You pretty much cant delete your profiles from most dating sites. And despite my posts being four or five years old, I still get a few pings every day.

What I find most interesting is the ‘seasonality’ of interest. The minute the fall starts, I get quite a few (which I think is kids going back to school?). Christmas, New Years, and OMG Valentine’s day. There is also a peak in the late spring when everyone is tired of winter. I suppose I could go through my email history if it isn’t automatically deleted and do some stats on it. But it’s too obvious to bother with. In the summer, everyone is out and about and seeing opportunities whether real or not, in front of them every day.

Now, I met Amanda online. And I met my unnamed friend in NYC online, that if the world were a different place, I would probably consider the most likely soul-mate I could ever have. I met one woman I seriously regret not pursuing even though we spent a year on and off. And a number of others, both wonderful and tragic. But every other woman that I’ve had a durable relationship with I’ve met through friends, or social situations. (I met Veronika in a club. Which, at least for me happens here but never in the states. And it was in the fall: october )

Anyway, we humans are pretty interesting creatures. 🙂 Seasonality, or, the economy of relationship hunting, included. 🙂
