So much unintentional humor in this article, but this line is an all-time classic.

why anyone would want to marry the "women" that this society has produced is beyond me. Better to just fire to your wallet and your self respect.

Real sad. For decades we've been fed the story that mating rituals in the 1950's were unfair to women, hypocritical and boring. What we have today is about as empty as one can imagine and leads to some pretty serious problems (think of on-line dating rendez-vous which wind up with someone dead).

A return to more formality and less easy sex would increase human happiness. But try to sell that to the Dems or to Hollywood.

Does this national problem, too, need federal government assistance?

Is it all the Bush's fault?

Herold is turning her disgust into a documentary, Bachelor, 34, which captures her mother's urging her toward a relationship ("He's Catholic and Republican, but it's nothing you can't change")

Two reasons why white guys are losing interest in white women:

1. Guys don't want women who feel a need to be like guys any more than women don't date men who act like women.

2. Lots of guys don't want to date a women who gives off strong early signs of wanting to radically change them.

As a 40 year old single conservative male living in a liberal state (CA), I can tell you it is immensely difficult to meet available women with similar values.

When they find out I'm a republican and a gun owner, they run screaming for the hills, just as the media brainwashing has taught them to.

I'm coming to the conclusion I may have to move to a more conservative state or end up a life long bachelor.

I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but now that I'm a lifelong bachelor in my mid-40s I find that women are just more irrelevent as I get older. They want all the power with none of the responsibility and none of the initiative. Whatever you guess wrong (cause they won't tell you) is your fault and you must atone for your sins to stay in their good graces.

I'm just not interested in playing that game any more.

I have a good friend that is always match.coming it. She goes on a lot of dates and has lots of nice dinners and meets rich guys who are using match.com as a fishing hole.

I envy the nice dinners!

I have met a couple of the men she dated and they are male floozies.

Right. No wonder she can't keep a decent man ... when she finds one, she wants to turn him into Mark Morford.

I'm wondering if the problem is the type of men that will participate in the dating service.

Dating is antient history for me, but when I was involved in it, I couldn't imagine using such a service, and I can think of few of my single pals that would either.

Or maybe it's that people that need to resort to a dating service are too difficult to please in the first place that even computer matching doesn't work for them.

Finally, I don't think all the stuff they select for in the matching system matters. Weather you like pizza or polenta is irrelevant. People think having taste in common is important, but it's not. What's important is finding someone you respect and trust, and if you use critera like similar taste in movies and food, you'll never find your true love.

Sometimes people want something so badly that they start to see things that aren't really there - coupled with the fact that they're not really sure why they wanted it in the first place.

Well, OK, they want it because it's really trendy right now.

(And it's trendy because....?)

Men will be what women will accept. Most women have lowered their standards and most men are happy to go along with that.

If women held men to a higher standard, there would be a lot of better men to choose from.

BINGO!

I thought this was going to be a thread about the old "Dating Game Show."

Remember the classic - "What's the strangest place your husband has ever asked you to have sex?"

An "I can't wait to read this thread later" BUMP!

I met my wife on a Christian dating site (www.ChristianCafe.com); before she came along, I also met a lot of good women at the Christian section of www.MatchMaker.com. It worked for me, and it's worked for others I know.

If I were still single, however, I'd say that the Freeper Dating Service is a great idea.
