E-Dating
Since it seems that I am incapable of finding a woman on my own, I'm considering doing what was once unthinkable. Signing up for eHarmony or some such dating service. I know it smacks of desperation, and I have my doubts about it's effectiveness, but it seems that using conventional methods, I'm only able to find women who like me, but I'm not really attracted to, or women I like a lot but couldn't give a rats ass about me. Neither situation seems acceptable at the moment. Perhaps I'm too superficial and should just look beyond physical attraction, but I can't help feeling that I shouldn't have to settle on someone I'm not crazy about. And so I find myself at this crossroads. Do I stick to traditional methods that so far have gotten me nowhere, or do I swallow my pride and accept the stigma that goes along with online dating? I'm not quite to that point yet, but I'm inching closer with each passing day. Is there some third option that I haven't yet considered?

Don't worry, the stigma on online dating is gone.
Or you could do what your cousin did: Hang around in a grocery store and wait for women to flee away from him.
I don't think online dating is nearly as bad as it used to be. I think it's a great way to meet people. It's hard to find the love of your life after high school or college. Life is so busy and if you're not super busy with activities outside of work you might never find someone. I think you should jump right in. Lucas met his wife online. I think it's great. Just go for it! Good Luck!
I've heard great things about eHarmony it does a good job.
i think you should do the online dating thin too. my aunt found her current husband through some online dating thing. Now they're got two kids... I think.
I also heard of this newer e-dating thing called chemistry.com You should try it.
Failing that, I'd say the only viable third option involves a tower and a high powered rifle, but I don't think that's as desirable for some reason.
I've always thought that sooner or later I'd end up in a clock tower with a high powered rifle. Glad I'm not the only one.
And will one of these dating services help me to build a harem, or will I have to move to Utah first? That's a price I'm not willing to pay.
Way too much positive feedback going on here. Not that I don't think it's a good idea, but I'm afraid I have to bust up this love fest by saying something negitive. 137% of all girls on E-Harmony have 'the crabs.' ;)
I know from personal experience some of the sites (True.com) you get a lot of 'contacts' from porn or advertizers, and sometimes they send you 'winks' from girls who have never even looked at your profile etc because they think you'd (vaguely) match. Good times.
I've been waiting for a dissenting opinion. 137% is pretty alarming, that concerns me.
And the last thing I need is more porn "contacts". I'm becoming convinced that myspace only exists as a portal for porn "contacts".
Despite hearing a plethora of success stories, and even knowing a few, I remain skeptical.
