Internet Dating
Kevin: I know a lot of people are doing it, but I’m not so sure about trying an Internet dating service.
Eun: What do you have to lose? This website says that it Screens all of its members. Let’s look at some of the Profiles.
Kevin: All right. We have to select the Criteria for a Search. Let’s see…gender – “female”; location – “Los Angeles”; Age range – “26 to 35.”
Eun: Wow, you got 243 Hits. I think you’d better Narrow down the search criteria.
Kevin: Okay, I’ll search for people who live within a 50-mile Radius. That gives us 72 hits.
Eun: Click on that one. Let’s see. This woman is 29 and she’s an accountant. She’s very pretty.
Kevin: Do you think people would upload any photos that weren’t Flattering?
Eun: Still, I think she’s Promising, don’t you? Anyway, who doesn’t tell a few White lies in their dating profile? It’s not like you’re Misrepresenting yourself. If you sign up for a Trial membership, you’ll have to do the same thing.
Kevin: Will I? What will I need to lie about?
Eun: Nothing, nothing. You’re perfect just the way you are.
