You can use me as your posterboy. I just advise that, if you do, don't use the photo of me dressed as William Faulkner for a costume party. I think that level geekness is scary even to the majority of hardcore geeks. Heck yeah. You can use me as your posterboy.

No, seriously. Someone mathematically found it out using the Strouhal Number in Cruising Flight.<br><br>"Who's hotter - Xena or Sydney Bristow?"<br> -Sydney Bristow, even if just for the fact that if we got into an argument she COULDN'T kick my ass. Xena would have a fair shot at it. “Did you enjoy the Star Wars Prequels?”
-No. I literally fell asleep during Attack of the Clones, and while the fight scenes in Revenge of the Sith were better than the previous prequels, it was still a rock stupid story, ending, and bad acting.

“What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?”
-The air speed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is 24 miles per hour. No, seriously. Someone mathematically found it out using the Strouhal Number in Cruising Flight.

“Who's hotter – Xena or Sydney Bristow?”
-Sydney Bristow, even if just for the fact that if we got into an argument she COULDN'T kick my ass. Xena would have a fair shot at it.

I know dating sites tend to be like virtual bars, but this one sounds like a virtual Studio 54. I think online dating sites are great if you're looking more for having fun than finding a spouse or life partner. Most of the married people I know just happened to meet that person one day. They weren't out there searching constantly. So I think it's more about meeting that right person not finding them. Many people on these sites are trying to rush things and may not be willing to accept that the time they meet that special someone is beyond their control.

Every now and then I'll come across a guy who wants to chat because he saw that I'm into gaming and comics, but most of the time I just get "You're hot, wanna fuck?", and in many cases the guy in question is twice my age or older. Ew no thanks.<br><br>With that said, I think OKCupid works just fine if you want to find someone nerdy. The match percentage system works great if you answer like 1,200 questions...which I did...but I've come across several interesting guys in the 80-90% range. The highest I found was 96 and I really would have liked him, but sadly he wasn't that into me. I'm currently seeing a guy from there and I think he scored in the low 80's. But then again, I'm jealous that you've got Spoony lol.

Though I still think a dating site that banishes pictures would be kick-ass. Probably would never work though. “But you totally wanted me before you realized that I resemble an ape that's been beaten with the ugly stick!” ;-)

Seriously. They're everywhere online and it's just heartbreaking. Why? If they're earnest, maybe they feel insecure.

Assuming that you sign up for a dating site with the sincere purpose of finding someone awesome to share a romance with, why would you want to kick off your potential relationship with false information? I think the worst offense is usually outdated or misleading pictures. I've been victim of those before, and it's beyond awkward when you realize you're trapped at dinner or a movie with someone who looks much different than they led you to believe. *Shudder* Easy to lie, certainly, but I'll never understand those who do.
