Dear Match.com...

Dear Match.com:

This letter is in regards to the "your new matches" e-mail sent at 1:06 AM on Thrusday, the 29th of January.

In this e-mail, you provided the usernames and pictures of a number of no doubt highly qualified matches, all of whom you ranked at higher than 80%.  I'm sure you saw some quality in each of these potential future Mrs Matt Deckers, and I appreciate the effort.  However, there is one so-called "match" that I must question.  Do you really, honestly, truly believe that NurseEmGOP is a 90% match?  Do you know me at all?

Let's analyze this...

1) Her username is NurseEmGOP.  Yes, GOP... as in "Grand Old Party."  The Republicans.  Team Elephant.  Gay for Regan.  Etc.  

Why would you even suggest that??

2) Now, let's delve a bit deeper into her profile.  Politics: Conservative.  My profile: Liberal.  Religion of her Ideal match: Christian (actually, she listed Christian/Catholic; Christian/LDS; Christian/Protestant; and Christian/Other.  That's very specific).  My religion: none!! She wants three kids.  I say I only want 1 (and even that is a stretch).  Her last read: a biography of Sarah Palin.  I reiterate, a biography of SARAH PALIN!  Just for kicks, let's see what I have listed.  I am America (and so can you) and The Audacity of Hope.  Really, Match.com?  Do you really think someone who read books by Stephen Colbert and Barack Obama would be interested in someone who found Sarah Palin interesting enough to read a book about her?

Match.com, I am very disappointed in you.  I thought you knew me.   If you're trying to get me back, Match.com, this isn't the way to do it.  We're through.  You can give up now.  

With Love,
Decker

PS: Really?  Sarah Palin?? Come on.
