What are the odds?

I've exchanged a few emails with a guy in the last day or so -- let's call him Larry -- who bears an uncanny resemblance to Ken, whom I dated in January.  Even down to the limp.  Over text, Larry said he walks with a slight limp, due to a tumor he once had in his spinal cord.  I got the whole story, and it was kind of sad.  (Apparently he just drew the genetic 'short straw'.)  What are the odds that I'd meet two men on Plenty of Fish, of a similar age and build, who both walk with a limp?  This is the question I asked Muffy today in a text, which got the funniest answer ever...

Were you in a limp chatroom?  (Ha!  Oh that could go so many ways.)

Anyway, he's been texting me all day.  Not even kidding -- I've had four texts and it's only 5pm.  He seems really nice, but gimme a break!  He's taken all of the usual 'game' out of the situation.  There's no mystery, no wondering if he'll call or text.  I've complained about 'the game' a lot, but now that it's out of the equation, I kind of miss it.  Without any challenge, and with the guy practically falling at my feet, I seem to be much less interested.  Could it be that 'the game' is actually important to the human mate selection process?  I'm storing this thought for later.
