Love connection sites have two flaws that are very apparent to me. Firstly, they cost money, marginalizing the less wealthy in regards to one of a human’s very important needs, the need to find a partner. Secondly as there are multiple sites it is easy for a person looking to miss a person who might fit the proper criteria. A searching individual could access every available love connections site but that brings us back to the first problem-the cost…and oh what a waste of time!…Time that could be better spent cuddling or doing other things with a compatible person.

If there was one interconnected instant messaging community, paid for by advertising, such as I explained in another Half Bakery posting, then the infrastructure would already exist…All that would be necessary is an I’m Single Flag.

If you are single and you chose to let it be known in the internet community you could (virtually) raise your I’m Single Flag. There should be six variations of the flag: Whether the person is heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual coupled with the person’s sex (3x2=6). Any other specifics would be covered by an extensive profile system that would also need to be compatible with the different IM systems. A search engine would be available for anyone to use for free to search based on certain criteria for the right mate.

For some, being single…being lonely, is a personal hell. There are, I’m sure, many cases of two people being lonely who wouldn’t be if they could just find each other. A ubiquitous system for matching single people is in the realm of man’s present abilities.
