Twenty years ago, when I was a single man, I tried a lot of different methods to meet members of the opposite sex. Even though I liked going to bars and having a drink or two with my buddies, it was hard for me to meet women in bars. After college, I signed up for different classes at the local community college and community center to try to meet people with similar interests.
At one point, I signed up for a local dating service. This particular service did an extensive interview with me to learn about my likes and dislikes. They would then contact me when they thought they had a female match for me. I would then call the lady for a date. I eventually met my wife through a personal ad in a local advertising mailer. Who'd have thunk it?
When I was on the dating scene, online dating wasn't an option for me. Had it been, I would have been all over it. Back in those days, I was what you would call an "early adopter" of technology. If it was new, and technology related, I tried it.
So what kind of people are using on line dating services? Probably a lot of ordinary single folks like you and I. It is interesting that on June 22nd reality television star Heidi Montag recently posted the following on her Twitter account "maybe being single wasn’t such a bad idea after all..Shop4Guys.com." Later that same day, her soon to be ex Spencer Pratt tweeted "HAH!! while Heidi shops, I’m meeting hotties on Meetlocals.com."
Now, I am not saying that if you signed up for either of those dating websites that you will meet somebody like Heidi Montage, but you'll never know unless you try.
