Well I got a whole different take on the subject...
The reality is simply this ,
There is too much choice!!!
We are taylor making our perfect people
we are asked what our perfect partner is ...
we are then presented with 76,000 choices...
so
we cull
& we get particular
we hone our preferances
where as initially its like
mmmm single 40 something & working would be nice
[and in all honesty if we bumped shoppingtrolleys with him we would be dating him now}but soon turns to;
mmmmm divorced or never married , no kids, tall full head of hair , no baggage at all,working but not a workaholic, social drinker, non smoker,good teeth, own a home not rent,sporty but not a fan,romantic , but not a sop,fit but not a gymjunkie etc etc etc
why why why?????
because the next person is yet a click away
& if that fails
there are 10,000 other sites exactly the same .....
