Blinded by the date



Setting somebody up has probably never been harder as communication is supposed to have gotten easier.  If you tried to hook somebody up with a guy from work now, your friend would first have you show her a picture which probably was happening a decade ago too, but now you'll be expected to pull one up immediately from your IPhone.   But it gets worse because no chick in her right mind is going to go out with a totally random dude and since everybody is on Facebook both sides of a blind date are only separated by the match-maker.     So before you even have a chance to make a first impression, you've made a lifetime of them with every terrible drunken picture, stupid status-update or addition to your Farmville.   

With everybody having camera-phones whose pictures are constantly tagged there will never be a time when two people will meet in a bar and have to describe what they are wearing so that they'll be recognized. There's nothing wrong with it but just another sign of the times but it's kind of sad that there will never be a guy who gets stood up because when a chick walks into the bar she realizes that he's 50 pound heavier and 10 years balder than she was led to believe.    I know it's cruel but basically this could be the end for ugly people to ever get a chance to make a first impression... thank god i'm married
