"If I wanted a decent nice girl to take home to mama I wouldn't be using okcupid or match.com or eharmony or even craigslist."

Do you realize that these sights encompass 10s of millions of people? What is your bar for "decent"?

I can only assume you would choose to use http://flowmingle.com instead.

True, but the facilitation of a relationship occurs much better in real life, no? As in, I meet girls and chat them up in real life before making the judgment call to date them or to continue a relationship with them.

And despite having advanced so far, there's a stigma with people using online dating services. Kind of the same with job hiring sites. Let's not forget that a lot of positions in companies are filled through connections and networking rather than applying blindly to job sites.

My point is that equating finding employees with finding a girlfriend is odd on so many levels. Most of which being that I really really really don't want to be caught playing third base with my hires.

"sights". Are we all going for the "Most grammar/spelling mistakes in a comments page" world record here?

He probably just prefers the real life/in person thing. Me too.
