It seems that most guys who contact me on Eharmony use the “what is your interest” question. I don’t know if “watching really bad reality television” is something that these guys are looking for. But, being lazy, I don’t know that I have any other interests. Well, my main interest is writing this blog, but I can’t very well write that answer! Originally I was putting “volunteering” and discussing my love of working with various charities. But, that’s kind of boring. And something I haven’t done much of lately. I think that the guy probably isn’t interested in that so much. I mean, I don’t think it’s turned any guy off yet, but it definitely isn’t getting him excited to meet me. He’s probably picturing someone who is more akin to a school marm than I am. Lately I’ve been putting how my interest is hanging out with my friends and making delicious dinners. But, is that really an interest or something I just do? I think I’m going to create some canned answers. Maybe say something random just to see what kind of responses it elicits.
“I’m really into taxidermy. If I shoot the critter myself, it’s an added bonus. There’s nothing like waking up early on a Saturday morning, driving to the desert, and finding a little bunny or squirrel to bring home to place on my mantel. Live pets are nice, but they’re too messy. And you have to feed them and pick up poop. This is the way to go. I’d love it is my partner shared my love of taxidermy. He could skin the animal while I prepare the polyurethane form and glass eyes.”
“An interest of mine is flossing. I love to floss my teeth. I’m very big on dental hygiene. I would love it if my partner shared my love of floss. We could have floss-offs in the mornings, racing to see who could floss all of their teeth faster. And having someone to floss with would legitimize my need to buy floss in bulk at Costco.”
“My favorite thing to do is origami. My apartment is full of origami. Literally. You can barely walk through all of the origami. My record is 673 cranes in one day. I’m looking for a partner who can help motivate me to be the best origamier, crane-maker in the world! Nimble hands on a man is a plus, but not a requirement.”
“I like knives.” (I think this one is best left as is. No need for explanation.)
“I spend a lot of time with my ant farm. I’ve named all 1,459 of them. Each one is completely different and has a personality, which is weird, cause they’re ants! Not persons! But, I swear they do. I’d love a partner who wants to learn about all of them.”
“My favorite thing to do is write letters to men in prison. They need attention too!”
“My interest is babies. I love babies. I want babies. Babies, babies, babies. Oh, and I’m really interested in weddings. I love wedding shows. I love wedding chapels. I already have my wedding dress picked out, so I just need the man who matches it. You look cute in your picture. You may match pretty well. And then babies!!”
Ok, I guess I’ll stick with my interest of hanging out with my friends and cooking dinner.
