Discontent

Into this discontent, Operation Match has come to make meeting others easy. No more fears about those awkward first moments. A subscriber to Match knows, before he goes to the telephone, that the name printed on the Ibm card in his hand will be someone as eager to meet him as he is to meet her.

One American student of economics, an active client of Operation Match, puts it this way: "The essence of the service is one of economic efficiency—that is, in the dating markets there are both mands and supplies of [unclear: p] who, due to lack of [unclear: mo] and imperfect informal never get together."

However, the strength Operation Match comes [unclear: f] even greater streams—[unclear: f] tudes embedded deep in American ethos. First, then a satisfying democracy a the whole thing: each [unclear: s] scriber, no matter how [unclear: ugl] beautiful, stupid or [unclear: smart] assured of five dates. [unclear: At] on paper, no one gets [unclear: a] ter deal than anyone else, fact, there is even [unclear: a] question on the Match which politely [unclear: in] whether you would be [unclear: w] to contact more than names. Thus each can comfortable in the [unclear: kno] that if he gets his five [unclear: na] and his buddy gets [unclear: seven] it is onlv because the fri evidently feels he [unclear: can] with such abundance.
