The hookup

So...I was watching the Reality Show lineup last night and came upon the small gem that is the Salt 'n' Peppa Show. I realized in last night's episode that it mirrored the song and dance that my family and I go through when they try and "Hook a Sista up"
1. I do not think that they truly take into consideration the type of person that you are. In my case, they are so desperate to hook me up that the only qualification that they require is that the person's status is single.
i. They hook you up with someone who would work with what THEY WANT YOU TO BE.
ii. They hook you up with someone who does not even begin to fill the basic requirements. (Is he nice, does he have A JOB????)
2. Family can be a little overzealous. (I really think that my mother is seriously wondering if my eggs will EVER get fertilized) I had a cousin who attempted to hook me up with a dude who was a troll in every aspect (short and surly). My other cousin was so upset, she got mad for me...
3. What absolutely kills me is they have decent friends who might even be single....Why do I never get the cream of the crop???Why do I get the crusty castoffs???
Lesson: I can eff it up on my own...LEAVE ME ALONE
