Hey Pretty and I are on the same page.
Nothing has changed with my online dating experiment. I tried to take things up a notch with a slightly provocative headline, but match.com nixed it.
Essentially I've learned that match.com is a cesspool of unoriginal ideas and thoughtless automatons.
Case in point, the profile text from the most recent contact:
I am very nice man I am Costa Rica I like dance sometime go the patty whit my friends I looke for very nice woman for more important tame off I like sinserly person no lide I love my live and my family.
I don't begrudge people their attempts to communicate in a second language, but I would hope that they might make at least some modicum of effort to get help so as not to appear completely illiterate. Seriously, where is this text getting anyone? And how could you read my carefully crafted (if a bit snarky and sarcastic) profile text and believe that this is the correct response.

Unfortunately, while obviously there are bright and interesting people out on the Internet, the net is also a natural haven for people who can't cut it in real life. As a result, such types are a disproportionately higher part of the online population, and therefore the odds of meeting lamers online are significant higher than the already high real-life odds.
My whole issue with online dating is that there is SO little you can actually learn from a profile and the process of going on dates just to see if there's even the slightest spark seems like such a waste of time after a while. While I've been open-minded to the possibilities for a long time, too many bad dates has turned me off of the whole endeavor.
