You Put this Love in my Heart by Keith Green. Video

Like many of my friends I occasionally use a vane, narcissistic Facebook app called Compare People. As it name implies Compare People allows other Facebook users to record whether they think you are “more likely to skip class” or someone they’d rather “be stuck in handcuffs with” etc.

After a couple months of putting myself up for comparison what do folks think of me?

Well, they think I’m smarter (6 of 6), better at science (4 of 4), and have a great sense of humor (5 of 5). They think that I study hard (4of 4), am loyal (4 of 4), and likely to succeed (5 of 6). As a result I’m a popular pick with whom to be trapped on a desert island (6 of 6).

All in all, folks seem to have a relatively high opinion of my brains. This begs the question, do brains make a fellow more popular with the ladies?

According to Compare People: Definitely not!

I’m not attractive (only 3 of 7), because I don’t have a good body (0 of 2), am not cuddly (0 of 2), can’t smile (1 of 4) or dance (0 of 1), and am not sexy (0 of 2). Maybe the fact that I am unfashionable (0 of 3) has something to do with it.

There you have it: what Facebook thinks of me.
