Bald looks gets love notes?

Either someone is playing a joke on me or my new bald look is having an effect on the women at Kenan-Flagler. I received a LoveOGram in the middle of my taxes and finance class this morning.

 

I wasn’t paying attention during the lecture because I was planning on dropping the class before tomorrow’s noon “add/drop” deadline, when the class selection system finalizes everyone’s class schedule. I was sitting in the back of the classroom and noticed that other classmates were either surfing the web or working on his Yahoo! bracket selection when I decided to check my email.

 

In my in box was something from LoveOGram telling me someone had anonymously expressed an interest and I had to log in to the system, type in the name and email of the person I am interested in, and if there is a match, we would both be informed of our mutual affections. My first reaction was that it was a joke. I was punk’ed a few years ago by one of these systems when I typed in the names of everyone I was interested in, only to be have the information emailed to a college buddy of mine.  Not wanting to have a repeat of the incident and having the information announced on the KFBS Onyen, I investigated the web site and concluded it’s legit.

 

The unfortunate part about this is, assuming this is not a joke, there is very little I can do in response. There are, by my estimation, about 135 women at Kenan-Flagler. Subtracting the ones that are engaged or married results in about 90 single women. I am not going to go into the system 90 times and type in everyone’s name and email address just to see if there is a match. Besides, every non-match results in a similar LoveOGram generated to the woman saying “your name has been entered into our system, log on to find out who it is.”

 

As flattering as this is, it’s a bit childish. This is not the sixth grade where you leave an anonymous note on someone locker (actually, that exact same thing happened to a classmate when she opened her locker on the first day of Mod III … I only know this because I had to borrow her textbook and had to meet her at her locker) .. grow some balls … I know that statement just now is politically (as well as anatomically) incorrect, but you get my drift.

 

In other news, the bald look has gotten a lot of attention. I was walking out of the garage earlier tonight for my India class when a former professor looked at me and smiled. I was waiting for my bacon and eggs at the Café McColl today when someone from admissions saw me for the second time this week and said “I can’t believe how different you look.” I have been asked in the past week if I have noticed any difference in the reaction from the women. My answer was “I didn’t do it for them.”
