I wish you the best of luck with your endeavor.  You seem to be in the know regarding online dating.  While I would much rather meet a person the old fashioned way, I definitely do not rule out online matchmaking, and view those dating sites, and online posts as a 24/7 opportunity.  Meaning, I can sit on my butt at home and check out some ladies, w/o all the pomp and circumstances of getting ready to go out, etc. 

I am wondering if during your research whether you came across certain "formulas" that allow people a higher success rate of merely meeting someone from their post.  The times that I do read people's posts, there are a significant amount of women describing what they are looking for, as opposed to describing who they are and what they are about.

It would seem to me that the latter approach would be a better one to take, because 1) you rarely can get a "made to order" person, 2) from the male perspective, we would have to have an idea of your physical characteristics, and 3) just as a matter of principle, if you create a post you are marketing yourself.  If someone is selling a television, you don't describe the characteristics of who you want to buy it, lol.

Those are a few observations that may be leading to frustrations from people posting online.

I was in NYC this past holiday weekend and was talking with this younger dude about, among other things, how he met his girl, which in this situation was via online.  As I relayed the message via text to one of my female friends, she tried to mock his situation.  She feels she will meet her husband, through 1 of 4 ways, 1) School (she's in grad. school) 2) work, 3) via introduction from a friend, or 4) through civic organization.

To me it's crazy how one can limit themselves, in this day and age.  Even in NYC, where u can close ur eyes and come up on a fine woman, people are meeting via online.
