What is your opinion about internet-dating services?
February 25th, 2010 by admin | Posted in Single Dating Services
I was just wondering was you people thought about internet dating websites. I have to admit, I did attempt meeting people for a few months on this internet-dating website called true.com.
Unfortunately I communicated with about ten different women and ended only really like two of them. I canceled my profile because I didn’t think it was necessary anymore.
Most people I talk to think that internet-dating is for desperate people who are too afraid to meet people in person but I think that internet-dating is just another way to meet people, due a large part of society spending most of their time in cyberspace anyways.
What are your opinions and thoughts about this topic?

Our world today is very fast-paced and busy with internet communication being one of the top ways to make friends and meet people.
With people having as busy of a life as they do it can be very hard to make friends out and about. I see nothing desperate or lame about meeting people online. I think it’s a great way to weed people out and determine what you want. Why go on a bunch of useless dates when you can communicate by phone and e-mail a few times before going out?
I also agree people should just get out there but it’s not always the best way either. Society is complicated and so are people. I have found it’s much easier to write to people via e-mail first and see what interests we have in common and then go from there. Makes the process much smoother.
Anyone who calls it desperate or lame likely never tried it themselves and are too quick to judge.
EDIT:
Almost forgot: It IS possible to tell if someone is a creep, perv or liar in an e-mail. If you’re intelligent and good at reading people even in the written word you can decipher what is pure bullshit and what is truth.
I take information they give me and research them by first and last name. If I am able to find the information and it checks out, then it’s all good. It’s all about being smart, resourceful, and learning to read between the lines. Some of the things people say is so outlandish or too eerily similar to what I like that it’s obvious they’re trying too hard or are simply a creep.
they can be good although u have to be aware of ppl dragging you on
Can anyone help me:

my opinion is THEY ARE RUBBISH!!!
i pick up more women on these websites… D and it costs me nothing…
So far my experience with them hasn’t been good, but it hasn’t been bad either. I have met a couple people on dating websites that are now really good friends of mine, but so far no Mr. Right. I think dating websites are good to learn how to talk to people, and how to make friends, but if you are looking for a serious relationship I say doing it outside the internet.
not for desperate people at all!
I think it is a very efficient way of meeting people and screening prospective dates!
I have to admit to being one of the many who feels it’s "lame" for lack of a better word. I feel if anything is worth having than it’s also worth working for, and if you really want to meet someone get out there! There are too many liars and pervs online for that to be someone’s only or main method of finding their "mate"
I tried it as well, and although I didn’t meet my partner there, I did meet a lot of people that I wouldn’t have in my normal day to day routine.
I do think that a lot of people lie – either about what they look like, or even what they want.
I don’t feel that you are desperate, just searching for love.
i agree with those who say it is for desperate people. i personally would not resort to that. besides you never know what kind of creeps you’re gonna meet.
I agree with you, these days people are very consumed with their careers or school or family obligations, and do not have as much time to get out and meet people in the traditional ways. However, I also believe that you really have to be careful because many people online are not what they make themselves out to be. But it is completely possible to meet your "other half" online, and have a great relationship, just like if you had met at a club or whatever. I know a couple who met online, and they have been together for a couple of years now. I have a friend that I met online, and although we are only friends, nothing romantic, we have been friends for almost 10 years now. Just be safe when deciding who to meet and who not to meet. Good luck!
Dangerous never know who you gonna meet can be a psycho chick or dude. I would rather meet someone on the streets at least you have a choice to talk to them or not.
I actually met my boyfriend on hotornot.com which does sound kind of silly. I have met a lot of guys offline and some have been good and some bad. I have bad self-esteem and that’s why I used sites like that. I also lived in a college town so it was hard to meet guys that weren’t looking for the stereotypical sorority girl. I think it’s silly to pay though.
I think that internet dating is a good thing in some ways, but in others it is bad as you can’t always tell a lot about a person from a written description and people don’t tell the truth about their interests most of the time. so yeah….i guess you could say its ‘OK’ to be very brief.
I hope I helped

I agree that it is just another way to meet people.
My aunt used an internet dating site a little bit after she got divorced from my uncle.
The new man she met through the dating website ended up being the perfect match for her. He enjoys the same things, and they get along very well. It’s been a while since they met and they now live together and seem very happy.
I’m only 19, but I have no reservations about using a dating site if that special man eludes me for too long. =P
I truly think those websites stink. I was a member of one and found no success on it. I went out on a few dates and the profile most men portrayed were glorified versions of themselves. I am not desperate nor do I have any problems finding men. Its finding men of quality that I struggle with. Everyone plays on the internet sites for different reasons. Good luck in your journey. I still think the best way to meet people is through friends.
It’s just waste of time and money. People who goes on internet dating are to scared to interacted or there to lazy. These day we all have to go to out start being congruent so that we look for a potential partner we want.
personally i think internet is one of the way to meeting people around the world, but dating someone you met on the internet kind of creep me out, i mean there are bad people out there. Dating someone you might for the first by following the face to face asked out to a date is much more fun, i mean you actually worked for what you want. Do what you feel comfortable with
I used them for about a year and it ended up being a learning experience. I was not exactly shy but also not a super outgoing person around attractive woman, so i found that the many dates that i went on……some being 5-6 times, that it made me more confident and i didnt have to worry about what the outcome was..if it was fun it was, if not whatever.
My friends were supportive of it and one of them even found their, now, husband on there. my wife on the other hand thought it was extremely weird that i was on there dating girls. But i do agree with you, that i think it depends on your situation……maybe you work long hours and dont have time to go out or you live somewhere you dont know anyone and you have no way of being introduced. I moved to an area where i knew no one and had a hard time meeting any single women so i gave it a shot.
everyone has there reasons, some are more socially accepted, i believe then others.
if anything its a good way of making some female friends who you may not be attracted to, but may share a common bond.
good luck to you.
