I did the Match.com thing and at first had some pretty bad experiences. I met a girl that did not look AT ALL like her photo and weighed about fifty pounds more than she had put on her profile. Why must people lie? I also played the e-mail game with several women. We would e-mail back and forth but never got around to meeting. Some were just silly. I'd get an e-mail from a member and their profile would go on about how they love sports and had a close relationship with God while MY profile was quite specific about not liking or knowing anything about sports and being quite non-religious. I wondered why they bothered to contact me when we obviously had nothing in common. I finally gave up and stopped paying but left my profile visible. After about a year a woman e-mailed me that seemed really great. Without boring you with a lot of detail we are now married. I think the online dating thing can work but its not a magic bullet and it can definately take some time.
