Fun Link for a Monday
If you haven't gotten a chance to play OkCupid's Virgin Game follow that link and do so immediately. You no longer need to be a member of the site itself.
OkCupid is a free internet dating/networking site that is actually free, and the guys who created it are pretty entertaining. It's worth checking out just to take their personality quiz (you don't need to register to take this one either). I was "The Boy Next Door."
Anyway, when you sign up for the site you specify whether or not you are a virgin. After collecting that data for about 5 months, they unleash this game – randomly drawn sets of two images from their database, one person a virgin the other not one. You have to guess who is which. At the end they give you your score. I imagine many people had wished they did a better job reading the "terms and agreements." I couldn't beat 60% on it – tell me if you can.
The guys who do the page are Harvard math nerds; they have data-mined the hell out of their stuff to statistically find out weird virgin facts which are available as advice on the game: "Of two men the exact same age, the one with more facial hair is more likely to be a virgin." The only real problem is that it doesn't tell you if you were right or wrong for each specific person, they just give you your overall score (I guess the terms and agreements weren't that flexible).

That game is a bit baffling. The best Valerie and I could do was 62%. I am proud to say that I have now uploaded a picture of myself to that site from the mustasche competition 2003. I hope someone has to guess on it.

I'd be very curious to hear you and val's (and ed's for that matter) personality quiz types – I was "The Boy Next Door."

Mike, you just got served.

And I am, as expected, the "Slow Dancer".
I believe I've taken this quiz numerous times, always with the same result.
And Mike is clearly "The Hornivore".

I'm the "Maid of Honor." I'm not too sure what the fuck that's supposed to mean. And I got a 62% on virgin-guessing.
