LanceArthur: Becoming Dated
Was reading "OK/Cancel", a usability blog, a few minutes ago and came across a good comment from another individual. Since I was intrigued by his comment, I followed his link to his site to find more interesting content. Atop that blog was a quick list of links to friends, which is exactly where I came across the link to "Becoming Dated".
Lance Arthur, a San Francico resident, and self-proclaimed "hater" of the Online Dating scene provides a lengthy account of his transition from to a "believer" in the Digital Date and the truths that made it all possible. As Lance puts it:
Lately, the nightmare of Online Dating has turned into rather the opposite. Suddenly, guys—and these are nice, normal, well-adjusted, attractive, healthy guys—are coming out of the woodwork and dating me. I changed a few things around about my attitude and my ad, and so far it's all working out swimmingly.
Since I previously derided the entire Online Dating scene as being for losers and ne'er-do-wells, I thought it only prudent to amend some of my comments and pass on what I have learned about successfully diving into the world of online relationships.
I thought it was great to read someone's experiences in this area and to see how insightful that knowledge gained from the trenches really can be. Read it all!
I'm never mazed at how seemingly random connections are made on the web.
