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.
