I have been a member of most of the popular online dating services over the course of the last five years. It's an interesting way to meet people. There is one practice that I think all the services need to reevaluate. They tell you how many people you have been matched with, or how many people have viewed your profile.
It's then way too easy to click on the link that shows the number of people who were actually interested enough to contact you. Math is easy when at least one of the numbers is a single digit, so I know at a glance how many guys had no desire to talk to me.
My biggest problem is that I want to know why. I am more intrigued some days by the people who keep moving down the line than by those who write. Maybe because I am comfortable with who I am, I want to know what they are looking for. Ever the "nice" girl, I even have told some people where to look for what they want.
Some days, though, if I'm not careful, it's almost like a rejection. "All you guys checked me out and not one of you thought to say hi?"
The really scary part is that I am looking for one right person in a sea of "they'd do in a pinch." How many men are there in this world, now? So how many of them have to keep moving on before I find the right one?
I'd better get busy. This could take a while!
