I met my last boyfriend on Match. Ultimately, it didn't work out, but we dated for 2.5 years and are still friends.

Besides, I'm entirely too lazy to do the scene anymore.

I met my BF online 1 1/2 year later and moving in together in April. I also saw people I knew from Highschool on there as well, and I was one of the "popular" girls.

Kind of embaressing at first? ya. Was it a good decision? Hell ya. Fun way of meeting new people, you have nothing to lose.

POF ALL THE WAY! LOL

Ok, Seriously though... today I was off work and really bored. I got to thinking about what it is like to live in a college town, but to be older than the average crazy 19 and 20 year olds. I can be shy at first, and I haven't been on a date in quite a while. So I thought to myself, is there really a stigma on online dating anymore? What kinds of people in my area participate? My curiosity got the best of me , and I did a search on a couple of free sites of people my age. During that time, I found a few people I actually knew. I don't think I could legitimately post a picture or any information because even though it is approaching 2012, I would feel embarrassed if one of those people saw me . I don't know. What are your thoughts on this? Feel free to ridicule, laugh, or criticize.

I actually met my husband on OkCupid.com in 2009. We just got married in October of this year.

Just be careful about which sites you use. Plentyoffish is HORRID.

My dad dates super hot chicks on a regular basis online and meets them in Russia. Totally doesn't do it for the sex... just doesn't want to marry someone from the US for whatever reason. Whatever floats his boat.

huh? ........................

I bought my wife from Russia.

I paid with PayPal, so I guess that's online enough.




///seriously - my sis called me one day and was like, "I'm on this dating site and you need to see some of this crap!" I logged in with her profile and there were several people we'd gone to high school with... and their profiles were not even close to who they were in real life.

So congrats to those of you that it worked for, but I only know the horror stories.

I found a good one...and so did my fiance's sister and his mom. You just have to use your head.

Nope. Crack on.

I met my husband online and a guy I met online (didn't click stayed friends) met his now wife there.

Just be careful - like you would meeting any stranger for the 1st time - and check his back ground.

I wouldn't worry about a "stigma". They are on there too - to trash you is to trash themselves.

woou

Hm don't know. Just started out myself. Added 100lbs to myself (photoshop), couple years to my age and less education than I actually have. Yes. I'm serious.

i use match.com (haven't paid yet, i just browse) and i don't think there's much of a stigma. i actually saw a kid from my high school on it!!!

i just don't meet people in person. Realistically, bars are too loud to meet people in, and i'm about to graduate college and have never met a boy in class at all. Plus, my friends are very loud so I end up being the meek girl in the back, even though that's not really my personality.

I thought i'd try a different way. i think once i have an actual job and graduate college i will pay for it and actually go on it seriously!!
