Test your Success in Online Matchmaking
We know and keep telling our readers that the key to online matchmaking success is honesty. Be honest when answering the questions in the personality test. Add a picture to your profile that shows you in a typical situation where you feel at ease. Always be yourself when answering messages…
But imagine if someone actually put that to the test. We’re pretty sure we know what would happen, but we would just love it if someone did the following:

Naturally, most personals are pretty generic and not terribly interesting. Here’s a few great examples of personals that are, well, a little different…
“There is a little place in the jumbled sock drawer of my heart where you match up all the pairs, throw out the ones with holes in them, and buy me some of those neat dressy ones with the weird black and red geometrical designs on them. “
” All humans are 99.9% genetically identical, so don’t even think of ending any potential relationship begun here with ‘I just don’t think we have enough in common’. Science has long since proven that I am the man for you” Read more
Meet the be2 Team: Michaela
