On Line Dating: Are we really that busy?

This morning, on my way to work, I was listening to XM Radio when an advertisement came on advertising an on line dating service for busy professionals.  The pitch was that they were too busy to get to know anyone, so the service had done all the heavy lifting for them.

Seriously?  Are people now so busy that they can't get to know anybody?

If that's true, that's a horrible sign of something seriously amiss in our society.  If people are now so busy, they can't even get to know a potential spouse in any sort of conventional way, our society is pretty much doomed.

People are busy, grant it.  But at some point certain things are like canaries in coal mines.  And if this is actually the case (and I hope its' not) its like a flock of canaries dropping dead all over the coal mine floor.
