So my anthropological investigation of on-line dates needs to come to and end.  Partly because I suck at it, and partly because to do it well would require hours and hours of time going through profiles and I have books and scripts to write, a horse to ride, friends to see, books to read, a house to tend, etc. etc.  In short I have a life, and this feels way more like work than anything else.  I need to find a new technique.
