This topic came up in conversation the other day about online dating sites and their ability to put two people together compatibly. Yes, we have all heard the success stories, but I guess I am cynical enough to wonder if it's all too good to be true. 

 Dr. Phil was a huge fan of Match.com and that old guy who seems to know what he's talking about thinks eharmony.com is a very scientific approach to romantic chemistry. (No, I don't know if there is a bunsen burner involved so I can't account for the scientic theory involved.) I can't help wondering if any dating site is worth it when their is way too much room for human error. 

I met a guy several months ago who had a profile on Match.com. Though married he wanted to "meet people" (code for: well, you know) and he also mentioned that his buddy sent "winks" to every girl no matter if they were compatible or not. Another friend of mine (female) showed me her list of local "matches" and I have to say I became very concerned when I saw what was out there. 

In the guys' defense...for heaven's sake, if you want to attract a girl do not, I repeat, do not find the only photo you have of yourself and crop out your old girlfriend...it is so obvious when you do that. Compared to the guys' profile pics women's look way better and of course there seem to be many more of them to go around.

So my question to you all is, who will admit to using an online dating service, did it work for you and what was your experience? Anyone?
