   I once belonged to a video dating club. It suffered from all the same
problems as trying to meet people through the net. For one, there weren't
enough women (why is this always the case? Isn't the population 50% female?
:-) For another, it was $75 for men and $10 for women. Psychologically,
I just hate feeling ripped off. Lastly, both times I actually met a woman
this way, she eventually told me she didn't believe we had enough in common
to have a friendship. Personally, I think that is a crock and was probably
a euphemism for something else (like "I don't find you attractive"), but that
isn't the point. The point is that it was a sufficiently unpleasant experience
that when my membership ran out I didn't renew.
