Most of the online people I've met in the past for dates were freaks. I'm gay, so it is harder to find dates in real life. Gay community needs a huge revamping because they seem to not really care for social skills or tact lol.

yea, why don't you get that ball rolling

i'm gay and have no problem finding good people to date. most are straight women, too. it's not your communities responsibility to help you get a date. quit being a negative nancy and work to improve your attitude toward life.

happiness is very attractive

If you don't use the sites keep your smart remarks to yourself.

For the most part they suck. People look at your picture and if they don't like what they see their gone. And forget spending time reading someone's profile and composing a creative response. Unless you look like a model they ain't responding.

Of course that cuts both ways

I hope the MODs close this thread. I wanted honest views and now I have two folks in a pissing match.

I'm going to try eHarmony out for a few months. I'm not really sure what to expect if I can get a few dates out of it then cool.

I use eharmony and have never had much luck, so far it's amounted to one date with a very nice guy but because I'm moving to San Antonio soon, and he's locked into his job here in AZ for the next three years it would never have worked. I do have friends who met on eharmony and got married about two years ago, so it can happen. I'm not sure how long I want to keep up the monthly payments though.

I use match.com but am about to give that one up because it seems that most guys on the site are not looking for anything serious. One guy from there seemed nice, but he only ever suggested that I drive 80 miles to have margaritas at his house. Sorry, but if you want to meet me, you come to where I am and we meet at a restaurant. I don't do house calls on a first date.

The one that's worked out the best in the past is Yahoo Personals. That one has resulted in more dates for me than the other two combined. I know three married couples who met on Yahoo. I met my ex-fiance through Yahoo and the fact that he turned out to be a jerk after two years had nothing to do with how we met. My latest ex BF was also from Yahoo and although I wasn't the right one for him in the end, we remain good friends.

There's been nothing creepy or desperate about any of the guys I've met in person from the online services. If they seem fake, creepy or ugly I don't answer their e-mails/winks/icebreakers in the first place, and I do get those once in a while. Any guy who uses the word "discreet" in his profile is instantly blocked.

I consider myself to be a normal, attractive person who just has a hard time meeting people. The online dating thing is a better way to spend nights at home instead of in front of the TV with a pint of ice cream anyway. I live in a rather small military city that's about half very young soldiers and half old retirees, so finding a single, normal, 40 year old guy is difficult. I'd love to meet a nice military officer but the military seems to issue the wedding ring when they get their commission.

Once I get to San Antonio there should (hopefully) be more opportunities to get out in the community and meet new people. I plan to volunteer at the USO, the Rock-n-Roll Marathon (I don't run, but damn I love guys with runners bodies), and even get together with other women to scrapbook (they may have brothers, or sons). I'm not just going to sit on my butt in front of the computer hoping Mr. Right will pop up, but I figure having another way to meet new people really can't hurt.
