Millions Man

by webteam, 06-19-2007

When British journalist Sean Thomas was assigned to try Internet dating for a magazine cover story, he was skeptical. Fast-forward 10 months: he's dated the likes of Lizziegirl, Bongowoman, and Lovemelovemycat while grappling with a slight online-porn addiction and the obsessive adoration of Chinalady5, who thinks he looks just like "Jem Bond." Williams's adventures are documented in Millions of Women are Waiting to Meet You (Da Capo Press, 2007; $24), a bit of chick lit for the masculine set. And while Thomas's Brit-speak might initially throw readers off, his experiences and insights into the online-dating phenomenon are perfectly translated for the lovelorn, thirtysomething Boston crowd.
