What is the Best Internet Dating Service?
That doesn't cater to people in their 20's?

Some of the dating sites seem to attract the shallow and superficial - I am looking for a site that allows a little more substance to shine through. Any suggestions?

2. I used SpringStreet networks
Not sure what they're called now but their ads appear at Salon and similar sites. I replied to one ad. Marriage followed two years later. She's the woman of my dreams.

11. Wow - that is pretty amazing!
I am pretty lazy and don't like going out on a lot of dates - I would love to just find someone great right off the bat like that.

There are so many things I want to do - especially travel - that I am tired of doing alone. I really want a like minded companion to share experiences with. Especially now that all my friends are paired up, I am feeling a bit lonely and like "where the hell did everyone go?"

6. You know what they say: "A man without a strom door is like
a ship without a gazebo."

Also...better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
That's what I always say, anyway.
When I'm not saying the "man without a storm door" thing.

22. They all look about the same... and apparently their work ethic
is similarly lacking. You might have something there -- they could be related. However, the firing thing might be a little harsh, remember, tis the season and all 'o that. :party: (psst. i need a x-mas .gif)
