In New York, we're being shown TV commercials for eHarmony.com, an online dating service that's unique on a couple of fronts. Not only is it the first Internet site in three years to buy TV time, but it's the only dating site I've seen that asks users to answer 500 questions. Now that's desperation dedication. I've simpified matters for the female readers out there who wonder if they'd make a good match for me:
1. What is your idea of a romantic evening?
a. A long walk on the beach
b. A long walk on a short pier
c. A long walk to White Castle
2. The most important thing in my life is:
a. My stupid cat
b. My stupid dog
c. My autographed Don Mattingly rookie card
3. If I could choose one superpower, it would be:
a. X-ray vision
b. Bionic muscles
c. Scott Baio's game
4. The person I most rely on for advice is:
a. My mom
b. My best friend
c. Jim Beam
5. I read Playboy for:
a. The articles
b. The hip social commentary
c. Why lie? The porn
6. Before I die, I want to see:
a. An end to world hunger
b. Man walk on Mars
c. Pedro Martinez's arm fall off
7. If I could have a ticket to any event, it would be:
a. A presidential inauguration
b. The Super Bowl
c. Britney Spears' inevitable Playboy photoshoot
8. If a dying child's wish was to see the Mets at Shea, I would:
a. Treat the kid to tickets, hot dogs and souveniers
b. Arrange a clubhouse tour with the Mets before the game
c. Tell the kid he's suffered enough
9. How would you rate George W. Bush's performance as President?
a. Positive
b. Negative
c. That Sammy Sosa deal worked out better
10. The greatest actor the world has ever known is:
a. Humphrey Bogart
b. Marlon Brando
c. Dick Butkus
Now add up your score in the following manner. Score 1 point for every A, two points for every B and three points for every C. Results are as follows:
1-10 points Have fun sipping cosmos without me
11-20 points It's not you, it's me
21-30 points Wanna get hitched?
I answered all C's - too bad I'm already married and knocked up.
