I've to push back on Keisha a bit here. most of the frustration with dating profiles traces back to whether it actually works. The honest tradeoff with dating profiles are the success side against convenience.

What I actually do about dating profiles:

  • give it a full month before deciding anything about dating profiles
  • plan for three weeks before deciding anything about dating profiles
  • give it a solid month before deciding anything about dating profiles

I judge dating profiles almost entirely on how often it goes somewhere now.
