Well…maybe I can at least find out if there are likely men
in the area. That’s my first thought, as another commercial comes on featuring
a smiling couple who met online. Let’s face it. It’s Friday night, and I am
alone at home watching a Seinfeld marathon. Besides, the online site is having
a free trial period. If I’m quick, I can snag a man without even joining.
That’s my plan…along with several thousand plus other people.
According to the US Census, there are more single adults in
the United States than married people. With those type of numbers, why be alone
on Friday night? I do wonder if they counted the men in prison, mental
institutions, and on life support. If so, that actually decreases the numbers,
but still I grab the laptop. I know the drill. I’m no online dating novice.
Those photos when you initially open the site of people in your city do not
live in your city. I haven’t seen them
anywhere.
The smooth-faced males with soulful eyes, garbed in tailored
clothing would stand out among the grizzled, tired men in NASCAR jackets in my
town. I did see them on the promos for various other dating sites. That’s
because the smaller sites are interconnected. You might sign up with
Hottiesbeus.com and suddenly you are receiving mail and offers from
maturehotties.com and singlehotties.com. (I made up the names, but they might
become real sites.) The joining fee is only about thirty dollars to join the
initial group, but you only receive a few appropriate matches. There is the thought
of joining another add-on group to increase your odds. Resist. You pay for the
same pool of men. The big companies who can afford commercials offer you more
possibilities.
Knowing what I know, I signed up with the granddaddy of
dating sites for my free trial. I have ten days—that sounds like a lot, but it
isn’t.
