I'd say just look at it as another venue to possibly meet people..just one more avenue. A larger pool than your normal stomping grounds. To a degree it allows one to sit back, weed out some likes and dislikes, get a semi feel from where someone is coming from before you engage in phone conversations or dates etc. cuts out a bit of the leg work so to speak, and serve as a potential icebreaker. It may also give some men and women who are shy to take that chance or leap to engage someone.
