Where is the best legit Internet dating site in your opinion?

I got this question in my inbox this morning:

Where is the best legit Internet dating site in your opinion?

Ahhh. It was nice to have something short and sweet to answer for once.

My knee-jerk answer is that the best legit Internet dating site is wherever you are able to do the following:

1) Construct a good profile

2) Follow through and really WORK it

3) Maintain a healthy attitude



And number 3 is probably the most important.

You see, your attitude is the one thing that will make or break any endeavor, and doubly so for online dating. The reality is that the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) is just as true here as anywhere else. 80 percent of the women you come in contact with (probably more, but don't lose hope yet) online dating will NOT be the ones you want or desire. Perhaps 5% will be a quality candidate.

This is for a bunch of reasons:

- Pictures that aren't accurate (Chemistry is off)
- Profiles that aren't accurate (Compatibility is off)
- The "X" factor (unpredictable things that prevent you from hitting it off)

And even more reasons like:
- Couldn't get a date setup due to our weird schedules
- Lots of phone tag, and by the time we did talk, she'd met someone else
- Yadda
- Yadda
- Yadda

So while you're working through the numbers to find that small percentage that suit you, keep in mind that you will get frustrated and want to blame the online system. It's easy to quit, but it's character that will make you persist.

I have had a lot of success online dating. Primarily because I never use ONLY online dating to meet women.

You must leverage multiple avenues to find someone, because you cannot predict where she will show up in your life.

Not to mention all the fringe benefits of the experience you get going out on all those "first meetings."

To sum it up, if you keep a healthy attitude about it, you can work almost ANY online dating system.

They all have pros and cons, and you simply have to find one that accommodates the way you want to approach it.
