Default Who is doing the online dating thing?

I'm revving up for some more dating activity and I'm finally ready to join a few of these dating sights.

I'm looking at Match.com.

What have you tried? What works and what doesn't work?

Thanks!

Woof

You meant that's how you found your boyfriend?

I've had good experience with Plentyoffish.com and it's free. I think it's just as good as match which I found a little scummy.

I think it depends on your age and geography though since others have had better luck with match and not so much with POF.

There are some old threads on this topic with more details.

No more zombie threads, please! Twinkle Toes gets VERY upset.

I'm going to try Plenty of Fish....

I've tried Craigs List in the past, but it's like casting a wide net for idiots.

What are zombie threads?

Also, when you are trying these things might I suggest to do one or two things different than what you normally do?

For example - change the routine up!

Take a continuing ed course, take a cooking class, take up golf... shake it up!

Zombie threads are ones that someone pulls out of the grave and brings back to life. You'll be posting on the thread when suddenly you realize the O.P. started it two years ago and is no longer a member of the forum.

Okcupid.com is really fun for finding people to chat with, and it's free. It's definitely less "focused" than most of the more mainstream sites, but I like how lighthearted it is.
