslist as well.
