After yet another online dating catastrophe, Amy Webb was about to cancel her JDate membership when an epiphany struck: It was not that her standards were too high, as women are frequently told, but that she was not assessing the correct data in suitors' profiles.

A female journalist/digital media strategist's wry account of how she used mathematics, data analysis and spreadsheets to discover the love of her life. Time was running out for 30-something Webb, who desperately needed to get married and begin a family. So she followed the guidance of family and friends and tried online dating "to project an extremely wide net" and find "an ideal man." Regrettably, her computer matches were less than inspiring. Some blatantly misrepresented themselves; others were bores, dorks, egotists, mooches, sex fiends or married men on the make. Webb eventually comprehended that she wasn't getting better answers for two reasons: her own lack of specificity about what she desired in a potential spouse and the absence of a personal system to help her determine which matches would make great dates. She developed a list of 72 desirable characteristics, which she then boiled down to 25, ranked and numerically weighted according to importance. Webb then went to work revamping her online profile in order to get the most replies from the very best potential matches for her. To get the information she needed to do this, she created several profiles for fictional men with the features she sought. All of the females who responded appeared shallow, but Webb also saw that they were among the most popular with the most appealing and successful men. Subsequently she had a flash of insight: Regardless of their real-world accomplishments, "these women were approachable and looked easy to date." Armed with this particular knowledge, the writer recreated her online picture to advertise herself as "the hot-girl-next-door" rather than a competitive, neurosis-stricken workaholic. Ultimately, she got her man, "a storybook wedding" and the longed for child. However, some readers may wonder in what way the matters Webb "discovers" around successful dating through her research could have eluded her in the very first place. Nice, geeky fun.

It did not start out so badly. My buddy Jenna came over on a Wednesday night, because it was February first, and we decided that something like this should occur on a first day of the month. We poured ourselves glasses of wine and set about describing ourselves in the finest, most attractive, most unique, most interesting ways we possibly could. We were truthful, though. Mainly. I mean, yes, technically I'm five-eleven and also a half, but I'm not going to round up to six feet online, am I? Is this what guys are thinking when they list their heights as five-ten even though you know, in your heart, that they're five-seven? But in inverse? Goddammit. Backpage Escorts in Rosalind, Alberta. This is the reason why online dating is terrible.

But that first night was excellent. I had myself signed in to chat accidentally, because I didn't even realize it was there. When a small message popped right up in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen saying Hello, tall girl," I shouted. I checked out the profile of the man who had messaged me---tall, dorky, kind of funny---and though I did not locate him all that attractive, I impulsively decided to chat with him anyhow. He was a boy who needed to speak to me! On the first day of online dating, that's sort of all you really desire. I honestly don't even know what we talked about.

I actually believe it makes me decidedly un-special, because to many of the messages' writers I was certainly no more than one more female-looking thing who might be intrigued by the dashing brevity of a message reading just sup?" Everyone was always telling me that, if nothing else, having an online dating profile will be a confidence booster due to all the flattering messages I'd receive.

Look, I understand it's not easy out there for men, either. (Isn't it? I believe it actually could be. Easier, anyway. Less horrifying.)

So I'm not sorry. I am, however, interested in the betterment of humankind. I'm interested in historical records on a few of the most pressing matters of our time. I'm interested in the group and evaluation of little catastrophes. So I've thought of a couple groups of messages that you're apt to receive if you find yourself being simultaneously female and in possession of an online dating profile. May God have mercy on our souls, and may whoever devised the backhanded compliment as flirting strategy (curse you, popular MTV pickup artist Mystery!) be slowly roasted in a stew of his own fedoras, watched over by the legions of women who need to make an effort to figure out why this individual who ostensibly wants to date them just called them pretty but not in an intimidating way."
