Plus I fairly regularly take classes that pertain to a hobby of mine. So I never put my life on hold and didn’t deny myself pleasures of life because I was on a dating site. It’s not like going on dating site means everything in life has to stop and put on hold. Life goes on.
I also certainly don’t consider it money thrown away either as it got me to meet my awesome husband.
Oh I also have to add that people often use online dating or other type of matchmaking because they are looking for a very specific criteria in a life long partner. It’s easier to set up that criteria online. My daughter recently met this nice guy online, she is looking for specific religious persuasion so looking online was the way to go (no single men of her age bracket in religious institution she attends). It was the same for the guy.

Oh, but it is for some of us. Who are you, Mrs. Howell the III?
I have a bachelors and 2 masters degrees but that doesn't mean I'm not in financial straits. I don't think you really take that into consideration when you should. Not everyone can afford to do both.
And to pish-posh those of us who can't, as though we are losers, is very short sighted I'm sorry to say. I don't appreciate your attitude that those who can't afford to do both, are losers because that's certainly what your posts imply. And it's simply not true at all!!!!!
