some people aren't meant to 'date'

The Cat just posted a meme that included The Dating Strengths and Weaknesses Quiz, from Dating Diversions. I took the same quiz six months ago. My results were quite different. This time around, here's what came of it:

Dating StrengthsDating Weaknesses
1. Financial Situation - 69.2%
2. Varied Interests - 57.1%
3. Sense of Humor - 57.1%
4. Open-Mindedness - 54.5%
5. Appearance - 50%
1. Temper - 75%
2. Vanity - 50%

Dating Strengths Explained
Financial Situation - You've got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. Be careful to avoid men who are only interested in your money.
Varied Interests - You don't limit yourself, and that's a dating asset. Your varied interests make you available and interesting to a wider range of men.
Sense of Humor - Men are attracted to people with a good sense of humor. Be sure to put yours on display!
Open-Mindedness - You are open to trying new things and entertaining new ideas, and this widens your pool of available men.
Appearance - Despite what some will say, appearance matters in dating. You get high marks on appearance. Just make sure you balance it out with other qualities.
Dating Weaknesses Explained
Temper - You need to work on controlling your temper. Don't let your anger get the best of you. A calm and rational persona is important when dating.
Vanity - Learn to put a lower priority on looks. Appearance is, of course, important, but vanity is undesirable. The only people you will attract are the superficial.

Dating Strengths Explained
Open-Mindedness - You are open to trying new things and entertaining new ideas, and this widens your pool of available men.
Spirituality - Your spiritual side brings you peace and balance, and keeps you grounded. This is attractive, as you can help reinforce this quality in other people.
Financial Situation - You've got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. Be careful to avoid men who are only interested in your money.
Dating Weaknesses Explained
Appearance - Devoting a greater effort at making good first impressions is a must. Try to be fit and develop a style if you want to catch a man's attention.
Shyness - You know all too well the limits shyness places on you. Putting yourself out there in social situations may be difficult, but essential to your dating success.
Insecurity - Your insecurity makes you doubt yourself, but you must learn to love and trust yourself if you want to succeed in dating.
Temper - You need to work on controlling your temper. Don't let your anger get the best of you. A calm and rational persona is important when dating.

I've become less open-minded. My financial situation has improved (indeed)--that is a good thing. My appearance is "worse"? Best of all, my temper is 25% more intense.
    I give up.
