The reality is that the people who remain single are not socially attuned, sometimes in ways that may not always be visible to people not dating them. I bet some of them could be found autistic (high-functioning kind). I'm a scientist and met my husband in the lab. A lot of men there were socially-challenged. He has ASD. My son has ASD. It takes a certain type of person to look past that. If my husband were to use OLD and go on dates, he wouldn't be able to find anyone. He's not social at all, but at the time I met him, he had good looks and fitness working for him, we shared scientific interests, and we met in person, which is very important to build a rapport with someone who isn't social.

When you start off with certain social challenges, sometimes a lifetime is not enough to meet your significant other. The statistics work against you, and OLD is a killer.

Yeah, my husband and I are pretty nerdy and we met at work.  When we started seeing all of this working from home stuff, our first thought was "Oh no, how will our kids ever meet anyone to marry?"  Working on a work project together is a great way to get to know someone, and as you point out, to look past the superficial stuff you see online.  (My husband would definitely have been the weird guy in the unflattering outfit posing with a big fish that he caught, if we had been the age for online dating.)[/quote]
