new crop - Tues 7/26

I had one stray match on Sat 7/23 I forgot to post anything about, so I'm going to put him in with this batch.

# 0723-01 from Greensboro, NC - seems nice enough, but he likes to dance (yikes!) and all the books he's read recently are self-help/financial sorts of things, so nothing very interesting there. I really can't dance and would be a dead weight to anyone who can. He's got an artistic sort of job, but his pictures look like publicity photos of some sort - like actor headshots, but he's not an actor. They're just kind of odd. Rating: 2 frogs

# 0726-01 from Atlanta, GA - possibly the shortest match ever. I logged in this morning, saw my list of five brand new matches, and within the next five minutes he'd closed me down. Fine! I wasn't interested in meeting skinny vegetarian investment managers anyway. Rating: 3 frogs

# 0726-02 from Auburn, AL - I've decided that I'm a bit leery of guys who have a lot about "physical fitness" in their introductory information. Not that I have anything against it, but if exercising & eating right is one of their passions, we're gonna run out of things to talk about. However, his last book was A Confederacy of Dunces, so that's kind of promising. And he mentions being a liberal, so that's nice as well. He's probably pretty lonely if he's a liberal in Alabama, bless his heart. Rating: 1.5 frogs

# 0726-03 from Atlanta, GA - another local boy, and at least I'm still in the running with this one. He's also got a financial sort of job, but at least his last book sounded interesting from his description, although I'd never heard of it. He volunteers with Make a Wish foundation and is relentlessly upbeat in his profile - I'm not sure if those things are a plus or a minus. I don't think this one's going to go anywhere because of the "photos with children" rule that seems to apply to me - I don't think I've had any communication with guys who have pictures with children among the ones they have posted.

Now, on to the two guys that actually sent me requests for communication:

# 0726-04 from Athens, GA - maybe a little too into music for me, but considering how into movies & tv I am, I suppose I should be forgiving of obsessions in others. Seems to have a decent sense of humor and whatnot, so all-in-all not bad. Major drawback - I'm not crazy about his haircut. Which isn't really a big deal. Rating: 1 frog

# 0726-05 from Hartsville, TN - I have no idea where Hartsville is, so that's a minus, I guess. Last book, Tony Hillerman's stuff (re-reading). That's a plus. One thing from his profile I'm concerned about is this: his answer to the question about what one thing does he wish more people would notice about him is "how deeply I may care about some things in particular. Sometimes people don't understand and hurt your feelings unintentionally." Since I'm not exactly the reigning champion of tact, this could end up being a big minus. Rating: 1 frog
