Okay… for the record, these commercials purport to tell the stories of actual couples who met through eHarmony. As such, to the best of my knowledge, Jeff + Kelly are actually very happy together and are not having any problems.
…it’s just…
Well… Jeff’s metaphor bugs me… A passenger in my life? What the heck is that? I don’t want a passenger… I want a partner… I want to be challenged… I want someone who can take control when needed… but a passenger… meh…
…and that whole it felt like she’d been there my whole life thing? I don’t know exactly how one should feel when they first meet the person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with, but… I don’t know… perhaps some sort of excitement at a minimum… if life feels no different now that she’s there, why bother?!?
Oh well… it’s all semantics… I know what he was going for…
You… complete me…
Maybe I’m out of touch with what’s romantic though… I should ask Laurie what she thinks of Jeff… That’s probably a good thing because Laurie is a lot of things, but she certainly isn’t just a passenger!
Maybe its just me but I sensed a “traditional religion based male-female marriage roles” undertone to that very commercial. You know, the one where the female is the caregiver while the male is large and in charge. Not meaning to offend anyone, just stating, or re-stating, some well known tenants for certain religious folks (I recognize such arrangements aren’t the sole domain of religion, but outside of religion there generally isn’t an organized belief system that defines such roles). Probably at least somewhat purposeful on the part of eHarmony- you know, to look wholesome and attract “good” people. If that is the way it works for them (and it apparently does), so be it. Don’t care for it myself so I think we’re on the same page there. And by golly, look at the females we’re partnered to! No one would say they don’t drive some times…most of the times…all the time while letting us think we have some control periodically just to help boost our egos just above the zero line…ah, marital bliss…
PS. You kinda gave up on the boobs in this one…
Really… I thought the hand on the hip was the total disaster!
Ok, why would I look at hands when there are boobs to ogle? And not that the boobs are a disaster, just not as enticing as in the previous post. They went from Teresa sized to Wendy sized for some reason…I’m probably going to get in trouble for that…
Hands are kind of a disaster now that you mention it. Kinda like alien bird toes on a branch…
Yeah hands continue to be a struggle… I maintain the reason for it is this: https://slightlyofftopic.com/comics/225-i-said-give-me-five/
Laurie says you’re going to a… uhm… very special place for that Theresa vs Wendy comment!
