    A quick rundown of online dating

    If you have the vaj and are even remotely aesthetically pleasing (say 5 and up/10), you get inundated with tons of emails. You pic the attractive pictures, delete the rest. Then check profiles to weed out the ones you reply to.

    If you have the d, you send an email to every profile that has a remotely aesthetically pleasing pic hoping to make the cut, and rarely get a reply because the odds just aren't in your favor. However, if you are aesthetic (say 7 and up/10), you will get quite a few messages from 0-3 or so/10 thinking they have a shot.

    Basically, as a female you can generally date 2-3 notches above your level (aesthetically speaking), whereas a male generally has to drop a couple notches below his level to have consistent results.

    Call me shallow, but that is the reality as confirmed by personal experience as well as several others, male and female included.

    Yep pretty much.

    My husband and I also met online. I made it very clear on my profile that I was not looking for a one night stand. I would email a few times with guys, then start talking with them on the phone. If I didn't get a creep vibe, I'd agree to meet them. My husband was the only one I met and we are soul mates :love:

    I haven't had much luck with dating lately so I am thinking of doing online dating. I'm kind of nervous about it though!

    I was hoping you guys could share your experiences with online dating. Any tips or advice?

    Thanks! :)

    And also which site is the best? Haha, I don't know what site I should use!

    My friend did it. Total train wreck. It's really hard to figure it out how to get the kind of guy you deserve without bragging. She got lots of guys attracted to her working status, if you know what I mean. She did find the bedroom genius that she could never let go of in there too though, so there's that.

    This is very true in my experience. You have to know what you want, be cautious, and stay clear of ppl giving weird vibes.

    I met my current boyfriend in February of this year on okcupid.com.

    Well I am on a 2 different dating sites for the last month or so.. so far.. just fishing..... no real hits....they say they are interested, I say Hi and then no reply at all.. HA! sounds like a Genesis song right?
    I asked my work husband what he thought about online dating... he said honestly? the men are looking to just get laid.. well isn't that just wonderful?

    Shrug.. Maybe I need better pics.. I am 20 pounds shy of my goal.. so maybe that will be the winner winner chicken dinner??

    PS watch out for the scammers and there are TONS of them.. look for grammatical spelling errors in the emails or notes.. or claims to be in the military (I am former US ARMY so thankfully I am experienced there) there are so many.. anyhow I am rambling now...

    But all in all Good luck...

    I am currently seeing a guy I met on OKCupid.com. We have been dating about a month now. He's a really good guy, who works a lot so we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together.
    I recommend just putting yourself on and keeping an eye on the hits you get anyway. Most of the guys who had messaged me were either looking to just score or just chat. Just be careful and use common sense about meeting people.

    I watched a program last night showing how, in th UK, people are paid to use fake profiles to get desperate daters to pay to use sites. I hope the regulation is better in the US.

    No regulations in the US, the internet is like a Mad Max world.

    I met my husband playing an online game, Second Life. We talked and long distance dated for a year and a half and then we met in person. It took us so long to meet because we lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic. After meeting we were married within 6 months. Three years and some months later we're still married, we just found out we're finally pregnant and I'll be getting a new citizenship at the end of the year! =)

    No luck with dating, jeeeez the guys must be crazy around your way. In the UK i tried PlentyOfFish.com, found a couple but yeah nothing came of it. There are weirdos everywhere you turn so watch out for them.

    I never visited a dating side but I guess some people do it.
    I dated on line before and was quite nice but distance is not a good thing in the end.
