No, this isn’t it either

Facebook is, of course, evil.
As are people who create applications for it (with the exception of the wonderful Scrabulous).
One of the evil applications is the happy, friendly “Compare People”. You get shown 20 pairs of your “friends” and choose which is funnier, more generous, etc. All innocent enough until I see the collated results of how people see me.
I am, apparently, better at science, smarter and more generous than any of my friends.
That’s nice of people to say so, but those aren’t the categories I was looking at.
- rather kiss : 50% of voters said Yes! That’s 50% of two voters, of course, but still …
- better catch : 0%. Out of five. Ouch
- would make a better father : 0% out of 2. Suits me!
- rather have dinner with : 100% … out of 1. Someone thinks I know where to eat well.
- rather sleep with : 0% after 4 votes. Expected, but still hurts
- more attractive : 0% after 4 votes
- rather marry : 0% after 2 votes
- hotter : 3 No votes
- cuter : 4 votes here. All say No
- a better body : 0%/4 votes. Now the category had been “a bigger body” …
- sexier : 0% out of 5. *sighs*
- rather date : 2 votes. Need I say the result?

Oh I HATE those comparison applications! I did it once, but I felt so guilty about comparing my friends like that I deleted the application and never did it again. It’s just not nice
And looking at your own stats isn’t nice either … After all, it’s all so subjective, so don’t worry about it Lionel, the people compared you probably have shocking taste!

See? Yet another reason for me to just be happy I left. And I think you’re a better catch than most people I know, if that counts for anything. Which I know it doesn’t, really, but, you know. Were I free, I’d so date you.

Happy I left Facebook, that is. I should have said. But there. I did.
