I would try MySpace now if I was single. I'd probably try Match.com because I think you're able to get more information about what that person is expecting and looking for in the opposite sex. I think the fact that you're paying for the service makes it better. Most likely you're going to find someone who's looking for the same things as you.
Man, you put that one on a tee. I'll let someone else hit that out of the park...it's too easy for me.
Naw, didn't have time to get her into it. The show went away right when we started dating. DAMN, thanks for reminding me how much I miss that show...
A simple "I have not tried it" would have sufficed better than "everybody who ever tries it is a loser and should be ashamed", though I imagine this guy is just yanking chains for kicks.
i've always viewed eharmony as a way to meet someone for a serious relationship vs. casual dating...I haven't tried it but might... Tell me more about your 1 year dating with no red flags rule...
with a name like seclusion, why am I not suprised you would vouch for this tactic?? on a more serious note, i met my last gf through AOL. we were together for 4.5 years, so it wasn't too bad.
Well, it's quite complicated. You see, I won't get married until after 1 year of dating with no red flags. Seriously, there's been a lot of divorce in my family and I just want to make sure I never add to it, ya savvy? I just think (IMO) the longer you date, the better you know each other and the better you know each other, the healthier the marriage will be.
I think everyone's experience is different. I tried match.com and haven't been satisfied with it. One woman was cyberstalking me for awhile and the vast amount of their matches don't appeal to me. In the time I've been on it I've met more attractive and interesting women the old fashioned way, at bars and other get togethers. I've got a My Space page but haven't considered using that as a dating medium but more as a place to keep in touch with people and a place to blog my rantings. I'm very selective about adding people to my friends list since there is so much spam on My Space and I hate reading the same stupid bulletins, especially the surveys and chain mails, that come around on My Space. Haven't considered CF.net as a dating medium. The one place that I've found for me that would work as a dating medium was MSN chat. I suffer from insomnia occaisionally and before I started using the CF.net I would visit MSN chat and I seemed to get a lot more interest even though I had little interest in dating on it. Unfortunately much of the interest I got struck me as central casting from My Name is Earl or teens looking for older guys (or older guys pretending to be teens) so I never followed up on any of it. Particularly since I had little interest in driving to BFE Indiana just to get some action. I guess its different for everyone but my online dating experience hasn't been good. Of course since I'm still pining for a woman from Suriname living in Sri Lanka at the moment my offline dating experience of late isn't that great either.
I met a girl on Myspace. It was horrible. I also signed up on match.com for a month but didn't get anything out of it. It probably has a lot to do with my zip code, but it's really hard to find any women that don't have kids.
Tell that to Helen Hunt and Frank Azaria. They dated for almost ten years, got married and promptly proceeded to get a divorce in less than a year or two. The first year is always the easy year. If I was single, I might try it but i'm kinda skeptical about meeting a total starnger I met online, but the I'm skeptical about meeting people anyway.
I think all these "new" methods just have other people do the work for you. I think it's lazy to find "love" online. If you're there not looking "for love" and find some, then good it will be for you, but if you go there solely for the purpose of finding someone who will "fit everything to a tee" for me, then that's just dumb. There's absolutely NO WAY you can meet someone online or even in person, might I add, that will be PERFECT FOR YOU. Compatible? Maybe. I think zantabak is seeing this from the old-fashioned perspective that you should just be yourself no matter whether you're online or in person meeting people. LOVE will come to you. I personally have never tried online dating and never will. I think it's a lazy way to have someone describe themselves and write it onto a website instead of you asking them for it on your own time. Laziness. astrorockett, that would be HANK Azaria. Not "Frank." AND I disagree that the first year is the easiest. Maybe if that's the easiest, then the second year it's the most difficult one.
You're talking to the people that will have your stuff go in one ear and out the other. I have been tryin' to set them straight since 2002 but they don't listen. I bet he'll come back with a "but this is a BBS, man, not a grammar class" like they all do.
