I tried yahoo's site and match.com. Had little success, though I did meet my current girlfriend via the yahoo site. Which we have been together for over a year. Their not bad though it can take some time to find something. I contacted many people on those sites and only got a few responses that ended up going no where.
I think I was on the yahoo site for six months before I found my current girlfriend. I trust the sites, as if you want to talk to real people you have to pay for the account so not many will play to just mess with people. _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

yep agreed with lian. if not get drunk, just go out and meet people; hang out at a library if you're into nerdy chicks, go clubbing, pick up at the beach or the mall... possibilities are endless. i know that online dating does work, and i've seen that for myself, but i really don't think you should be resorting to it unless you've exhausted every other option. meeting people face to face will sort out any compatibility issues a lot quicker than, say, a 3 hour IM conversation. plus you should take into account that peoples internet personalities can be a lot different to the way they are in real life and could surprise you (though not necessarily in a bad way). _______________ Brother to Luke Skywalker and (SKX) Dark Blade

Quote: Hmm meeting people online is a mixed bag really, i've met people all over the place, and while i have not activley joined an online dating thingumy before, i have been very close to one or two people i have met in MMOG's. I'd say as long as you get to know the person so that there is no possibility of deception then there is no problem with it at all. Of course its in the online dating medium that you get perhaps the highest percentage of err strange people you might not actually want to meet.
That's true, but you also have the chance to meet the people you wouldn't normally meet. Like people that don't come out much.

Online dating?
Sared, just go to a bar, get piss drunk, and stay with the person of whoever owns the place you end up at. If you're face-down on the floor in a puddle of your own vomit, then that makes that person extra-special. Hope this helps, Dr. Lianiotte _______________ slorp |

Oh hey, it can most definitely work. I met my first girlfriend via the internet. My second girlfriend I also met on the internet
and even though I knew my third in real life, we would never have dated if it wasn't for our chatting every evening. Mmm, eharmony sounds nice. If they also have a Belgian service
Edit: Damn, I thought I'd sign up to eHarmony. I've spent the last quarter of an hour filling in questionnaires about myself. Edit2: Okay, I've answered all of them (rougly 22 minutes) and this is my output: Quote: Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you.

Back in 2002ish 2003 (I know, I say it like I had gray hairs!) I tried out yahoo's thing for a month. I had a rough string of blind dates and such and wanted to try something different. I did end up dating this girl for a few months off of it, but nothing magical ever happened. The one site I would recommend that I've heard good things about and know a few people that have gotten together due to it is the "eharmony" site. I think it's eharmony.com. I agree with Virt, bold posting, but I wish you luck if you go down that path! It can work! _______________ Be honorable, be friendly, be trustworthy. Show respect to all whom you meet.

i found my first girlfriend(a RL one lol) in a crappy korean mmorpg.
vgf. what i wanted to say is that even in internetz you still need that luck/fate/whatever thing, so imo dating sites just increase that a little... you can still find RL friends,girlfriends etc in any other place of internetz... even wow... even jka... _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Lol Virtue. I've never actually done it before though but I don't mock people for doing so.

Wow, bold move.
I think online dating is something that everyone (or at least, most guys) has done or do, but would never admit it and mock other people who do/have done it. Personally, I did it a few years back - with sites like faceparty and okcupid, all in good fun, of course, it can be a laugh sometimes, as long as you don't take it too seriously.
Maybe you'll even meet someone in RL because of it, I do know one or two people in RL who have met because of a dating site and are still together now. The internet is a weird and wonderful place, heh. - Virtue.
PS. Sared - I enjoy long walks on the beach and I love to just talk all night. No nude pics though... I'd like to get to know you a little first. _______________ Academy Architect This comment was edited by Virtue on Dec 21 2006 12:03pm. |
