I feel so lucky, I found my wife just as the advent of online dating was upon us. I don't know that I would've faired well in the tinder and hook up culture. I gained a bunch of weight working in a call center with an in house cafeteria, I have a hairline that makes me look 10 years older than I am, hate bars/clubs, and make awkward first impressions when my wife isn't there to be my better half. So glad I don't have to deal with all that.

Christopher Ryan - who the article mentions - also did a brief interview on harmontown (warning: autoplaying audio); found him quite interesting.

I watch my friends in this world. Believe it or not, once you're through the first couple-three dates the process is identical.
