When we talk about finding love, some people say it’s a matter of chemistry. But, it may actually be a matter of math. North Texas mathematicians have come up with complicated equations which are the driving force behind some online dating sites.

For Dallas couple Bryan Joyce and Megan Thrasher, cupid’s arrow hit pretty hard when they met last March.

“We pulled up in the parking lot at the same time and I remember seeing him, and there’s just always that instant connection,” said Thrasher.

The two actually met in cyber-space first on the relationship website Match.com.

“I had been on it six months or so before I came across her profile,” Joyce remembered.

Sounds promising, I tried typing in “nymphomaniac, classless slut who loves abortions” and Sandra Fluke’s name, phone and address keeps popping up.

Yeah, those Russian internet brides are pretty hot, but the shipping charges are horrendous.

this seems better than the old personals.

correspond by the system, then email, then phone, then in person.

As long as both parties use reasonable safety precautions and accept the other person will do the same then this seems like a reasonable process.

Mail order brides as always are a good way to filter out feminists.

"...and Sandra Fluke’s name, phone and address keeps popping up."

Really? I'm surprise you didn't get hits for Pelosi, Boxer, FienStien,...

No, those hags come up when you input “brain-dead, loves control, drinks blood”.

I'm 62 years old and was married to my first wife for 38 years bwfore we divorced. About a couple year after the divorce my daughter talked me into getting on match.com, put in my details and my likes and dislike's. I'm consrvative, I'm in the oil business and I like to hunt and fish, I drink whisky and I love to dance. All I can say is I wish I'd met the lady I met on match.com 40 years ago, we got married and are having a blast. She's much prettier than I am, and she can shoot and fish. I couldn't be happier.

Congratulations! You did well. It's wonderful to hear a story like this. Sounds like she really, really did well! It's extremely difficult for a woman that age to find a good conservative man who isn't already taken. God bless both of you.

Congratulations to you both for finding the spouse of your dreams!
