    arranged marriages work where the entire culture allows it.

    the US has too many cultures all mixed together to have a successful marriage market.

    there's definitely problems with our dating system. online dating sux for the most part, the bar scene sux, the inequality in awareness of biological clocks sux as well. women are forced into sperm banks to have kids while the guys sit in front of their HD tvs.

    meetup dot com is the way to go. you find your type of people by what you like to do, and the people are actually _doing_ the stuff, and not just bleating about it in their ads. It worked for me, and I've seen it work for others.
