Okay... not a dating site, but I did meet my current wife in a chat room called "Horny Wives Club." If that doesn't set up a pre-disposition, I don't know what does. Funny thing is it was both her and my first time in there. So, aside from regular online dating don't forget chat rooms!!

You can always find trouble when you deliberately look for it. Pretty darn easy on all of them.

I met my wife on Yahoo. There are tons of personals sites out there... some are better than others. You can find many which are specific to a certain type of person whom you seek.

I did online dating for a few years and had great success with it, not success in that I found a husband just success in meeting some really cool guys that were fun to hang with and fun to catch dinner or a movie with. They would usually fall too quickly though and I'd have to put on the brakes and remind them that Iwasn't looking for anything serious and they understood. I did meet one guy that I dated for two years but he just ended up being a mess of a person and couldn't just be happy with one woman so I ended that. I've never had a "bad date" per se though via online dating. I honestly had a good time with it. If nothing else, you should be able to have fun just chatting and getting to know people before meeting them in person. It's a great way to "weed" out the wackos, and wackos do exist, I just never agreed to meet any of them.
I met my fiance through the internet while looking for a roommate - does that count? LOL
Anyway, to some, the whole dating thing may seem very scary and crazy but if you are a laid back person and you can laugh at yourself (and other people) then you will do fine. It helps to have a lot of street smarts and common sense. I really believe that being a good judge of character in a small window of time helps a lot when online dating. If you have those things going for you, it should be relatively easy to find a good person online. Have fun!

I can't imagine that one site would have more success over another. Although I have never done on-line dating.

It seems to me you have equal chance of meeting a "good" catch or "bad" catch no matter where you look. Including traditional dating.

I really like OkCupid because it's free and their matching system tends to be very accurate for me. I don't even bother talking to people who are less than a 70% match with me in most cases because I just *know* it won't work out. I've met more nice guys on there than bad ones. I've even met a few really great "catches" as they'd call them who didn't work out romantically for me, but will make some girl very happy and comfortable one day.

I know people always say that people on free sites aren't as dedicated to meeting people, but I have found that to be not true at all. A few people that I've met have just feigned wanting to meet in person and want a chat buddy- which is fine as long as it doesn't get raunchy (but, as anywhere online, there are plenty of people who just want that as well).

Some of my friends have had good luck with eharmony and jdate as well.

Stay out of local online dating chatrooms! These are all your local people who can't get picked up in bars, or public.

LOL, this sounds like a sound advice!

Free for YOU...me, they asked for money. Or perhaps, free to join, but if you want to send mail, you pay. No thanks.
