And to answer the question, yes.

I've actually met pretty nice people from dating sites, if you don't include Craigslist. There just wasn't enough interest. I haven't gotten into an actual LTR online, but haven't needed to. I am interested in trying, because you can learn a lot about someone before meeting them. The biggest issue is chemistry. I would avoid craigslist, because that site is a weirdo magnet and you only get a paragraph of info anyway, so what's the point.

I know what you mean--it's pretty miserable until it actually works, lol. The trick is to find someone who hates it as much as you do.

I met a lot of really cool girls on POF and OKCupid. I'd never actually pay.. but I had a good time while it lasted.

The girlfriend I have now I met online, she's damn good looking and not crazy(yeah right they all are). I would say, comparing the dates from online vs dates that I've picked up in person.. the online dates went better. I signed up from POF and was receiving about 5-10 messages per day and had around 10 dates within a span of 2 months.

I never had one girl online cancel, only one reschedule. Which is much better than when I pick up women either at a bar (not taking them home) or out and about at school or wherever.

I'm surprisingly bad on online dating sites. I've gotten a few dates from there, but they were nowhere near the quality of girls I get in real life.

I've done well on Facebook though.

How do you pick up women on Facebook?

Facebook sucks. How do you even get dates on it?

My dad had hernia surgery today and is somehow finding a way to send me all these weird messages and it is breaking my tablet.

Dated for 3 years via online dating.

One BF, one awesome FWB, and one husband. Chatted with a LOT of guys, but only accepted dates from these three.

Well I guess I get dates off Facebook all the time since my wife is my friend.

The hottest woman on my Facebook other than that is my step sister. It makes me feel creepy to even say that. A couple of my wife's friends are pretty hit but trying to get dates with them could be a bad idea.
