It is hit or miss, just the same as IRL.
I was doing online dating years before it was in fashion, which is why it has turned me completely off.
Lies, not being serious, wasting my time with their double lives... Because of them I became a detective and trust no one until it is earned.
It isn't for everyone.
I agree. I think 20 somethings will be more successful with it. Cause Santa Claus took the cake. He even had a big fat belly, that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. There's like a BILLION older people on there. But they be lying.
As I've aged and been around more and more people who are married with kids, I noticed they generally hang out with other married people. I used to get suggestions for men all the time when I was in my 20's, but that's basically dried up now. Also, I met my ex-husband through mutual friends and they all sang his praises. People often show a very different side once they think they have you locked down. I told a few of our mutual friends the things that happened in our house and they were agog. I can understand why some of them don't believe me because they ALL thought he was a great guy. I did too until I married him.
So.freakin.funny. Thanks for the laugh. So celebs and icons be online dating....
I don't want to date someone who I can't get references for. If we have a few mutual friends, then I can get a feel for the guy and his history from friends, but if he's a stranger, I have to learn through experience whether he's worth dating or not.
i have had generally an extremely positive experience. i dont understand the need to blame a bad dating history on online dating. if you arent any good at dating irl, meeting men online first isnt a magical cure for that
you mean like the guy who introduced his good female friend to a murederer who ended up killing her and her niece?
references lie.
A lot of liars and married men.
I met one guy that had a wife AND fiancée! HA!
I don't have any problem dating IRL, or dating guys from online either. Obviously attraction doesn't always happen, but no crazy/disrespectful stories.
I think if you're good at sifting for the right men IRL then you should be pretty fine online.
Out of all the messages I got all together I actually met up with maybe 0000.1% of them lol. Also on some dating sites I found more guys that were up to my standard than others. Tis all about the sifting skills IRL and online.
Sumra, which dating sites were better for you? Which ones weren't?
I didn't like POF (although I know some people have had success there). Most of the guys weren't my type. On top of that I got hundreds of "hi", and "how are you" messages. Just lazy. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot are playing around, or married as it can sometimes just seem like copy and paste.
I expect a man to sent me a well thought out introductory mail, referring to parts of my writing. I had the most luck in terms of quality, successful, attractive men on OKCupid. Although it has less members so it was slow. I found 4 guys that seemed good in a year of intermittent use which was fine for me. Quality over quantity.

You never did Match.com?
I did Match.Com and OKC. I don't have a stigma against, I would suggest that my friends do it. Not too much success on either though, but I'm really picky. I think its easy to be picky online... but a lot of the guys who approached me online I honestly don't think would ever approach me IRL. Its just a sense I have. I basically only talk to the people who I could actually see approaching me IRL, and also the only people that I could see myself having chemistry with lol. That narrows it down a lot lol.
