The service went out of business after it was revealed that every Friday, the dating service staff would get together for drinks and watch the videos to mock the “losers” that came in that week. posted by SPrintF at 9:02 AM on [6 favorites]

My current girlfriend I and met via Bumble, the online dating App, where she had an interesting ad that indicated she was my type personality wise, along with photos that I found attractive

My wife of 20 years and I met via a personals ad she put up in the Baltimore City Paper, back in 1996.

I read it, thought it sounded interesting, called the number in the ad and left a message, including one where i left my number. She called me, introduced herself, we talked two or three times, then decided to meet up.

I went to her house to pick her up, where her entire inner circle of family and friends were playing cards, obviously so they could physically see me, my car, and get a general read on me. We were together about 25 years, married for 20, before she passed away.
