Internet Dating

Its amazing how putting out a profile creates a certain vibe. With just a few words and spelling mistakes (put me in that basket), it conveys a lot of info. Much more than the author anticipates. People try not to be generic to stand out; but then they stand out for the wrong reasons. (In my biased opinion anyway.) I wrote in a previous blog how questionnaires are very useful. It is only when people leave it blank that it creates uncertainty. Are they really open to anything, or do they have no opinion, so put nothing down. Which is worse?
My question is, based on the last month or two is, why are males with handlebar moustaches attracted to me? What is it in my photo that says "hey, I like moustaches'? Because it is a long way from the truth. Anyway, met a friend in person after Internet chatting for the first time. Have had long phone conversation with other people, but this was the first "flesh" meeting if you like. And the big question is always going to be, "does this person match their written word?". In this instance it was "yes". Good to know. Internet dating's not such a bad thing after all. Indeed Internet dating has a lot of potential...profile questionnaire anyone?
