Cosby Show’s Essence Atkins finds love… on Match.com

Internet dating sites have kind of a love/hate thing going on in modern society.

It seems most people either met their current other half there, have gotten burned on one, or think the internet is populated with serial killers and merely checking email will give us all social diseases. Sifting through the zillions of profiles on dating sites also could lead you to believe it’s slim pickings, but one guy got very, very lucky looking for internet love.

Like the supermodels in the TV spots for dating sites, actress Essence Atkins was too busy making mad cheddar and being hot to meet a man in real life. Atkins liked that she didn’t have to post a photo on Match.com, and since she could be all anonymous, she messaged a man named Jaime Mendez one Valentine’s Day.

According to Match.com, Atkins and Mendez had 97% compatability. And that may not have been too far off, because the pair is now engaged and plan to tie the knot on September 26th.

Girlfriend better be getting a sweet endorsement deal out of this.
