the batch from Thurs 7/21

So here's the latest crop of bachelors from eHarmony:

• # 0721-01 from Marietta, GA - avid golfer who didn't bother to fill out 8 of the 11 questions you're asked in the introductory information or post a photo. His dedication to the process is less than impressive. Plus, the only thing he bothered to mention he liked doing is golf. Rating: 3 frogs

• # 0721-02 from Tallahassee, FL - an engineer who doesn't like to read books at all, according to his profile. He also says he's not interested in women with children, although he knows that makes him sound "encreditably shallow." Among the things he can't live without: a clean house. Clearly, not a match made in heaven. This poor guy would end up beating me to death with my unused Swiffer as I lay on the sofa reading a book, if he ever had to live with me. However, since he sent me a request to communicate, and we're so completely mismatched, I gave in to curiosity and answered his questions. One of which was "How do you feel about premarital sex?" Now there's an icebreaker! Rating: 3 frogs

• # 0721-03 from Jefferson, GA - one of the photos he has posted shows him handling snakes. Not in a bizarro religious sort of way, but still - he's handling snakes. Big ones, not little innocuous garter snakes. Also, last book - DaVinci Code. And he's got a 17-month old son, which makes it seem to me like he hasn't been single long enough to be out trolling for chicks on the internet. Of course, I'm assuming he's divorced and not tragically widowed or newly adoptive, which I shouldn't assume. Nice looking guy, but I think the combination of DaVinci Code and the snakes spells our doom. Plus I don't know where the city of Jefferson is. Rating: 2 frogs

• # 0721-04 from Powder Springs, GA - I do have some idea of where Powder Springs is, I think. Southwest of Atlanta. Maybe. Anyway, that's where the next bachelor is from. Also a decent-enough seeming sort of fellow, but in one of his pictures he's in the pool (and therefore has his shirt off), and I feel that anyone that posts a photo of themselves half-naked is probably going to be a little more concerned with appearance than I would be comfortable with. Plus they're unlikely to be interested in the less-than-photogenic-in-our-bathing-suits girls like me anyway. So, this one's probably not going to get off the ground either. Rating: 2 frogs

• # 0721-05 from Powder Springs, GA - yes, another match from Powder Springs. It's like Alaska down there, I guess; very short on available women so they have to import them from the big city. Anyway, this guy actually seems nice. Only one misspelled word, "ludicrious," and that one's kind of a toughy anyway. Last book - Dune Chronicles. You know I love guys that aren't afraid to admit they're nerds! Nothing stellarly exciting in his profile, but he seems like a well-rounded decent sort of fellow. So I doubt I'll ever hear from him. Rating: 1 frog

So that's it for this crop. I'll write more when I hear back from #0721-02 from Tallahassee. I can't wait to see his list of Must Haves/Can't Stands. I also plan on recapping some of the Closed Hall of Famers as well in the future.
