The thing is if a person can't get a date for that many years, I am suggesting to make some changes: different sites or different age range or different profile etc et. telling him that whatever he is doing is awesome just isn't helpful.
Of course if people don't want to make any changes its fine. It just seems counterproductive to me

I think it's a tough scene out there, especially as we get older. Not to mention if you're off the beaten track/not as mainstream, that makes it tricky, too. I think different groups tend to focus on different sites, perhaps? For instance, I think OKC may appeal more to people who don't fit so neatly into the traditional categories. I've seen way more transgendered people on there than on any of the other sites, for instance.
I am actually close to Burnt's age, and of course I have a career as well. Yet I prefer the variety and quirkiness of the people on OKC because I am a quirky sort. I also like being able to message and see their information for free. I actually have a paid account, but I like that they don't force it on you. Few sites allow people that freedom anymore.
I really am being honest when I say that
I haven't seen anything yet that seems like it would be a problem for him. (It also depends on what sort of girl he's looking for, I think.) But he's here to get a variety of perspectives. Just having one wouldn't help him very much!
