couple is actually going to get married." Advertisements, some
say, are in need of regulation. "These companies should be following
the FTC guidelines for advertising," said Glenn Hutchinson, also of
WeAttract.com. "If they're really prominently showing couples that have
gotten married through their site, then they need to be very candid
about how frequently that occurs and how many users actually find those
happy marriages." Many Web sites do not share success rates. FULL ARTICLE @ NBC5

Online dating holds great promise. The sites that deliver will
prosper. The sites that do not will pull the rest of us
down. Most sites do deliver. The industry just needs to do
a better job of reporting success stories.
