Finding a mate is a numbers game, pure and simple. Online dating facilitates meeting X women in Y amount of time. One typically starts of with requirements {a, b, c} but then as they go along they figure out that their requirements are in reality {b, d, e, ...}. The qualities {a, c} just weren't that important.

- kaypro 11y agoYour comment reminds me of the last book I read as per Bill Gates : "The Rosie Effect". Albeit the protagonist takes it to an extreme level but his conclusions matches yours. Humorous quick read.

- neogodless 11y agoMy take on it is - count on online to "increase how many people you meet" rather than "increase the quality of people you meet." Use the numbers, meet lots of people. Like Jim Collins might recommend to business, "hire slowly, fire quickly" though in this case, maybe "date quickly, leave quickly" until you find someone that seems compatible in person.
