Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Vitzthum has left no stone unturned in the world of online dating, from her love/hate relationship with the hipster-oriented Nerve.com to the facts behind the "science" of matching sites like eHarmony.com and Match.com and the musings of a charming, well-educated, British Craigslist addict. While the book contains both fairy tales and horror stories, Vitzthum's case studies and interviews fall somewhere in the middle, a reflection of her own ambivalence about this world of "people-shoppers." More of a meditation than a guide, this volume combines research and the author's personal experiences into a genuinely funny and informative read. (Feb. 1)

Product Description
In this savvy guide to a fascinating new world, former sex columnist Virginia Vitzthum goes underground to navigate the meanings and mores of sex and love on the Web. Using interviews, anecdotes, and her own experience with online dating, Vitzthum builds an animated and irreverent narrative about modern intimacy. How does the path of a relationship change when it starts with a profile? What do we reveal about ourselves--our personal lives and our private preferences--when we look for love online? Who are the people who actually manage to find happy relationships by trolling the Web? Success stories, sociopaths, and fearing the face to face meeting, Vitzthum is an entertaining decoder of online culture, under all of which lies the question: What does the Internet do to human relationships? A compassionate voyeur, Vitzthum approaches her fellow online daters with an open curiosity that makes her the perfect guide.
