Congrats! 10+ years is nice.

At the same time I was using online dating site. It helped to accelerate the search and filter candidates. I could save time rejecting illiterate and/or less clever girls. Think about Google maps and real estate search - you don’t want a house on the highway.

I wouldn’t use that today. Full of fake profiles to lure paying customers and to keep them as long as they can. Free subscription is not existing anymore.

You don't even realize how objectifying your wording is, do you?
Whether you like it or not, the dating game is fundamentally built on the objectification of others. It sucks, but pretending that's not the case doesn't change the reality of it.

We're animals. We're programmed to want to bang attractive people.

Selecting for intelligence/education/creativity is objectifying? Boy that’s a new one.
Picking a partner is not pink fall in love story. It’s a hard work for many years. To have later much more happy years together.
Intellectual compatibility is a fair goal in a relationship
