Ah, you're approaching things from an Internet perspective. Certainly, pre-meeting someone on the 'net allows for the luxury of such an interview, meeting people in real life often does not. The obvious fact that one has no assurance of how accurate someone's online responses are and the problems inherent with overselection are matters for another post.
I guess we're old fashioned. While we've certainly played the "internet game," most (~80%) of our contacts as individuals and a couple are initiated via an initial real-world contact. At this point we only seek purely sexual contacts via the 'net, and that sparingly. There's no substitute for that initial spark of interest and that peculiar energy that comes with it. So many of the questions one might have for a potential internet date can be answered easily with a glance, a sniff or two, and brief in-person conversation.
Case in point: the young lady we've been seeing for almost two months now is someone we met in a bloody K-Mart. She had initially approached me (the ostensibly male part of the team) with questions on selecting a new razor for her husband. This led to a discussion about non-soap alternatives, alternative personal care in general, which eventually led to us extending a drinks invitation. To cut to the chase, she now spends 3-4 evenings a week with us and we're all having a fantastic time together both in and out of the bedroom.
If we were the type to make assumptions based on titles and/or labels, we'd have heard the word "husband" and missed out on a lot of good times with not only this person but many others. Our new friend may not have found out the many things she didn't know about herself as well. You don't often find such opportunities while handing out surveys on a personals site, you mostly just get people lying about their age and weight...
