I don't understand why women got a man's chest and arm pillow (which accomodates the heart) while men get a woman's lap and legs....
What does that say about the men of our generation? Why do they find solace in a set of legs and a stomach?
I don't think it's as much about the "legs and stomach" as it is about the lap. Although I think the pillow is a silly idea, I can definitely understand the comfort of a nice, snuggly lap. The thing that's sad is that there are people out there who can't find a real lap and have to settle for a stuffed one. (Another reason why eharmony.com is such a great idea!) :-) --Amy
I actually signed up for eharmony once just for the free profile and to see how it all worked. You have to pay to be able to respond, but I found the profile somewhat interesting. You don't get many matches right away and then they start pouring in.
Still, I dunno. Something about saying, "I met and dated my wife on the internet" just doesn't seem like quite the best romantic relationship story to tell the kids. :)
But, to all five of my readers, I would like to say that "don't let the fear of telling your kids that you met your spouse online keep you from FINDING someone who is truly compatable with you, a soul-mate who understands you completely, shares your values, and wants to spend the rest of his/her life with you."

I agree, that it shouldn't stop you from finding your mate, but at the same point, I decided to look elsewhere. Thinking more on it, I think my problem is that the whole eharmony thing seems too formulaic too me. While I'm prone to try to put a formula onto everything, it seems different... like I'm not in control and the matrix is picking my mate. :) Love shouldn't be about formulas. I'm sure there are many examples of people who, by the formula, should never have married, but have amazing marriages.
And what, pray tell, is unromantic about meeting and courting your spouse over the internet? Romance is all about adventure, and what could be more adventuresome? ;-)
Though I went through a debating society, not a dating society.

Like I said, I think it's more the formula that bothers. I know I end up making the final choice, but the computer selects who I get to talk to.
