I'm No Hitch.

One of my friends recently joined eharmony--"accidentally."  I'm not sure how that really happens, but apparently a few curious clicks later they welcome you to the club.   All of a sudden her dating life has taken off,  with me adding my very unofficial quips to the side.  She's doing the communication on her own, but once in a while she'll have me log into her account to check these guys out.  Somehow it doesn't feel right to be logged in as her.  But I feel a responsibility to help her since she's my friend and she asked.  I can't get over the possibility that all these guys are creeps, even if they boast PhD's, MD's, and MBA's.  Don't give me any flak about that.  I know that plenty of genuine, outstanding people join.  And if you're one such person, kudos.

I do know that it takes some amount of work to manage all the communication with these potential "matches," and that's a real turn-off for me.  My friend accidentally addressed one of her messages to the wrong guy.  Oops.  And if there's a case for being set-up by friends as a better alternative,  here it is.  Don't read more into that than you should :)
