MIAMI HERALD — Apr 13 — When I found myself back in the dating game, the online choices were overwhelming. Which service should I use? Friends had different opinions, debating the finer points of Match.com vs. eHarmony. No, try AmericanSingles, one would say. Or PlentyofFish, it's free. What about Yahoo personals or MySpace? Nearly every woman 25-to-33 was searching for someone with 22 qualities that must be met. I realized how deceptive profiles can be. Why do we try and be something we are not when trying to attract potential dates? There's no hiding when you finally meet in person.
