Um...WTF?? Nothing in my profile suggests that I'm looking for a male girlfriend!
Oh come on. Ive seen plenty of CD white knights claim they are seeking women who find their feminine side attractive. In their minds, they actualy exist in the real world.

What about the guys that are sincere and are NOT looking to harm a girl or have a one night stand, but online dating is there only option?

Online dating isn't really that different than meeting someone while out and about. Everyone is a stranger at first no matter how you meet them.

Have dated two of them so far, both were willing to meet me at my place, both were willing andpushing for sex on first date, one of them decided that its unnecessary to even go on a date, instead we just hung at my place, had hours of great sex and she stayed over the next two nights. The kicker is, she isnt looking for FWB or occasional hookup, but rather an actual relationship. Horny women everywhere, and most seem less inhibited than in the past, which i love. I have shut down my POF account after 48 hours becasue i couldnt keep up with the demand. Im 37 years old, and this friday im going on a date with a brazillian 23 yo hottie who's been in the US for 3 weeks, who also has made it clear she wants sex right away. No problem girl, i wont dissapoint.
After using online dating as one method to meet people that I might be interested in dating and eventually marrying (which worked, by the way), I can attest that, just like in real life, there are all sorts of odd people out there.

Just as there are men and women out there in real life who will have casual sex with strangers, there are people online who will do the same. These people tend to find each other -whether on line or at a bar - or at the public library for that matter.

There are also people online who are NOT interested in casual sex - who are looking for serious relationships and marriage. My husband and I fell into that category, and we found each other within a few months of putting our profiles online.

Yes, because when my lady friend and I met for the first time at Starbucks it was SOOOOOO dangerous!

I met my fair share of men from online and communicated with all of them for quite some time prior to meeting them. There was no connection with most of them. They sounded great on paper, but when we met, it just wasn't there.

My husband and I met 2 days after I replied to one of his messages on a matchmaking site. We both agreed it was a waste of time to corresponding online when we could just meet and see if there was a connection. Needless to say, we hit it off.
TOTALLY mine and my husband's experience. After a few months of meeting people after talking and texting and messaging for weeks, and then POOF - no spark - we had independently determined just to meet people quickly - short and sweet, no drama. If you decide you never want to see them again, it's not like there's any depth of emotion to the relationship.

My husband and I both had lots of FRIENDS - and plenty of people who were ready and willing - and eager - to date us. We just didn't want to date any of THEM. So we had turned to online dating because we had run the gamut of our social circles and literally didn't know a single person we had any interest in. Plus, we were both very busy professionals.

We met after just a couple of phone conversations and BAM - it was instantaneous fireworks! We were married ten months later and it's been seven great years together!

I live in whats commonly called "the worlds largest village" and I am not joking, in a city of over a million people, there is only one degree of separation.

Example - I met and dated a guy online from way over the other side of town, who I would normally never, ever run into, either socially or through work. He turned out to do work for my son's best friends family restaurant and knew them very well, as did I.

Congratulations. No doubt there are people on there that are looking for different things. Most of the women i have talked to however, indicate that they are looking for serious relationship only, and more often than not tell guys who are looking for a one night stand, not to bother. But after exchanging a few messages, it becomes quickly evident that they have zero problem sleeping wioth me on the first date. In most occasions i have gotten naked pictures or pictures of their naked body parts, without asking foir such, before even meeting.
