The Online Dating Game



Being newly single I’ve been contemplating the world of online dating. A surprising amount of friends and co-workers are on Match.com and J-Date.com and I just read an article today about how the stigma from online dating is now gone.

I’m just not so sure. First of all, I’ve heard that its mostly honest girls, like myself, being e-mail bombed largely by sleazy, short, fat and balding older guys. This is not true across the board and you totally have the power to not respond and block people…but who wants to sit there and weed out 1000 losers to meet one potential loser?

On the other hand, I don’t think there’s ever been one time in my life (or in the lives of my friends) that I’ve met someone at a bar, at a club or any place like that. I don’t think I have any parties coming up and my friends are like 98 percent female which eliminates the friends-of-friends idea….

Just something to contemplate…

I’ll be back in a few days, going on a business trip until Saturday. Lates!
