Ok, so it's a local mag, and very popular.

I read that article too, Linda. I found it really interesting. I'd heard about the war between match and true but didn't know it was such a big deal.

I was pretty skeptical about the way they portrayed it. I am young, slim, not very rich and live in Lakewood but it was not like my experience at all either! My experience more closely matched the companion article too.

It did make me interested in matchmaker.com which was the one the main featured couple met on. I have had pretty poor luck with it so far. I am getting tons of emails (for me anyway - about 7 or 8 since Saturday), but hardly a single one I am interested including Ghana guy and the one asking if I would be interested in a submissive that would do anything I wanted. I emailed one guy from there who seemed interesting and he sent an email back. I emailed back but haven't heard from him since. Probably off to the land of the ghosts.

Hi Y'all,

About 4 years ago, I first tried OLD, and went to Matchmaker. So, now, some years later, and having been out of the dating loop for a while, I tried it again. NOT good for me, no one I was interested in, or just 'unusuals' that did not pan out. That is when I tried Match, and it has been pretty good. As with all of this, take it with a grain of salt, (preferrably that salt is on the edge of a large Margarita glass!). Moving forward at all times, at the speed of sanity, thank you

I often wonder why SO many peope wrinkle their little noses at me in disdain when I say I meet men online!? Do any of you get the same reaction? Oh, geee...so, it is better to meet them in dark, smoke-filled, Meat Market type clubs? Lounge lizards and Billy Bobs abound! Personally, I would not be meeting as many professional men as I am, without OLD, as the City is a good 35 minutes from my home. And as for living in downtown Houston..unless you can successfully palm a .357 and drink your Slurpee with the other hand, you are gonna want to stay Far away from those mean streets!

Personally, I want to meet a man to date that has Not heard the words, spoken directly to him..."We, the jury, find the defendant...."

Amen!

Truly,
Cupcake
