   Even before computers people would meet each other for dates without ever seeing each other. The lonely hearts column in news papers would advertise people looking for a mate, etc…

   The people who are so concerned about dating sites don’t have a full understand of the history of dating.

   Does anyone remember the part in Harold and Maude where Harold scares off all the girls from the dating service that his mom enters him in?

   The Computer Dating Services were the punchlines of countless, literally countless, jokes on game shows and Laugh-In and Mad Magazine in the early 1970s. I remember watching something on TV about the Computer Dating Service where they talked about it starting in 1966.

   In junior high school, which for me was around 1979, we had a computer dating service fundraiser that had really dumb questions like, what kind of movies do you like or what kind of music do you like. And many people literally had no match (for instance, girls who liked heavy metal and slasher movies were in short supply at age 12). But people who liked “rock” and “comedies” were not, nor were they specific enough to matter.

   I had thought that people were being ironic when they spoke like that, all 70’s. I had no idea that was really the way people spoke. I thought cocaine didn’t become popular until the 80’s.
