ABC's new reality show about internet dating had its first episode tonight. I have to say that my feelings about the authenticity of the show are mixed right now. Every single woman is young, attractive and successful. This is not a true snapshot of "everywoman" who is placing and answering personal ads. If it was meant to make "the rest of us" feel better because even "they" can't get dates, it failed. Still, I enjoyed watching the dates and the small talk attempts. One woman had a date with a 43-year old musician who posted a 15 year old photo of himself and called himself a thin Fabio when they spoke on the phone. He even told her he was in his 30s and a part time model in his email. The guy who showed up was very eccentric and not at all what he said he was. She even called him on it and he didn't seem to care. Hmm.... now that's more like it. Anyhoo--- wanted to share my thoughts. I'll probably watch it the rest of the summer just to see if anyone has any success... and to learn some pointers in the event I decide to head back out into the dating world soon. The weekend is almost here. This week has just dragged by. I only work a half-day tomorrow. My team at work is having an "off-site team building meeting"-- which is business-speak for we're taking the afternoon off to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory together. :) Bring on the oompaloompas! I can't wait to see Johnny Depp as a neurotic hermit who doesn't trust anyone and who lives in a world of his own imagination.
