Girls dating drawing

@Bonersaid:

I've always wanted to try online dating just to see what sort of matches it would throw up. My better half keeps vetoing the idea though.

Matching is typically based on whatever psych questionnaire du jour the service uses. It can be both really good and really bad. It's usually just whoever is in your city, or people who are conveniently at least an hour's drive from you.

I'll try to give you the executive summary:

1. You have a set of pictures of members of the opposite sex. Find one that appeals to you and move on to step 2.
2. Now you're presented with this person's profile.
3. If you think you two would be compatible (or you're not out of their league), roll a d10 and move to step 5 if you rolled a 10.
4. If you don't think you two would be compatible (or you're out of their league), you can either go directly back to step 1, or roll a d20 and move to step 5 if you rolled a 20, anything less puts you back to step 1.
5. This member of the opposite sex replied to your message! Now, it's time to write back. If the person looks average, roll a d20: 19 or less means that you will get another reply. If the person is above-average attractive, roll a d10: 9 or less means you will get another reply. Repeat as desired, and move to step 6.
6. Some people prefer to have long conversations before meeting in person, while others prefer to cut to the chase. It's a different amount for each person, and difficult to discern correctly. Isn't information asymmetry awesome? Once you feel comfortable, you can roll at d10. If you get 9 or 10, move to step 7. Anything less puts you back at step 1.
7. You're on your first date with this member of the opposite sex! Keep in mind that some people prefer something simple like a quick coffee date, but others want to be taken to a fancy restaurant to demonstrate your "intent." Roll a d10. If you got a 9 or 10, the date was a success and you can proceed to step 8. Otherwise, go back to step 1.
8. Congratulations! You made it to date #2. This should be a different activity from date #1, because it's your job to provide stimulating entertainment. At this point it might be expected that things are getting more serious, but that also varies from person to person. Roll a d10 once more...

If you're the kind of person who can make a sales pitch 200 times, get rejected 197 times and not take it personally, online dating might work. Otherwise, it's just a massive waste of time and energy.
