Quote From: s_wgauvin eHarmony and the like have no value and should not even be included in a conversation about love, marriage and relationships. Its embarassing to see women and men devalue human contact and all that marriage and love has to offer by portraying themselves as leftovers and societies throwaways. I can see it as entertainment....possibly...somewhat like those hideous gossip magazines. Does one honestly think that there is respect and admiration to be found here? Personally, these sites and matchmaking organizations are the equivalent of a brothel...you best put yourself on the corner and catch the best thing rounding the bend. What are we teaching the generation behind us watching the selling block ..moreover...what would you tell your children attempting to find love like this!? Madness....

Internet dating is only a means of meeting people, nothing more. The two people will either hit it off, find an attraction, or not. It is no different than meeting someone at a social event for the first time. The internet is simply a way for single people to meet other single people in their area that they would never otherwise meet. Many singles do not have the opportunity to meet people at work, they do not like to hang out in bars, and they do not feel comfortable trying to approach people they may run into in public, not knowing if they are single or not.
I met my current boyfriend on match.com. He has been wonderful, and we both feel such a strong connection to each other, and so comfortable together. In December we will have been together one year. He has been one of the greatest relationships in my life. And no, there are not guarantees it will work out. But there would be no guarantee either, had I met him across the produce island at the market.
Don't be so critical of something you know nothing about.
