I was just wondering how common online dating is now in days. I mean right now Im a college student obviously not seeking any serious relationships nor do I have a problems meeting women. But it seems that all the women that I meet are not really my type and there arent many places where you can meet people. What I'm wondering is that if I eventually want to settledown in about 4 or 5 years, wouldnt it be easier to find someone online to avoid wasting time dating people you randomly meet? How many of you have tried it, if so maybe you can share your experiences.
I've gone out with a few people on myspace. They all went ok. None of them have led to anything. I prefer meeting them out, but a date is a date. It really shouldn't matter where you located them.
my last gf i had, met on MySpace, back when it wasn't what it is now in 2004 when there was like 2 million people on that site, was together for 2+ years and dont regret it.
Yep, I've tried it. One girl I dated for a few months. I've met several girls but mostly I didn't like the girls I met. I have had much better success meeting girls in person. I think it's definitely worth trying though, you just never know.
Meeting someone online cuts out 99.9% of the bs. You both know what you are looking for so there's no need for any games. Not saying it's perfect, just smoother.
it works, that's all I'll say...in fact I will go one step further and say it's substantially better than the regular way you would meet someone.
I've done it. It's an effortless way to meet women and work on your game. The shear number of people doing it now is amazing. I'm not saying you're highly likely to meet your life partner online, but it's definitely a way to meet people and work on your dating skills.
Did it for a while...went out with about 40 girls...ended up marrying the last one I dated. I found it as a great way to meet new people with no strings attached. When I first started doing it, I wasn't looking for a long term realationship and thats excatly what I got out if it. Finally met a girl that I enjoyed spending time with and the rest is for now until forever.
I got laid twice having never spent a dime on either girl or gone through any courting ritual.. My comment on online dating: It is good.
Oh, and both experiences led to relationships aswell.. forgot that part.. One lasted 2 years, and the other lasted 2 and a half. The second one was very promising but, I don't want to talk about it.
I know good looking, normal people that have met and married using match.com. You can go there right now and do a simple search to see if there's someone that interest you. With a service like that you already know the women on there are looking to date, looking for sex or looking to get married. And they post their photos. Granted, some may be from 10 years ago, but at least you have an idea of what they look like. It's a great way to cut out a lot of the usual time it takes to meet a woman. If you don't click online, move on to the next one. What have you got to lose besides your virginity?
I have a friend who's been doing it for years, and has had great success getting dates and having fun. He's not looking for a serious relationship, and sometimes he regrets connecting with a particular woman, but he meets them in bars for a drink, checks them out, while they check him out, and takes it from there. Having said that, it wouldn't occur to me to use those services. Although I've been married many, many years, I never had a problem meeting chicks when I was single. They are/were literally everywhere! Of course, times change, and I don't "look down" on online dating services. Well, not much.
I tried it and had many dates with it, mainly with match.com. I never had much luck with eHarmony (which I feel is a rip-off). Ironically, the woman I wound up being with was not an internet date (although she was on match.com at the same time as me) but a good old fashioned fix-up orchestrated by someone who knew both of us. I would try it though as it is an insanely easy way of meeting women and like someone else said, you cut out a lot of the BS that goes on (playing games and **** like that).
My old roomate hooked up all the time with women he met online. He's even marrying one of them. He loved it. All he had to do is sit on his ass and chat it up for a few days/weeks, and bam, they would come to our house and into his bedroom. Online hookups=good. Online dating=debatable.
