After almost three years being single, I will OPENLY welcome someone to hook a computer up to watch the four cams I have set up in my house, if it means getting a date.

@Pistachio?_GitEmSteveDave: i'm lost, what is it that you're doing at home alone that will make someone more interested in dating you?

@tetracycloide: Well, my cams can see what I'm browsing, what I'm eating, how I dress, etc... Shouldn't these computers be able to match me with someone if this system is in effect?

@Pistachio?_GitEmSteveDave: how you dress? you wear clothes when you're at home alone?

@tetracycloide: That would be a minus with me. I like a guy who doesn't bother with clothes when there's no one else around, or only the person you're sexin' up who's presumably seen it all anyway.

The anti-nudity taboo in private is one of the extremely stupidest things about America's Puritan heritage.

I guess this makes some kind of perverse sense. The motives behind matchmaking and surveillance are surprisingly similar. People who know what's best for you better than you do.

@corpore-metal: don't for get social welfare! pretty soon we will all be able to 'choose' our pre-selected mates based on what we did on cameras we didn't know existed AND based on how much money we get from/loose to the government.

I'm going to have to start posing and strutting in front of traffic cameras in hopes of catching the eye of a potential mate now. If you see an Asian guy dressed in neon green doing the funky chicken in the middle of the street, please keep driving. Unless you're a hot lady. I have business cards.

@crashedpc is for 6: But that means you'll get matched up to a girl that just likes posing and strutting. ...not that there's anything wrong with that...

@poena.dare: Sometimes, when one is desperate, even landing one who appreciates a guy dancing in the middle of the street is a viable solution.

@crashedpc is for 6: So that was you on Mission Street in that neon yellow and pink jump suit. I had my suspicions.

@crashedpc is for 6: You wear neon spandex in the city, you'll get attention, but it might not be the kind you're looking for. Just don't be doin' it in the Castro.

Have you tried Santana Row, or do you fear yuppie reprisals? How's about that freeway exit next to the mall?

@Evil Tortie's Mom: *throws rocks at Santana Row* I like the stores, hate the crowd on weekend nights. At least due to our delightful economy the Ferraris and Porsches don't come screaming out with their bass thumping garbage as often anymore.
