Here I am!

The Internet is the single most influential invention since flight.  It has changed the way we do everything and anything, from banking and shopping to discovering "friends."

Note the quotation marks.  To me, because of Facebook and other social networking sites, the very word "friend" no longer indicates someone who will pick you up, never let you down, and give you support.  Now I think it just means an acquaintance.

I also find it funny that one in five couples in today's America meet online.  I guess they're just luckier than I was.

Or maybe it's because the two major dating sites, eHarmony and Match.com, pander to the most average people imaginable.  eHarmony even goes so far to say that there is an "unmatchable" 1%.  All I know is, one of my sisters signed up and the site put her in that class.  And look where she is now—she has a boyfriend who thinks very much like her!

Truth be told, I expected to be in the unmatchable 1%.  It wasn't to much of my surprise that I was not, considering that I was incorrectly put with lots of very Christian women.  Yet at no point did they acknowledge how "very important" height was to me.  In fact, the whole reason I decided to join was because I was being discriminated against by the local tall club because of my age.

Both will be discussed in detail later.  Because the Internet is the printing press of the modern world, I will use the power of "cybormation" as a personal antidote to online dating, attract readers, then meet in person any woman who expresses interest.
