In case you're still wondering, yes, online dating is cool. I have been to so many weddings where the bride and groom met online that I have no doubt it's a great way to meet the love of your life. The old stigma of online dating is gone, but the practicalities of making it work still exist. Here are some common sense ideas to consider before you dive into the online dating pool.
1. Where to post your profile or look for potential dates
2. The Profile
You can be the greatest person on the planet, but if your profile or picture don't reflect who you are, you won't get a lot of potential dates.
3. The Picture
Pick out a good picture where you look happy. Don't go all ‘Glamour Shots' with a stuffy posed studio picture or too artsy with the sepia tones or the diffused glow. Avoid the raging party shot that shows you downing a beer bong with a Jagermeister chaser. And, keep all your clothes on unless you want regulars from ‘Candy's Love Shack' emailing you about a deep and meaningful relationship. Need help picking a good shot? Ask a friend, or submit two photos to thefacegame.com so strangers can tell you which they like best.
4. Safety
Now, go forth, date online, and fall in love!

Very well thought out commentary. Unfortunately I've done all that you mention here for the past year and have yet to get a single date from an online dating site. I am funny, average looking, successful man but for some unknown reason have been unable to break the online dating code. My experience (and discussion with women friends who also use these sites) shows me that women are extremely picky on these sites and refuse to accept someone that doesn't exactly meet their perfect example of a date. They go after the pretty boys versus the good picks. I am sure this works the same on the other side of the fence. If you could write an article discussing how the average guy gets a date on these dating sites that would be awesome.

This comment here states many admires want a date with Becky. I would also love to know if she visits Southern California often. Of course she may pray and get me a date also. There are many a sleepless nights I hear if they pray for a soul mate. The Video section of yahoo has some nice stuff on construction problems she may need a gadet or two to save the day with. Ray
