I have a suggestion.

Some dating show was on in the background and I happened to catch this: out of the four guys behind the curtain, only one was short and he also said he was an accomplished chef, in addition to his regular job which I can't remember what it was, but it was some type of business exec job.

The short guy with the great cooking skills got the date, and overwhelmingly so. Not only was he chosen by the woman, but there was some type of panel of other women and they all wanted him, too.

Now, you've all heard the expression a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so this appears to be true for women, too.

on edit:

everybody tells me that this (computer dating) is how young people date now but I have to wonder whatever happened to meeting people at all these huge gatherings they go to.

Last week a friend and I were having dinner in a town with an active downtown night life and there were small groups of young women and men walking around (women in a group, men in a group). You have to think they're out looking.
