It's hard to say b/c a lot of people meet their partner OL these days. Isn't it roughly half now? If it's your only method of meeting people, that's probably not good but if it's just one of several ways then you won't get so caught up in it. There are psychos on there, but I'm assuming that the ratio is about the same as that of the general population. Maybe it's just evident sooner OL, which would be a good thing.
Men go on and on about how women have it so great OL, but I think it's just a different set of problems. In your case, you're what? 19? I haven't looked for your pic but if you're good looking, you will probably get inundated with mail (so I've heard) and will have to weed thru a lot of creeps.
Women over 40, not so much but then we don't have to read thru so many creeps either though I could write a book about some of the interesting responses I've had and I had no idea so many young men want to date us, but then I doubt they're looking for a relationship either--probably looking for an easy lay. I'm not a hot cougar type either.
I finally closed out my account because no one that I was interested in was responding and I decided I probably just wan't ready to date anyway, but a thought came to mind--of the several men I've had long term relationships with in the past, I probably wouldn't have given any of them a second glance on an OL profile. So if I were you, I'd do it, but I wouldn't screen them by their pix and I'd sign up for a smaller free one like OK Cupid. And make sure your profile totally represents you--don't be too generic so as to attract more attention--you don't need more right now, you'll def want less.
MILF!!!!
But, I liked to hear your perspective on online dating.
Wouldn't matter, never have and never will be interested in older woman
LOL! Ouch! She mustve been butt ugly! And you're probably not willing to raise her kids either. You want someone with little to no baggage, do you not?

It's actually very good for women that like to serial date or even a relationship. Not good for men at all...not at all. You spend hours upon hours writing letters and never getting anything back. Or you talk to a lot of flakey women that are playing the field and are just stringing you along in case they need a dinner date one night.
Those choosy women will be on the site for years because they put on hairdye, three pounds of makeup and then they think that no man is good enough for them.
And when they pick a man, they always pick wrong so they come back.
The key to any dating, on-line in particular, is to be picky!!! It is far better to be old and alone, than to be stuck in your "golden years" with someone you suddenly realize you've hated the whole time you've been together!
I once used an on-line dating service, and I looked at hundreds of profiles. I finally found one I thought might work. I picked out second and third place contenders "just in case."
I never contacted the other two, and dated the first guy I picked for over a year and a half. Our biggest barrier was distance; an 80 minute drive around Chicago. Neither one of us wanted to get married, so the drive became taxing after a while.
I had a relatively good experience with on-line dating, but eventually married someone I'd known for 6 years.
I'm online today trying to find another woman on the same level as the girl I'm about to go on a 4th date with because you just never know.
