You've all seen the commercials...sign up for EHarmony and you'll find your perfect match! 30 days free, you'll find someone guaranteed!
So what does the AG community think about...online dating websites?
Personally I think the person who started these things is a genius. I mean, think about how many people in the world can't get a date in real life. And now, there's some magic way to find people! Yipee!! So you get people to go there, give them 30 days for free, and then match them up with people that they might like. Well they'll get to talking, but since it's online it would be hard to get very commited and really get to know each other. So they go from person to person, until their 30 days are up. Now they have to choose to pay, or quit trying. A lot of them will just give up, it's not working out for them. Or maybe they actually found someone and are doing fine. But then there are the people that don't want to give up on themselves, but haven't found anyone. So they start paying. And just like that you're making a ton of money everyday.
As to how they work, I'd say that they probably work ok for people. I don't have any experience with it, but it just seems like you could possibly make some friends on there. A boyfriend or girlfriend? Maybe. Friends? Probably.
So what do you guys think? Would you ever consider using one if you couldn't seem to find anyone in everyday life? Or do you think it's too weird and you'll just hold out?
I think they are pretty much pointless, a waste of money, and for people who are so sad that they can't get someone in real life. I like to use two words to describe them: Basement Dwellers.
