Not to go off on a Rant here but i seems to me that..
Online Dating is not so good for many guys.
Guys seem to outnumber women 4 to 1 on many sites.
Married guys enter the mix as well(maybe 25% are married)
A Women just has to relax and pick throught the many emails...

Not that is so easy for the Women having creeps,married men and..
Guys only wanting sex emailing her.
Dating generally isnt fair for many guys in real life but online..
Even worse.That being said i have had some dates and a few g/fs..
From online dating but it wasnt easy lol

Online dating is just like real dating.

Gotta sort through the crap to find something worthwhile.

I think each side has it's challenges.

Ladies: Lots of predatory guys, scammers, outright liars, married guys etc. If you are attractive you will be buried in attention (see JeepGirl, who I finally realized has a picture on this forum....who not surprisingly still gets emails from guys after setting her profile to lesbian...lol)

Guys: The ladies are getting so much attention from the masquerading scum that it can be hard to get on the radar of a gal the calibre you are looking for. So basically, a decent looking guy with it all together is up against the hotter buff guy that lives in his friends basement and has a criminal record but says he is a successful businessman, humanitarium, blah blah blah.

With that said, I think it's easier for people looking for matches SOLELY based on looks and a whole lot harder for those of us looking for the complete package so to speak. There is a reason I've been working out 5 times a week for a little while now lol.

What ever happened to the good Ol' days of meeting ppl at Dairy Queen or the grocery store or the mall or an awesome game????

Internet dating would be scary for me to consider if I were single......you don't get the opportunity to read people......or REALLY get to know them.....

To be honest - when I am single again (because it's gonna happen!) I can't wait to start meeting people on dating sites and the like! I've already scoped out a lot of sites, but can't really act on anything because of that pesky little "married" thing.
