Online dating?

What are your thoughts about online dating?

Online dating?
Personally, I like the thrill of meeting women in person. First of all, you can judge a woman's looks for yourself in person. We all know pictures from online dating sites can sometimes be deceiving.





Secondly, right then and there in person, you can show a woman your confidence from going up to her and talking to her, and in turn, find out her interest level in you by how she acts and talks in front of you. Right away, you build a repore with this woman, and she can then go home with you, or give you her number to meet up at a later time for a date. Also, you can find out right then and there that she may not be into you, and you can move on to the next girl in the club, bar, reception, etc. that same night, having the chance to meet several girls in all.





Lastly, if you do hit it off with this girl online and decide to meet up, your going to have to go through everything I just mentioned anyway. She might not like this guy she talked to online in person. I mean, we act and say stuff differently behind a barrier like the internet and phone, compared to in-person. The stress level is different when we physical invite someone into our social space, compared to a chat online.





It might be the 21st century with all this high technology that makes life easy, but when it comes to dating, the old school rules still apply.
Reply:If you are careful at who you you pick it can be good. I found my love that way when I was almost 70.


But, if you are a woman it is better for you to make the contact first, because too many men are looking for one night stands.
Reply:meeting someone online then meeting in real life: ok


meeting someone online and never meeting them yet still conducting a "relationship" online: ridiculous

Yahoo personals is the best one (I tried them all). Because it gives people the most leeway to express themselves and just write. Also, you can search for people by income level! (Not that I'd do that...)


For example, with online dating, I can find people who share my religious beliefs and want kids...that already eliminates 99.9% of the population...how else could you possibly do that? It would take forever in real life.


Plus you get to see what the person looks like, and you can talk to five new guys a week, whereas you could hang out at Borders all day and meet no one! Try it! (be safe!)
Reply:Actually tried it through Yahoo for three years, it was one of the worst time and money consumers of my life. You might as well hang out at some local dive bar to pick up women.
