First off, PCH exists to sell stuff. Or rather, to hook up a zillion consumers with a million brands. PCH has no interest in giving stuff away: the games and contests (including the "sweepstakes" that you've already won) are click-bait to get you into the system, nothing more. There are no prizes.

But even if they were the Santa Claus they say they are, you stand a five times greater chance of dying before you finish reading this sentence than you do of winning. You can think positive all you like, but they prey on people who do not understand statistics.

Get a job, work hard, and don't live on foolish dreams of easy money. Read to your kids, use good grammar and groom yourself well. Use birth control. Use alcohol and other drugs judiciously or not at all. That's your best chance of success, and actually statistically will make you wealthier. This is your life. Get used to it.

I suspect that "Amberleigh" is actually a forty-eight year old man in a wife-beater with a cigar in his mouth and a bottle of Thunderbird in his desk-drawer.

To get the most out of Chemistry.com, you will require:

(1) A mental prophylactic. Most of the people on the site will give you syphilis just by thinking about them.

(2) A certain unscrupulousness when it comes to deception in the quest for romantic fulfillment (usually called "foreploy").

(3) A taste for rowdy, juvenile, mindless, narcissism.

Chemistry.com is, however, useful for a drinking game that I call "Play No Games." Take a drink for every variation of "No game-players!" or "I don't want to play games!" Do a chaser or shot for every case where this non-game-player shows evidence of playing games.

Finish a bottle of Thunderbird if the non-game-player is looking for a good Christian man or woman.
