Match of the day

I'm not sure how useful this system is. For those of you completely in the dark about match.com, the creators have devised a system whereby on a near daily basis they somehow pick, according to similarities in interests etc, a list of 5 potential matches.



I find this system useless.



Reasons for the matches, you get quotes like,

Like you, he's a night owl



Like you, he wants kids some day



Like you, he doesn't smoke

Great.. thats all we have in common? Oh, yes, there is also geographic region.. but seriously, I don't think I've ever even had a mutual communication with any of my match of the days. In my first few days of match I thought it was a great system and winked or even emailed a few, but due to lack of responses from those i'm vaguely interested in, I think its fairly pointless. Plus plenty of these people have no pictures. No pictures usually equals something to hide. If you're taking this seriously.. display yourself! Having discussed this with someone else, people worry about anonyminity.. ie, someone spotting them on match and then taking the piss out of them. Possible.. but they would only be able to see you if they were on match themselves.. and they pay money to do that. That's a lot of effort really..

So back to match of the day... you scroll through your selected matches, then pick 'yes', 'no' and 'maybe'.They are then put into a list, and the site encourages you to contact your yesses. Is it truly a successful way of meeting someone on match or have i just had a poor experience? Let me know..
