Book excerpt: Virtually every online dater has experienced it: You've chosen your best photos, written a profile, and willingly handed over your credit card information, but instead of finding Mr. Right, or even Mr. Asks-You-Out-to-Dinner, you've been reduced to a face on a screen, piped into strangers' homes and at the mercy of their comments. Suddenly things that people would never say to someone out at a happy hour, in line for coffee, and certainly not at work, are suddenly filling your inbox at all hours of the day and night. For all its reasonable distance and anonymity, online dating gets pretty personal, and not in a romantic way. You're on the verge of giving up, but then how are you supposed to meet anyone? You can't analog date in a digital world. Well, Unweds of the Web, Unite! Using razor sharp wit and unforgiving satire, author Charlye McMillan confronts some the most notorious digital dating horrors- from cheesy pickup lines and bad photos to sleazy emails and sexting- in 'The Online Dating Manifesto.'
