Who gets to decide?

Jul 28, 2008

Okay, I'm looking at my profile tonight, after last night's long evening of question answering, and I notice that the profile "awards" bestowed upon me are not what I thought they would be. It seems that my answers have created a false image of who I "am"...for instance, I am labeled as "More Republican". This is hilarious. I'm a non-Christian, pro-choice, pro-gay, non-virgin. I am anti-Iraq war and would be a draft dodger if necessary, and I think that it's perfectly acceptable to burn the American flag. What's Republican about that? I am almost insulted by the label!

Also, the powers that be have deemed I am "More Organized" as well as "More Greedy". I am the most scatterbrained, ill-organized, chaotic people you might meet. My classroom looks like a papermill exploded in it most days and my poor apartment is the victim of my own tornado.

Plus, one of the only personal attributes to which I can certainly and readily admit is my nurturing, people pleasing, generosity. I surround myself with more self-serving people (not a bad thing, but they have severely high expectations of others), while I am the one who forgives, the one who will buy dinner just because, the one who will give you my last dollar if it'll make you happier/more comfortable.

I am not bragging about myself on that account, it's just that I KNOW that one quality exists in me, as it's caused me lots of discomfort in this life. I often find myself being taken advantage of or spread too thin. Greed is most certainly not an issue for me.

So, if you're reading this, I hope that you question the criteria on which these "awards" are based. Don't look at someone's profile and take those labels at face value, either. I am hoping Mr. Right chooses to ignore/overlook my faulty, mislabeled personality awards...because a guy who likes that I'm more conservative, more organized and more greedy will be sorely disappointed when/if he meets me.

Jeez, I'm disappointed to "meet me" everytime I check out my own profile...seems I'm misrepresented by it. :(

I would like to know why they even allow some of the questions that they do. I am not impressed by the grading process either. I am though more at ease with this site than I have been with others in the past...I think you agree. The way they match people isn't very logical in my opinion either. I am highly opinionated though so I guess I should just accept it. Nice to make your aquaintance.

What's all that jazz about Republicans being virgins? A Republican gave me the best orgasm of my life.

Meanwhile, I am apparently an unemotional, passive, cruel, selfish, unloving bundle of negativity. Someone could get the complete wrong impression with those kinds of personality awards! Well, except I am selfish, I guess. Oh, yeah...and cruel. Actually, its all true.

An image of Grignak I have to agree there are several "awards" I've "earned" that don't represent me at all. However, I figure if someone really wants to get to know me, they will read what I've written or else ask me straight up. Thank you for writing this post, it does help! Pleased to meet ~you~.
