Winnipeg, with its stable population and geographic isolation, looks like an interesting case study in scarcity vs. opportunity. For example, did you know Winnipeg has multiple speed dating services? Not bad for a city this size, but combined they only hold a few events per month. If you snooze, you lose. Latecomers may be forced to sit on the sidelines for several weeks for another chance to get back into the game.
Similarly, depending on your desired age range, the online personals services such as Yahoo Personals and Match.com can find hundreds of people, including a handful of prospects. Yet, wait a few weeks, and hot prospects will begin to cool off, due to not enough response, too much response, or what they perceive as a right response. The only way to avoid these types of missed opportunities is to get in the game and stay in the game.
Good luck! |
