[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595121, member: 1550"] my son is actually having a lot of luck on Match as far as meeting women. I don't see him as struggling anymore than those who aren't on online dating. Seems like everyone who is single that I know is struggling in their quest to meet somebody special. It is much easier when you are young and in college. Work is iffy with many companies not even allowing dating, although I'm sure many people break that rule. But many work places don't offer a variety of people. As for friends and family, when you are old they are less apt to know people who aren't already attached or interested in being fixed up. And what if, like me, you have a very small family? We aren't the only small family in the world. Not everyone has a huge social network either and even those I know that do are not getting too many fix ups. There are good and bad people everywhere, agree. The last place I'd want to meet somebody though is at a bar! I'm surprised so many here think that's a normal way to meet. Half the time, you and the guy you meet aren't even sober (this from a few who do go to bars whom I know). I'd prefer the internet, although it certainly doesn't sound very inviting to me. [/QUOTE]
