Tim Ferris, author of Markus Frind’s favorite book, The Four Hour Workweek, decided to outsource his online dating to India last year. The takeaway? Online dating is a numbers game, simple subject lines work best, and make sure to rotate your photo.
Match.com has the most profiles but also the most competition. It’s good for short emails with direct subject lines. The social networking sites consumed more time but ultimately resulted in more dates.
I think this still holds true, but most people don’t want more dates, they want better quality prospects. Social networking sites do zero to filter people besides the usual zip code and age attributes.
