Who is on these online dating sites?
I went to the Apple store yesterday to upgrade my iPhone. The place was jam-packed, and the super-nice Apple guy helping me was looking for an available computer. "Excuse me," he said to a homeless-looking hippie dude who was typing an email on OKCupid, my second-favorite dating site. "Are you activating an iPhone?"
"Um, no," the dude grumbled, avoiding eye contact.
"Could I ask you to use one of the computers over there?" he asked sweetly, pointing to the other side of the store. "We try to keep these for iPhone activation only."
The dude mumbled something, then said, "Give me a second." He finished typing his email, logged out, and grudgingly picked up his things and walked to the other side of the store.
Maybe that's why I haven't been getting good matches through OKCupid lately: I don't rate well with the hippie homeless-looking types. Which, quite honestly, I'm fine with.

Ha! I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these guys are homeless, simply checking in to their free dating site from the library or Apple stores. Really, it’s not that difficult for anyone to get access to the Interwebs these days, so you never really know which slice of society you is presenting itself to you.
