My experiences, and those of friends, seem to point to the 
dating services and personal ads as being just ONE of many ways to
meet others. Some of the services are better than others. There 
are several here in Central Ohio that have a VERY nice track record.
In general, The ratio of "matches" to "non-matches" seems to be about 
the same as any other way of meeting. The major difference between meeting 
someone through "computer matching" and meeting at, say, a party, 
is that with the former you find out all about their interests, likes,
job, physical stats, etc. first. With the latter, you immediately
find out if there's any "chemistry". With either method, you 
find out the other part later. Sometimes both are there, sometimes
not.
I find that meeting someone in person first works better for me.
I go to parties, singles dances and groups, AYH and Sierra club 
activities, church, etc. The only place I don't find women to
date seems to be at WORK! I find more than enough women to date and 
be friends with this way. Every now and then, I find someone special!
