Online Dating

I'm afraid to see what my most searched Google term is

 

I just use Plenty of Fish and OKCupid which are free but never really had any luck with them

 

noone wanna be my online bf/gf and tell they friends

 

I remember your pic when it was here...unless you've really changed since then, you're no bull dyke that's for sure.

 

only one person thinks so

 

Online dating was fun when I was single. To my surprise, I met some really nice ladies. The only thing that sucked is that they lived out of town, and it was a road trip or plane ride, but well worth it. I never paid for upgrades or anything crazy like that, and I could see through all that bullshit. I know they want to make their money as well, but once again, it's another bullshit form of control we can do without.

 

it's rediculous to assume that the girl of your dreams, or boy, live in the same area as you. out of the whole world that kindred spirit manages to live in your shitty town or you went school with them? i don't buy that. i think online branches out to more special compatible people, but you have to make the effort.. and you have to be like, where you live now, what you do, is it worth the loneliness? if it's not, go see him/her and get confident to change your whole life.

I believe theres a guy/girl out there for every guy/girl, but you arent going to find them in your city, at your school, work or anything. it's just so unrealistic to me. i moved half way across world to find someone i clicked with, and i didnt even think the possibility of ever falling for a girl and becoming a lesbian, but it happened. my life would be so different if that never happened, and I'm glad it did

 

i'm too lazy with relationships; if you don't live within a convenient distance, you're not the one for me. of course, it helps that i don't believe in the whole "one perfect person" thing either.

i do agree with this though, just because women here kind of suck.

 

There are most likely plenty of women in your area you never meet or even see. So you can never be 100% sure!

 

It's always going to be tough for a man to meet a good women online in my opinion. It can be done but women don't need the internet. If they are pretty and nice then all they have to do is go out in public. Men sometimes forget that since women do not usualy approach us. We also forget that women get dozens of messages on a dating site weekly. Mating is competitive in nature.

 

it's a relatively low population, so that does make the ones i have met a higher percentage of the total.

 

I tried a couple of sites and all of them you have to upgrade and pay a monthly fee to read messages. I think most of the messages are generated by the dating site to get you to pay to read the message from the girl. Once you respond then you don't get any answer back. One site I got a lot of messages from interrested girls and they give you their pvt email address. Turns out they are cam girls and want you to pay and watch them perform.

Just a waste of money. If you are interested in a site google the site's name and review. You will then be able to read if it is worth joining or not

 

A lot of sites do that, swinging sites too they generate messages to get you to pay.

I guess in theory a pay site works, but at the same time of you're looking for a partner, then I don't know why you'd have a 12month subscription lol. Wouldn't you just be online for a month and you'd either meet someone or not. I can't see it taking 12 months. Adult sites are different as you're communicating with possible partners for years.

Proper chat rooms seem to have ceased to exist. I remember msn days they had lots of chat rooms and the usual crowd you got to know quite well. I've had many online friendship where I ended up meeting the person. chat is more fluent as well, a PM can be a daunting way to process and communicating.

 

Online dating works, it's just about finding the right website to use.
A lot of them are nothing but bullshit and hocus pocus when they flash around the freebie moniker, yet when you actually join, there's elements you can't access until you upgrade.

That being said, it isn't for everyone and if you do it, you have to commit to it. I met my partner in the online dating world and that was 6 years ago now so it does work.

 

what if you do it in june and your soulmate does it in september?

besides, it takes a long time to pick up a woman on a dating site. they all specify that they won't reply to a "hey" message, so you need to come up with a well thought out first message. that takes a little time. there's time to send a couple messages a day, for the normal person with a job and maybe somewhat of a life. that's only 730 messages a year. since women on online dating sites actually respond to about one out of a thousand messages, that means statistically it will probably take over a year just to get a reply from someone, let alone find a partner.

 

Tip #1 don't be such a negative Nancy.

 

M2M online dating is pretty easy, whether the responder is STR8,bi, or gay men just want to get off.

 

My girlfriend and I met online on a particular website. It is sometimes classified as a "dating site", but I think most users feel otherwise. I've tried a more blatantly advertised dating site that focuses on actual dating in the past and it just didn't work for me. But this particular site was different and it seemed at least to me like people were way more open to having conversations with you than on an actual dating site. I suppose this to be due to the general tone of the online community that focused on common interests rather than on dating itself.

Conversely, I know someone who married a fellow she met on an actual dating site, and as far as I know they are happy together. So I'd say it's all about compatibility regardless of how you meet people.

 

Compatibility, that's the most frequent word on a dating site advert.

 

Yeah, but adverts are just adverts and reality can be far from what they advertise. A really good friend of mine has tried dating sites but they haven't worked for him. I suggested the same website where I met my girlfriend on, but it might be a paid service now and thus I don't think he's made an attempt to become a member there. I've also suggested that he should look for an online community where the theme of the site is in line with his personal interests rather than focusing on the dating aspect only.

To be fair, though, dating sites have indeed worked for some people, so I'm not saying they are all completely useless.
