You cannot - it is like wanting to skip the part of chopping the vegetables and expecting to just enjoy the cooked meal. Does not work this way. Online dating is worse than cooking because in cooking at least you know that by chopping and sauteing the right vegetables for the right amount of time you will get the right meal, but online dating is probabilistic and nothing is guaranteed.
I have spent the same amount of time online dating as you have. I have seen nice guys but so far nobody I would seriously want to date. So I would keep looking. Say, today - a guy wrote a book about Perl, a programming language. And, that describes him. He is so nerdy, so geeky, so incredibly geeky, that his other wonderful qualities (he is my age, has a good salary and I know his place of employment well, he is even studying my native language, he is into open relationships so he would not be jealous of a couple other partners I have, he is obviously well educated, etc. etc.) are not good enough. Do not outweigh the nerdiness. He was very very interested in continuing to see each other, but I am not sure because there is only that much nerdiness that I can tolerate and that is it. Sorry. So will have to look further. I, too, am already tired after two weeks. In terms of pictures - of three people who looked me up, all three wanted a second date, so the pictures must be true enough.
