Several long term relationships resulted until finally I met the one. Met my wife on OKcupid, the best concept for a dating site that there could be (check out their analytics).

So, for a single guy who would rather not be single, I'd say browsing profiles and creating an interesting profile is a good use of slack time. It was about 5 cumulative years of online dating before I found my last date.
Met my GF on OKC as well, long distance but we visit frequently, and I can't imagine having met anyone who is a better fit without the aid of that site.
