Contemplating Life at Match.Com

It's time to take dating seriously again. I've officially rejected everyone in my small social network, so I must extend my overly-picky reach beyond my friends and into the cybernet. I contemplated the following usernames:

Gloquita
GloquitaMoquita
GloWantsYou
YouWantsGlo
ReeseWitherspoonIsMyCelebrityClone
DesperatelySeekingYenta
WhatIsThePointOfAllThisAnyway
MyMotherMadeMeDoThis
OnlyMrDarcyNeedApply
LegolasHadBetterHair
DumpedBradPittAreYouIntimidated
GiveUpNowIOnlyDateMovieStarsAnyway
Under6FigureNeedNotApply
WantPorscheGoodEnoughToGetOne
NoNotShallowDevilMadeMeSayThat
HaveUnrealisticExpectations
PlanningToEmasculate
I'llJustScareYouAnywaySoWhyBother
TotallyBitterBitchFeelingForcedBySocietyToMate
We'llNeverWorkOutAnyway
CompletelyDevoidOfAllRomanticIdealsAndDreams
GivingUpBeforeStarting
YouLostMeAtHello

So - please vote. I'll need some input if I'm going to go through with this.

As I read through the list of name choices, I noticed that they progressively got kind of negative.

Anyway, I vote for Under6FigureNeedNotApply.

LegolasHadBetterHair. No contest.

If you decide you want a truly cool yet enigmatic name, you have my blessing to use RadioactiveJam.

No need to thank me. Your happiness is all that matters. So to speak.

You could always use RaJ's suggestion, or maybe change it to RadioactiveGlo. But I vote for OnlyMrDarcyNeedApply. I love him! Besides, doesn't every woman need a guy with one of those Christmas sweaters who will bail your butt out when you're in a prickly situation? (blech- to the sweater, not Mr. Darcy)

Well you have made my user name of JustCheckinItOut or JustLookin (I can't remember) look completely pathetic...I might have to steal GivingUpBeforeStarting :)
MyMotherMadeMeDoThis is pretty good in my humble opinion...I also like YouLostMeAtHello but that would depend on the sense of humor of the guys checkin ya out.
My all time favorite username is icdeadpeople - the funniest part being that my friend who uses it was working as a cemetery counseler at the time. I don't that was the reason behind it but I still chuckle.
Lemme know how it goes on match.com - it's actually one of the better ones out there...again, in my humble opinion.

i like gloradise, dem.

Nadia said...

I like NoNotShallowDevilMadeMeSayThat.

It's not just funny, it's true.

PaintingChef said...

MyMotherMadeMeDoThis is HYSTERICAL!

But for real? I think gloradise is perfect!

Unknown said...

Gloridise, for sure.

Or General Muffins.

Just wanted to say hi.

Katie said...

OnlyMrDarcyNeedApply

That's my vote. Gloadise just isn't as descriptive as this one, I feel. Besides, it's from Jane Austen, and you can't be completely embittered if you can think along those lines.

Guess I had the wrong Mr. Darcy... mine was from Bridget Jones. Oh well.

I like DumpedBradPittAreYouIntimidated. :)

Oh, forgot. My Christian radio station always has cool ads for eHarmony.com. Uhm, I think that's the one they have ads for... a little fuzzy as I type this.

So if match.com doesn't work out, check out eHarmony.com. :)
