Online Dating Advice?

frankgod asks: "I'm a 25/M/US geek who managed to get through school with my singleness intact. I plan on staying single for a while into the future, but I am considering online dating in addition to other methods of meeting local women for casual dating. Any advice on particular sites and tweaking profiles or search results? I've looked at eHarmony , Lavalife (sparse local results) and Match.com (seems to be best of the bunch.)"

  1. For those in the Tribe by cyranoVR · · Score: 1, Troll

    One of my friends was just married to a woman that he met on JDate.com

    Quote: "Highly recommended."

    Unfortunately, I don't have any more to add to the anecdote. Happily, I'm married so I don't have to use it :P

    Also, don't rule out Friendster.

    You will never in your life be in a situation like college again. Thousands of hot, single, young, intelligent women to meet and wade through.

    I suggest going back to grad school to fix your error. The older you get the more you'll realize this is true. Unless you're fugly then don't bother. Why do you think most divorced men in their 30's wind up marrying some dog as ugly woman? That is the crop they are harvesting (haven't used a farming reference in a while). Unfortunately the crop is past its prime.
