Got some more junk mail today. It came from a dating service called Great Expectations. Could this be the cure for my lame love life (also known as the Great Depression)?

They sent a questionnaire to find out about the "person you are seeking." Asking about things like the age, education and occupation of the person you want to meet with multiple choice answers to choose from following each.

In the "Appearance" category, you had the following choices: Very attractive, Attractive, Average, Does not matter. Which do you think is picked most often? Nah, I'm not interested in those very attractive ones, just the ones with "a nice personality." By the way, nowhere on the form does it ask either what your gender is or what the gender is of the person you're interested in. People with names like "Pat," "Chris," or "Terry" must wind up on some interesting dates!

They do ask about your preference in a potential mate's marital status with one of the answer choices being "Does not matter." I guess they don't want to exclude polygamists.

Along with the questionnaire, the fine folks at Great Expectations were kind enough to send me a Business Reply Mail (postage paid by addressee) envelope. I hope they don't have a Great Disappointment when they read my form letter to mail solicitors.

I'm going to fire up my printer and crank one out right now.
