New York Post Dating: Fish in a barrel
Here's the link to the dating mainpage...
Readers chose nutty-looking Rob last week (dear God, that B&W of him is hideous - the anti-head-shot) but Cynthia chose close-runner-up Michael. Well, since I'm in a good mood this week, I'm happy to say that they had a good date! Remember what I said about good people? Give them a chance. He did well for himself. The both of them are not ruling out anything, which I think is the best news of all... they will be happy no matter which path they choose. (Normally, what's considered a "successful date" ends up with two people playing games and avoiding each other - best to keep a steady fire and not burn out brightly) I look forward to seeing their wedding announcement mocked in Veiled Conceit.
Who are the next contestants on "The Post is Right?"
Adam, the rock star! "Bling Bling"? Kill yourself! Seems otherwise like a decent guy. The Post certainly went out of their way to make him look like a decent guy...
... to be paired with...
Megan - tall, superstitious, pro alcoholic, jogs less than 2 miles! She produces commercials. Okay, I can't complain too much, but it'd be a quick relationship with Adam as they don't have much in common other than the fact that she's cute and he's in a band (which probably fits both of their short-term interests perfectly).
Nadera - you don't hold a fucking candle to Rosario Dawson, babe. And you look horrible in that Marilyn Monroe dress. You're trying too hard! And all of your boyfriends are flighty? Not a good thing to admit in a dating profile. Shame on the Post for not doing some heavy editing on this. (And if they did, I'd consider a libel suit) This was just a badly done profile on a girl who could be cute if prepared properly...
And Lori... Lori, Lori, Lori. A nice, seemingly decent person, yet the Post has wronged you by placing you here. You are completely not in this contest. In this terrible world, there's a hard rule of dating that cannot be breached - a person is NOT going to successfully date someone completely distant from themselves on the looks or sexuality scale. (look up the Ladder Theory to see what I'm talking about) I hate to say it, but Adam and Lori are so far apart in this respect that they don't match well at all. (I'm not going to give away which person is the uglier, less charming, or less overall appealing of the two, but I need not give you a hint. )
Ehhh, I gotta go with Megan. And so did nearly 70% of the voters. Tune in next week, when these two go on a date and let us know why they weren't attracted to each other afterward (while only having nice things to say about the other person... what a crazy world!)...
