Date sites can work. But only for particular groups.

For instance: one of my female friends suffers from the "disorder" of high intelligence.
Most men she meets, are unable to handle that. Most men you would meet would not have an IQ close to 140, as she has. Of every 260 persons you would meet, 1 person has an IQ of 140 and above.
The fact that she found out, that most men are scared of a woman with a brain, made her chose for internet dating. And so far, it seems succesful.

If however you have an IQ of 100, and date within 10 IQ points, almost 50 percent of the people would qualify. Then this selection method is without much use.
