back in the early days of okcupid, my top two suggested matches were my first girlfriend and another girl who I had been friends with for years and had already been on a date with before either of us signed up. It was pretty remarkable. And this was when they didn't have anything like a social graph.

I married my #2 world match on okc. We were together for 10 years. Separated amicably and are still great friends.

I've now been with someone I met my second day on pof after being stalked on okc by an ex I met irl. I preceded to message with over 100 individuals on pof and met more than a dozen of them in person. Better than 80% of them had lied in their profiles in some way or another.

I focused on the most honest and compatible one. I fall more in love every day of the 2 years we've been together.

Online dating works. It's hard. But it works.
