When I embarked on this crazy idea, it worked well to have people choosing the guys for me on Match. It allowed me to "wink" at people I wouldn't necessarily have been interested in before. It meant that the perceived rejection when the winks weren't returned was diminshed. I didn't feel the sting that I might have otherwise, because "this wasn't my choice anyway."
It became a bit addictive, how many people could I find that might catch my attention. But after reading enough profiles I realized that winking wasn't good enough. I took another step... emailing. I started small, sending a few emails to the ones that really stood out and just winking at others. I would occasionally get a wink back or an email here and there, but it wasn't turning into much. I changed gears again... more emails. Next thing I knew I was one of those serial emailers! Where did I lose control of this situation?
On the other hand, what's interesting is that the site seems to pay attention to my activity level because when I am sending more emails, I seem to be getting more winks and emails from others too. Maybe serial emailing isn't so bad after all.
