War Jounal, 6/25/07

Last week's match hasn't responded to my communication request... and will probably be purged this week.

One new match this week - lives 4 hours drive away. She'd have to seem pretty spectacular for me to consider it... and she didn't. Closed.

Geez, less than 1 match per week over the last month. That's not good...

Here are my new matches per week during my membership:

wk 0 - 49 (unpaid)
wk 1 - 48
wk 2 - 22
wk 3 - 19
wk 4 - 7
wk 5 - 18
wk 6 - 6
wk 7 - 10
wk 8 - 5
wk 9 - 5
wk 10- 17
wk 11- 43
wk 12- 33
wk 13- 7
wk 14- 1 (last match was 6 days ago)

The principal preference that I've varied has been the religion setting. In weeks 0 and 1, I requested my Christian denomination only, and set the strength of this preference to the highest value. New matches went to zero early in week 2, so I added a few more denominations and backed off the strength a notch. That increased the matches, but only for about a week.

I also fiddled with distance and education very briefly, but was not happy with the results. Changing the drinking preference from "once a week" to "several times a week" had little or no effect.

At the end of week 10 I dropped the religion preference strength another notch, which started to give many "Spiritual, but not a member of a religion" matches. That lasted about 2 weeks, and the final two weeks have been an absolute drought.
