Has anyone used an international dating site? If so, which one did you use? I am interested in expanding my dating pool to include men outside of the U.S. I'm especially interested in men from the UK, France and Italy.

I have always wanted to establish a network outside of the U.S., and who knows what type of people I will come in contact with. Has anyone had any level of success with this?

I really don't think this is such a good idea. I understand that you want to meet foreigners, and that is exciting, but US has a male population of 151.4 million (a very conservative estimate would lead me to conclude that 1.5 million of those are single, looking and around your age), they speak your language and share your background and culture, if you can't make a connection with anyone in that giant pool, how would expanding your dating pool help?

That was not my question. I am asking for advice on the best international dating sites to use, due to my interest in expanding my dating pool to include men outside of the U.S.

Lots of sites have men and women that are not from the US. Im sure many are not people looking for a green card. I would be wary of men who are from countries that don't have Western values though.

Why not just look for ex-pats in your community. There are many groups like "French Tuesdays" where ex-pats gather. But I think it will be difficult to "date" internationally if you do not travel extensively.

Truthfully, I'm a bit tired of living in the U.S. I am looking for a drastic change.

I met or corresponded with many women from many countries on match, which has people from many countries. Almost married one of them, but long distance relationships are difficult, and international even more so.

Maybe he/she doesn't like men with circumcised units.

Look at PlentyOfFish, that site is popular in England and France as well as here.

Just my 2 cents - but I would suggest moving to where you want to live and then trying to find someone there. You don't need to look for a reason to move to a different country - and if you do move there for someone and it doesn't work out - then what? I'd suggest figuring out where you want to live, visit there, move there, start a life there, and then look for love there. Like I said - just my 2 cents.
