There definitely advantages to being an old fart who never used dating websites. I met my wife cause she was the girl next door.

Probably fake profiles to “populate” the dating sites when they get started.

Still, don’t even think about checking to see if her name is in the leaked records available online at such-and-such website!

My friend also married the girl next door. Of course he lived next to a brothel.

“The 42.5 million records, which appeared to belong to multiple apps, were stored on a U.S.-based server and largely contained the IP addresses and location data of American users...”

Only 42.5 million? I’d expect about 150 million looking for something...ANYTHING!

Well, after my first wife died, in our 30th year of marriage, I signed up for an on-line dating site. Met a widow. We've now been married almost 19 years. Very happy marriage. It can happen.

I have always thought that people who use those websites are lame.

Real men don’t use them. John Wayne never did.

Best bet for a guy getting back in: widow, married once, liked her husband, liked her father growing up.

The Duke was a do-it-yourself kinda guy.
In True Grit he announced, “”Fill your hand,
you son of a bitch.”

Just consider everything to be a government information gathering app and act accordingly

I find it hard to believe that a man as busy as John Wayne didn’t use an internet dating service at least once.
