    I gave online dating a go for the first time last year and did receive a lot of attention in spite of my weight, so I don't think weight is a huge factor for me (it depends on the individual though, of course), but I have noticed that finding someone truly compatible is a double-edged sword. The other week, I finally broke up with my boyfriend who I met on there, and who has so much in common with me, it's almost too hard to believe. We see eye-to-eye on so many world issues, have the same interests in music and movies, same sense of humour, similar career goals and experiences, etc. However, as other posters have mentioned, online dating doesn't give a relationship the opportunity to grow organically. So, over time, I started seeing red flags and incompatibilities that are impossible for an online algorithm to pick up on, and perhaps they are things I would have noticed had I hypothetically met him in a more normal setting, like at school, and got to know him on a purely platonic level at the beginning.

    On the other hand, online dating does give individuals the chance to meet like-minded people who one would otherwise never have the opportunity to if one leads a busy lifestyle. That's a bonus if you're a total freak. Like me.

    So...did you ever meet him? Online dating is how you meet...but if you became a couple surely you connected in person?

    Yes I did, as I stated, and we dated for less than a year; however, my point is that what may seem perfect and ultra compatible on paper may not be the case. That is a potential con of starting to date someone right away off the internet instead of allowing a more organic, gradual relationship to develop. At least that is what I take away from the experience, personally.
