Matchmaking on the Web
December 24, 2006

Several visitors to www.drleons.com over the past year wrote in to ask my opinion on Internet dating. My common sense reply is always: why does a loser think he or she will find a “soul-mate” on the Internet when that same loser can’t attract anyone face-to-face?

The simple reason is deception. Just as it is with make-up, cosmetic surgery, padding in all the right places, doctored photos and friends who help friends compose email; anyone can be anyone else on the Internet. Even losers can pretend they’re winners on the Internet.

Why don’t we just call it what it really is? Internet dating and matchmaking are politically correct metaphors for either prostitution or immigration manipulation. The pimps in this equation are the Internet matchmaking services who extract exorbitant fees for “memberships.”

So who’s out there paying for memberships? Start with a large population of elderly (we’re talking age 60 and up) men seeking much younger women. Add a significant smattering of younger women (we’re talking ages 14-21) who enjoy teasing the older men, but would never dare to actually meet one face-to-face.

Mix in the enormous population of women of every age from every conceivable country outside of the U.S., who have AIDS, children out of wedlock, mental disorders, mountains of debt, physical disabilities or other problems; who are seeking a well-positioned American male to take care of their problems. Can you see who we’re dealing with here?

Don’t forget the sexual deviants either. If one of them can deceive you in a bar, it is infinitely easier to do it on the Internet in a dating service. Nothing is more humorous to me than an age 66 male in an online dating service suddenly discovering that the 22-year old woman he’s been corresponding with for 11 months is really a 47-year old woman with incontinence problems and two children ages 23 and 27 living with her at home in the trailer park.

People need to get real. If a man wants sex with lots of young women, he should save up a little money and take a vacation in Los Angeles. If an older woman wants to make it with a younger man; there are all sorts of escort services that get right to the point. Why waste time and money with a dating service on the Internet?

I know I’ll get hundreds of letters telling me I’m full of it on this one. Well, if you decide to write me, please attach a scanned copy of your marriage certificate and some type of proof that you met your spouse using an Internet dating service. In return, I’ll publish a special page at this site that lists your names and runs a count-down clock for the probable divorce date. If you survive past the statistically calculated divorce date, I suppose I’ll have to spring for a nice dinner for you.

In the meantime, I refuse to change my negative opinion of Internet dating services until a young lady of... lets say... 25-30, height 68-72 inches; weight between 115 and 145 (depending on height), knock-dead gorgeous; no kids, never had kids, financially independent, non-smoking, and looking like Britney Spears knocks on my door; says she’s been searching for a soul-mate all of her life; saw me on the Internet and believes I’m that person; is willing to beta-test a relationship for a few years and go from there...

When that happens; I might just change my mind about Internet dating. Wait... I know I said (looks like) Britney Spears, but the lady I devote all my attention to must have “real” breasts, common sense, self-control and some type of talent.
