Being guided

So, in the weird world of eHarmony, the first actual communication you get with a possibility is a 5 question multiple choice quiz. I've taken the strategy of sending the same questions to all matches I like the look of - mainly because I can't be bothered to keep choosing new ones, and they're fairly important criteria.

I'm not entirely sure what these questions say about me, but this is how I judge the responses:

• If you decided to stay at home for the evening would you tend to: watch TV; clean; read; talk on the phone [I'm not so bothered by this answer, it's just intriguing!]
• How many books did you read last year? 0-3; 3-7; 8-12; more than 12 [This needs to be 12+, it's an imperative.]
• If you went out to eat with a friend, which of the following would you prefer? A nice 4* restaurant; a basic steakhouse; an undiscovered hideaway; a hole in the wall with great food. [Steak house is a definite no - the others are all fine.]
• How do you feel about food? Gourmand; eat healthily & consume little; like it & occasionally eat large meals; eat three regular meals a day. [This is more so I know where I stand - especially if there's a foodie in the offing!]
• If I had a bad day, what is the first thing you would do for me? Cook you dinner; rub your shoulders; talk with you about your day; take you out on the town. [Talking, rubbing shoulders & cooking would all win...]

Lest you fear that this is totally impersonal, eHarmony does allow a little creativity - there's an 'other' option for each question. Some bright sparks use this to try and catch your attention...

The food question? Don't just tell me about your eating habits, throw in a bit more of your personality:

I love to eat food and experience international culture through it.

I enjoy cooking and having mates round.... It's more the company than the food.

If I've had a bad day? Make yourself sound like the perfect man:

I'd put the kettle on and make tea, followed by a shoulder rub and talking about your day. Really depends on the situation.

Can I cook you dinner and then take you out for a drink? Awww, since you asked so nicely, yes you can!

Or, just make yourself sound a tad desperate: Talk to you and do what ever is necessary to do. Well, if it's 'necessary'...

Interesting stuff, yet I can't help wondering if this just makes me even more judgemental than simple profile watching!
