nemorathwaldHas anybody else seen this OKcupid matchmaking site? It's totally free and the personality inventories are fun even if you don't intend to find a match. I don't just mean it's free to try, I mean every part of the site is permanently free, including sending and receiving messages.
It rated me as the Poolboy (Random Gentle Sex Dreamer) even though I think I'm better described as The Backrubber (Deliberate Gentle Sex Dreamer). The initial test that assigns this evaluation is about fifty questions. After that, you may take the "Improve My Matches" test. This is a list of 1,050 questions, delivered in random order, which you can take as many or as few of as you wish. The more of them you answer, the higher the percentage of confidence with which the site matches you. I've answered about 650 so the site claims to know me 96.5%. The key to "Improve My Matches" is that the 1,050 questions also ask you what your ideal match would answer and how important it is to you that he/she answers that way.
Is it just because of my matching, or are most of the women on this site between the ages of 18 and 21? That's kind of frustrating.
