Like I said, Online Dating Sucks

A couple months ago I wrote a post on online dating and how I don't believe it as a system that truly helps in matching you with the right person. Looks like I'm not the only one. Doctor Dan Ariely did a study on online dating and found out that on average people spend over 6 hours online for the possibility of coffee. The problem is the attributes that we list and require are not true signs of compatibility or even real gauges of what we are truly looking for, even if we don't know it.  It's an interesting argument about a social system that is becoming the norm. Does it really work?
