Reveling in my day off from work relaxation time, I was just uploading photos, finishing a book, and was thrilled to catch up on one of my guilty pleasures; Watching missed episodes of Desperate Housewives online at abc.com. I finished watching my show, and a window for Match.com popped up. Here’s the link. As I was about to X out of the screen, what do I see on the left column?- A marital status button.

WHAT?

Am I missing something?

Call me granny panties, old- fashioned, out of the loop- whatever, but why in the bleep would a match making/dating site have a marital status button?!?! Does this thing let you post your profile to read; Single 30-something female who likes long walks on the beach and to travel- seeks married dudes to date. No offense to those who have found true love on the internet, but now I can add one more reason I think online dating is ridiculous. I mean, to each his own. I just don’t think I’ll ever lean over to one of my gal pals to say, or post something online that says “Sweet! Bob is married!? Hook a sister UP!”

Sheesh. I don’t get it.

    Maybe it’s just supposed to be divorced/separated/widowed or something? Weird, you’re right.

    I was thinking that too, but? Laughing. I guess I am weird to assume that people would want to actually BE fully divorced before getting into another relationship? Perhaps this is why I am single- HA! 🙂
