What looks amazing from the outside might be quite stressful from the inside, and vice-versa. I think we aren't able to predict a relationship before we experience it because each person adapts to the other, and the result is undetermined before the process starts. A person becomes changed in a relation, we can't predict even how we are going to be, let alone the significant other. That has been my experience - I'm rather pessimistic at dating services being able to match people up. It's more of a game of chance.

Astute observations.

However, do dating services ever do consistently better than chance (whatever chance means in such situations)? Plenty of Fish IIRC used to publish lots of stats.
