People don't get it. Internet dating will always be problematic from now on. There was a better time in the very early days of internet dating when things were better. Few people were online, and they represented a better class of people, a vanguard of the better educated and more successful. Those who used internet dating before 2000 know what I am talking about. As time went on, the lowest common denominators got computers and decided to try internet dating. The top class of people have moved on to other ways of meeting, as they stay at the top of the food chain and vacate the premises when the barbarians arrive. The top ten percent of society has always formed associations that promoted their agenda while locking out those who would intrude and spoil things for them. Try joining the top country club in your area while you are a blue collar worker, and see what happens. Internet sites allow anybody willing to post a profile and let loose of a small bit of money. Any club of people worth joining has very strict membership requirements, and none of the internet dating sites meet that requirement. Private dating agencies that charge several thousand dollars for the most basic memberships are what works, and they are strict in who contacts whom. People who have conflicting personalities will never get referrals to each other, and that is what you are paying for. Highly trained and skilled matchmakers with psychology degrees will know their clients very well and look out for their best interests. Clients will not be able to peruse the member base except for those the matchmakers have determined to be possibly compatible. Any dating agency that allows any member of the agency to contact any other member of the agency is negligent and worthless. Their job is to run interference, know their clients, and make matches that are actually compatible. That costs thousands of dollars per client. A bullshit questionnaire such as eHarmony uses just disguises the fact that eHarmony is as worthless as the rest, and the deceitfulness just makes them all the more despicable.

Suzy has a false viewpoint of the online dating situation. Men outnumber women from 2 to 20 times in the general online dating world. Real private agencies do not allow such skewed membership ratios to exist. The exceptions are the marriage agencies (not dating agencies) where the entire membership roles are female, but there are plenty of serious men willing to pay money to meet the members since the females are extremely well chosen and highly qualified for marriage. These are men who have no time for a bullshit organization like eHarmony. Highly skilled psychologists interview the women and get rid of anybody not meeting the strict agency guidelines. This is possible in places like Russia where angry females who were turned away by the agency for being substandard have no chance of bringing discrimination charges against the agency. This, along with the excess of higher class females, gives Russia and similar places an incredible business edge in marriage agency business. High class dating agencies in the USA face the problem of those being turned away possibly bringing discrimination lawsuits against the agency. That just raises the price of doing business. Men are usually more willing to pay, so smart agencies tune the business to attract male clients. If women would pay their way as well as the men do, then marriage agencies with male members that were handpicked for female clients would actually exist. Western women have been presented with the free ride approach for too long, and that is one of the things that stands in their way and renders them uncompetitive with women in other parts of the world.

Save some money and contact a real marriage agency if you want to find somebody, and leave the low class oufits that markets to the general population behind. Successful people have followed that approach for several thousand years, and it still works.
