However, I do not like OLD because I realized compatible people will come into your life naturally....
The appeal of online dating is in the negation of the above statement; namely, that compatible [single] people do NOT pass through one's "real life" experience naturally, whence it is necessary to resort to surrogate means. Those means tend to be "dating products" (as another poster in another thread titled them), such as speed-dating, matchmaker services, or online dating.
Physically-attractive people have the advantage of garnering more attention from potential candidate partners, and finding said partners to be more receptive if an approach is made. But if one's life simply does not intersect with enough such candidate partners, then the advantage of being attractive is rendered moot.
I know some good looking people who other good looking people are attracted too. They are just socially awkward. Or introverted. And just can't initiate conversations that other attractive people can. That's what makes them so successful at dating. They like people and aren't scared of them. Or maybe they are just lazy and don't want to go out.
Why would compatible people be any less likely to be present in a targeted online search than in randomly crossing one's path while going to the post office, say?

I look at online dating as blind dates pretty much. At least when you meet someone organically you can feel them out with conversation. I think you can gauge chemistry a lot better.
Hah. My parents met in a bar in 1971. Married since '72.
Connection with another is connection... could happen at a bus stop, nightclub, or Bar Mitzvah............
