Fishing for Love on the Net
Myles Reed, Jr.:  Well, I believe that as long as someone is dating online they will be in a position of learning something new.  I learned all throughout my more than six years online.  Some things were small in scope and others were more foundational.  I speak about many of them in Fishing for Love on the Net.  However, I would say by far, the biggest disservice I did to myself during my online dating process was me not knowing completely what I wanted in a mate and not staying committed to that criteria.  This resulted in me spending time with women who were not good matches for me and making compromises that ultimately never yielded the benefits that I was expecting.  This is why I recommend that before someone gets started with the online dating experience that they establish 3 to 5 ‘non-negotiable’ criteria that they must have in a mate.  Additionally, develop list of 7 to 10 criteria that is important in a mate but there is room to compromise. Doing this will go a long way that I understand how separate the wheat from the chaff.

Lauren Smith: What surprised you most about online dating? 

Myles Reed, Jr.: I was surprised that there was really a different culture to the online world.  It seems similar to the offline world.  There are people involved in the offline world and there are people involved with the online world.  It would be very reasonable to assume that the process of interacting with people is fairly similar.  However, the reality is that people behave materially different online.  Additionally, the technology impacts people’s experience in a way that cannot be found offline. I discovered this over my time online and capture these subtleties in Fishing for Love on the Net.
