Perhaps those who elect to do “speed dating” are in fact to busy for a relationship in the first place.

People were also more likely to find a date if their prospective partners were more alike.

Nah, really???

Whatever happened to going out with a guy because he is cute and has a porche? Everything has to be so complicated nowadays. LOL!!!

By offering an endless array of choices, they are essentially inviting people to not take each potential date seriously, leading to an often-futile search for greater “perfection”.

But, in the 14th century, where there was only one available of the right age and sex in your village, you just got married and that was that.

Um, when I was in Japan I sent out a personal ad to a gaijin magazine and was inundated with phone calls.

I had about 30 dates over 3 months:
9 Japanese
4~5 Brits
4~5 Aussies
10 Other (Brazilians, Russians, etc.)

On the 28th date I met my wife. Within a week I called the girls I was still fooling around with and said I was no longer interested. My wife and married a week later.

Fooling around is fun, but identifying and marrying the right person is DESTINY.

True. The person you might fall in love with if you worked next to him or her will be eliminated if he is one inch shorter than the height range you specify as acceptable in an online dating site, or if she is one year older, or has some other minor issue. It’s too easy to click through thousands of profiles and discard one because the photo isn’t flattering or the ad mentions some sport you don’t like.

maybe these people should try the way that works for a lot of people: have friends and family introduce you to people they think you might be good with.
