Interesting you say that: I was very surprised by the lack of internet usage in Australia (well, Melbourne anyway). It wasn't that the tech or connectivity wasn't there... but cafes never had wifis, and people didn't use the internet in the same as they do here. They didn't look up reviews online, for example... I worked for an italian restaurant and the phone number was wrong on the website... the boss didn't even seem to care!

It was a nice breath of fresh air: that old-fashioned "men are men" and "women are women" mentality in tech-usage form. On the other hand it's clearly coming, just a matter of time!

Weird, from what I've seen male friends who were fairly attractive (over 6 feet tall, blonde) would consistently land with girls that were one to three notches below what they would get "offline."

I've attempted to use dating sites on and off several times over the years and barely could get the attention of ugly women. In the end I found it amusing considering the girls I date tend to be models that have appeared in magazines starting with the letter P.

Like Pyramid[1]? Did you paint the models before you dated them? Did any of them leave you for a Space Marine? </sarcasm>

Please leave this chest-beating off of HN.

Let's pretend I wasn't happily married and the women I dated tended to be models.

Somehow I can't see myself using dating sites on and off several times over the years, trying to get the attention of women I thought were ugly.

Ah, thank god brother! I 'm so snowed under catching up with letters A-O here, i don't think i have time for P now.
