Okay maybe not. Actually the day kinda flew by until the about 6ish, and then it just died, and I\u2019ve been bored ever since.<\/p>\n<p>So of course with nothing truly constructive to do, without getting fired at least, I decided to peruse the main page of xanga and decided to check out their little match maker\/personal ad. So still bored with perusing I finally run across an amusing local ad, and thought \u201cHey, it\u2019s a fellow xangan, I\u2019ll send em a little message\u201d, and then the proverbial \u201cCatch22\u201d kicked in, you had to buy credits to send messages or anything for that matter other than simply look. So annoyed with having to pay for something as trivial as posting a simple message I decided to continue my journey of reading interesting profiles, all the while annoyed at the fact that one had to dish out some green to send an email.<\/p>\n<p>Finally fed up I decided to check some other sites, actually I didn\u2019t really decided, I happened to check my email at yahoo, and it was flooded with spam mail form dozens of match making sites, so it was kinda like fate nudged me in the direction I took. So I pulled up a blank document and wrote out some simple response to the, what seemed to be the average question on all the sites. This was mainly because I was tired of typing the same thing over and over and over and\u2026well you get the picture. Anyway, after the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> or 4<sup>th<\/sup> site I went through and put pretty much the same filter on all the sites, apparently they all had the same engine running on all of their servers, because for the exception of one, they all asked the same question and for the most part had the same format. <\/p>\n<p>At this point I\u2019m thinking this is just one servers with dozens of different domain names, and looks so people don\u2019t noticed they get the same results whenever they go to any of them, but alas this was not the case since they all didn\u2019t pull up the same people when the search results were done, inevitably throwing that theory out the window. So then I decided to find one that seems kewl and find out what option they had, I also had a small idea of actually writing down the addresses and basically doing a review of all of them but, figured that would be way to much work to do, especially for a Friday.<\/p>\n<p>After a few minutes of maxing out the apparent bandwidth allotted to my system all the sites finally loaded up with their pages to send replies to all the people I had chosen, and of course you guessed it they all required some sort of $$$, with only one exception to the rule. That\u2019s right; if you\u2019re female you get to pretty much do it all for free. Now don\u2019t get me wrong here, and I\u2019m far from a chauvinistic pig, but why?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, women have no problem finding guys no matter what race, creed, color, shape, or whatever they may be. Why you may ask, simple, they have what every man wants. Would you like to know why there is not a female version of who wants to be a millionaire, simple the show would never end, every male on the planet would line up, okay every heterosexual male that is. You could host a show \u201cWho Wants to Marry a House wife\u201d or \u201cWho Wants to Marry a Career Woman\u201d, and get the exact same results the show would never end, simply due to the overwhelming turn out. Basically if you go to pretty much any club, you see guys scoping out the scene, yet no matter what game you have, or how witty or charming you may be it still comes down to \u201cher decision\u201d and whether or not she wants to give him the privilege of her company. <\/p>\n<p>Now this is not something that\u2019s bad, it\u2019s good, it instill self confidence, but why does corporate America decide that this is the way things have to be. Take for instance personal ad, a woman as free reign and can pick and chose, free of charge, yet a man, is treated like the leper, who must forgo his life\u2019s earnings for a mere peek at someone who overall, may tell him to kiss her ass. I say either charge them all or let it be free, of course anyone who knows me, knows I\u2019m for the free aspect of things, especially if it\u2019s on the net. Which is quite ironic, since I could buy a $14,000 car; free of any subscription or service charges, via the web, yet I can\u2019t send a simple email to someone in my same town to say \u201cThat was funny as hell\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>In the immortal words of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austinpowers.com\/\">Gold Member<\/a> \u201cIshn\u2019t shat Vvweird!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>?<\/p>\n<p>?<\/p>\n<p>I shall now don my flame retardant suit and awake the onslaught \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-282\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-january-4-2003-at-0754-pm?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-google-plus-1\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-google-282\" class=\"share-google-plus-1 sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-january-4-2003-at-0754-pm?share=google-plus-1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Google+\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-282\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-january-4-2003-at-0754-pm?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-january-4-2003-at-0754-pm?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-1235658-282-69e0b64e8e053' data-src='\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=1235658&amp;post_id=282&amp;origin=djmgyx.net&amp;obj_id=1235658-282-69e0b64e8e053' data-name='like-post-frame-1235658-282-69e0b64e8e053'><h3 class='sd-title'>Like this:<\/h3><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height:55px'><span class='button'><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading...<\/span><\/div><span class='sd-text-color'><\/span><a class='sd-link-color'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay I have an hr left before I go home so I supposed I better write something witty and controversial.
