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.

If there's a spin on an old issue, someone will find a way to package it and sell it.

Professional women over thirty have a problem. They are competing for a shrinking pool of available professional men. Their criteria are rigid: the guy must be older but no more than a few years older, he must be in good physical condition, be taller than her, and make significantly more money than her.

What they refuse to see is that the small group of guys they're chasing, if unmarried, have little interest in marrying THEM. Many are having too much fun being chased by desperate women. Many have gone thru one divorce and are not willing to go thru another. Many prefer dating a 20-something store-clerk who would actually work hard to keep HIM happy. Etc, Etc

A couple of years ago I was a developer for a small dating ".com", and as part of my job had to monitor what was going on. An endless source of amusement
