I was proud of my online dating profile. Even if it didn’t provide a shiny knight.

It’s been a while since I’ve required the services of an online dating service (thank GAWD). I had no personal success in their use, save for seeing several of my ex-boyfriends and reveling in their loser-dom, then crumpling in a sobbing ball of emotional breakdown, realizing that the same fate had been bestowed upon me. It was a sad, sad period of an extra 30 pounds, too many boxes of Butterscotch Krimpets and a couple fifths of Jack Daniels. One that I hope NEVER to repeat. I’m not naive to the positive points of these dating sites — having a set of really good friends who met this way; it just never worked for ME.

As my memory serves, I am reminded of the two time periods in which I signed up to use Match.com (before and after the Fiance, ironically). The same douchy matches were trolling the site in both of those eras, in hopes of, well, not dating at all. I mean, the SAME exact guys, with the same exact profiles — not even an updated photo. And yes, the ex-boyfriends are still there. In all, I consider online match-making a completely insane (not to mention time-consuming) experience.

Especially that other lame ass site that shall not be named and wouldn’t even approve me as a member. Hah. Like there’s something wrong with me.

Be that as it may, I’m curious as to the best online dating sites out there today. No, I’m not single. I have been asked for “help” by a somewhat social introvert, regardless of my instructions to consider another outlet. So, consider this a little experiment and a personal favor for a “friend.”

Unless there is a specialized site for sexy ladies looking for hot couples, then I’m all over that.
