John Matlock Said: A Complete How-To book ( Sep. 9th 2005 )

A male, Terry Ulick, and a female, Alyssa Wodtke have both tried matchmaking through the online dating web sites. Terry reports that he has found his true love online, Alyssa is still looking.

The web is perhaps the most significant change in communications since the invention of the printing press. And to move to match making is a logical use of these communications capability. The Internet expands your horizons beyond the local bar, or church, or any other social group that you might use to meet people.

First talking about the general rules, the authors move on to the mechanics of selecting and then using these sites. Let's face it, there are some commonly understood rules about making yourself as attractive as possible over the web without telling lies. As the story goes: 'She wants Tom Cruise, but she's no Nicole Kidman.'

The mechanics here include how to show yourself best in a picture, what to put in the written summary, how to phrase your first e-mail, and how to keep out of trouble -- the web is pretty wide open , how to proceed from just communicating online to gathering your heart in your throat and having that first meeting.

W Boudville Said: improves the odds ( Aug. 5th 2005 )

When the dot com bubble burst in 2000, one of the few, consistently profitable sectors that remained was online dating. The biological imperative to um, you know, kept those websites well visited. Match.com, date.com and a whole slew of others.

Now, Ulick and Wodtke offer a guide to the uncertain newbie. Who might be considering patronising one of those sites, but is understandably wary. Indeed, well you should be, as pointed out by the authors. There is a potential bad side to this phenomenon. They explain how to take sensible and easy precautions to minimise your risk.

But there is a broader and more optimistic theme to the book. Namely that online dating can [might, maybe] increase your chances of finding a compatible person. Sure, people can lie online. But that also happens in personal ads of newspapers, and in face to face meetings.

Online dating can let you expand vastly the pool of people; far beyond your personal acquaintances. And to do comprehensive filtering on their preferences and yours to improve the odds.
