LONDON (AP) -- In the dating world, having too many options may leave you in the lonely hearts club.
British researchers analyzed speed dating to see if singles offered a wide variety of potential dates had a higher chance of meeting a partner. They didn't.
Researchers found that the more choices people had in potential dates, the more likely they were to end up on their own, according to the study published Wednesday in the British journal Biology Letters.
Experts analyzed the romantic decisions made by nearly 4,000 men and women at 84 speed dating events in the U.K., where single people had three minutes to talk to dozens of potential suitors.
They found people faced with a wide variety of partners - with different interests, jobs and physical traits - were more likely to choose no one at all.
People were also more likely to find a date if their prospective partners were more alike.

Whatever happened to going out with a guy because he is cute and has a porche?

Women always were attracted to men who own their own homes, be it with a veranda or a porche.
It was an even easier sell if there was Porsche in the garage.
maybe these people should try the way that works for a lot of people: have friends and family introduce you to people they think you might be good with.
