its actually the other way around...1 dog yr. == 7 human yrs. anyway back to the topic...i also think fresinha has an interesting point. companies wouldn't be spending millions of dollars on something that was totally useless. that said, it doesn't mean that dating services work...obviously these corporations are not in it to see that you as a person find your ideal soulmate and will live a happy life with them without ever getting divorced, all they care abt is that you keep renewing your monthly subscription and keep looking! so when you come to think of it, it's against their interest that you'd actually find any one 'mate'...they'd rather have you keep looking for mates, which is why adultfriendfinder is so damn successful!! btw, in california alone, there's sumthing like 50,000 registered female members and over 650,000 registered male members...so if you're a guy looking to get lucky, the odds are definitely against you. i for one still prefer meeting chix in person...there's just something abt the thrill of walking up to a hot bitch and getting her number...calling her and then getting closer...stuff that i could never get online!
