techy, your decision to stay with your spouse is a wise one. I will refrain from going into deep analysis of internet dating or dating after 40, while an entertaining topic, not one for the primarily married demographic here, perhaps that will be the topic of my first book. Time/cnn reports that a 50 y/o woman has an 8% chance of remarrying in her lifetime and since they buy the vast majority of the books, I think a tell all book by a dashing and entertaining single, middle aged author is a good business model. I’ll give it some thought. But writing for money is still beneath me, hopefully not for too long.
to answer your questions/respond to your observations”
1) they are all crazy
2) most of them are crazy
3) all crazy
4) this is the most likely place to find a good one, but far from a guarantee, 50% crazy.
5) super crazy and delusional
The only normal ones I’ve met, including the current g/f who is the most normal I’ve met, were chance encounters in person.
While online profiles may look promising, it’s mostly bad data, so any analysis is flawed. However I do know of a few people who have met their mate online, there are exceptions to every rule, then again someone wins the lottery every week or so.
The funniest observation I have is if you look at what they are all looking for, it is the same guy, regardless of their height, they want a guy six feet tall, who loves kids, walking on the beach (who does that?), never cheats, doesn’t smoke, never watches sports or porn, barely drinks, makes lots of money, has no friends to compete with her, is educated, has all his hair and works out daily. I hate to break it to them but they are all fighting over the same guy and he’s gay.
