Dating Reptiles

Greetings and welcome to the Un-Zone. It’s Un tested, reader approved. Apparently, on Yahoo Search, my blog is second on the result list. All you have to do is type in “The Un-Zone” and poof, my blog is a result. I find it interesting that I barely get a mention on Google. Oh well. I can’t complain too much.

I like online tests. Personality tests, trivia tests, IQ tests…I just have to take them. It’s a weird urge I have whenever I am online. So I find this neat test, but you have to register on the website to take it. It’s free. My “privacy” is paramount according to their site, so I sign up. Five minutes later, I’m registered and I take the test.

This site also does online matchmaking also under the guise of “meeting new friends.” No, it is not an adult website with links to porn. I’m not into online dating. Hey, if you like online dating, whatever floats you boat. Go ahead. I'm just not that into it.
Despite being a technology freak and a person with social-avoidance issues, I like meeting people face to face. Human interaction does have its benefits. You can actually tell if they are being honest. An online interaction lacks seeing nonverbal cues like eyeball rolls, lip purses, and body angling. If you’re online, you can type whatever the hell you like and no one can really tell if you are lying. Unless you Google their name, assuming it is their real name. You see what I’m getting at?
This site claims to have a “scientific” method in making these matches. They take the answers you give to questions, assign them a point value based upon how important the answer is, take the answers other people gave, and by sticking everything into a formula, they will tell you if the other person is right for you. This compatibility rating is given in the form of a percentage.

So I answer those questions for fun. Just to see what they are like. Most of them are pretty basic. Things like dating style, political views, etc. Some of them were very odd. Actual question: “Would you date a large reptile-like creature?” What the hell does that have to do with finding a match?
"Sure. Why not? Of course I would like to date something resembling a crocodile. I'm a big fan of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. My last ex was a lying snake, anyways..."
Hell no. If an attractive person licks their lips and looks at you, that’s good. However, if a walking python licks their lips, it might mean you're dinner. It puts new meaning on being good enough to eat. "That smile is really sexy. Wait...or are you hungry? I can never tell.... Honey, put the salt shaker down. I'm not food. Honey...AUGHHH!!!" Why not tattoo some cooking instructions on my forehead and paint a bulls-eye on my chest? Maybe some flashing lights too. Why waste time? Might as well prepare the pan also.
And the “matches” that I got. What the...? I have conservative values about relationships, drugs, alcohol, etc. I’m also looking for a smart, witty, kind, funny, and interesting girl who doesn’t mind a guy with very odd quirks and who shares those values. If she’s attractive, hell, even better. And despite plainly answering these questions in a conservative manner and stating that it’s very important the other person’s answers match mine, I keep getting a person who is a “self-described slut” who has had sex with all of her friends. She also wants to meet people to have sex. And she is also engaged, according to her profile. And a drug user. And a heavy drinker. Um...no thank you. Some might like that, but not me. I’m beginning to wonder how many “friends” she has. That and if their formula is messed up. It must be some sort of joke they play on people.

Um…if you like what you see on my profile and on what I’ve written in this blog…give me an e-mail at…just kidding.

Anyways. I think I shall just stick to online tests on that site. That’s all for now.
