    I did it for like 6 months -- met a ton of losers. But you know -- it only takes one. I met my husband on match.com four years ago. I pity the fool who looks down on two people who are absurdly happy and in love.

    I have had good a bad experiences with it. Well, good and odd. I have actually met some great guys, but there have also been some real weirdos.
    Going out into the world and meeting someone isn't something on my priority list right now, so it's nice to be able to reach out to guys in my area that I wouldn't have otherwise met.

    I'd imagine dating sites have to have a higher concentration of the socially awkward. If they weren't they would have had more success meeting someone day to day. Though I can also imagine those that just don't have the time to meet someone, but I believe these to be the minority, and in pictures taken from the right angles, indistinguishable from the creeps.

    IMO it's for a certain type of person or situation/attitude.


    I used it. I was sick of the same old BS, and thought I was ready for a "girlfriend" type relationship. 'That' is why I used one.
    I went on a few dates, dated one girl for a few months (she was actually probably a good girl but was a little crazy for me), and also met my wife on one.

    It worked out great because we would have hit it off anyhow, but would have never met, without the dating site because we never would have been in the same places.

    My friend met her now husband on-line: plentyoffish.com. She said she had a hard time because 9 out of 10 guys were just looking for a one night stand.

    Either way, I might have thought it was weird back in the day but now all bets are off. Seeing her get married and start a family from meeting a guy on-line has changed my perspective. We live in a technological society...

    One other thing I'll add. If you are not good at reading people online dating is going to lead to a bunch of BS for you.

    As a guy that is not weird or strange.. it works great.

    Funny thing is EVERY girl I have met that tries it, has stories similar to the OP.
    I find this to be absolutely true on both counts.

    Bump to read through this later because I'm considering giving online dating a try (again)...it's just so hard to meet single guys when every one of your friends is married and has kids! I did match.com about 8 years ago and it was just one one-night stand after the next (don't judge). Not what I'm looking for now.

    I will always say that eharmony is awesome because it's how I met my husband! We've been together for 3 years, married for 2.

    And I met my best friend on a blogging site - turns out she lived right by me! We've been BFFs for...wow...going on 7 years now.
