content: Not to be confused with this book of the same name:http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Internet-Dating-Bryony-Anne/dp/1906198047Claims he had never heard of my book, which is of coursebecause I was #1 on google for "internet dating book" or any such variation, and #3 or so at the time for the generic term "internet dating". Impossible to have written such a book and not have heard of mine.

content: I've met about 6 girls online. 4 of them got a second date. 3 got to the 6 month mark, 2 made it to 9 months and 1 will be 5 years married in July.I mainly used two free services at the time plentyoffish.com, okcupid.com and also tried paying for match.com.Plentyoffish got me the most responses but they always seemed to happen when I was dating someone else, or girls who didn't seem to want to commit to having a date. Okcupid got me the most dates and a wife. Match seemed to have the most girls that had already graduated college, 2 dates but one was because the girl recognized me (we had the same employer)The way okcupid works is you have hundreds or thousands of surveys you can take that are written by potential matxhea , you give your answers and how strongly you feel about it. Then you answer what you'd like your match to answer. Then it calculates percentages of matches and sorts them for you. The more surveys you take the more accurate your match percentage will be.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on May 13, 2014, 04:32:36 amLets see:14 years agoAl Gore hadn't invented the environment yet.Barack Obama apparently at that time knew enough about the US Constitution to teach a class on it.Mitt Romney was too busy fixing problems at the Salt Lake City Olympics to have time to fill binders full of women.Everyone had just assumed that Bill and Hillary Clinton had split up.George W. Bush was still known as George Bush Jr. by most people.Ralph Nader was still the eternal presidential candidate.The 2 former Klansmen in the Congress hadn't died of old age yet.The NSA was still only just spying on "bad" people.People from the middle east were just known as "Arabs" and not "Muslims"Osama bin who?Kim Jong what?Putin seemed like an OK guy.
