for just a few minutes. Not a huge urge to do it, but the though did enter my mind and that's the exact thought I'm trying to prevent or eliminate.
Please give me reminders of why I should NOT go back to that garbage dating solution so that I don't do anything stupid over the weekend like create a profile...
Eh. I've met some pretty great guys via online dating.. In fact, I also met one of my really good friends via a dating website. We went out, there was no chemistry. It we have a ton in common and have been friends for years now.
I met the guy I'm seeing now via online dating and am quite happy so far.

Yes but online dating is bad. The women are poor quality and disrespectful, I hate the games people play on it, and as a man it causes me to lower my standards just to get a response or a date.
I should have pointed out I'm a man. Online dating works very very well for women....not me.
P.S. I almost never take pictures and I don't have good pictures at all which makes my online dating value very low.

You could just get a friend to take some nice pictures of you.
You should never lower your standards. Online dating is an extension of the real world. I realized the majority of the women weren't for me, as it should have been. When I was single it was similar in the real world. Even if the women looked good I doubt most of them would click with me.
I wouldn't generalize too much with women and online dating. If I was single and online dating again I wouldn't want my inbox full of crappy messages with the occasional decent one. I probably got one or two messages a week and I was happy with that.
The OP doesn't need convincing about going back to online dating. Reading over his first two posts in this thread should be enough for him to find something to do other than create a profile.
Didn't you do E-Harmony and write about how it was going well? You weren't on there very long, what could have happened to make you suddenly think so negatively?
Why do you need us to convince you when your last post did all of the talking itself?
If you're against it, then don't do it. But if you like it and want to, do it.
Jesus.
My name is Turtle, not Jesus.

Just looking for additional points of discouragement. Obviously what I already know about it isn't enough to prevent the thoughts from entering my mind. Just looking for added fuel to the fire to make sure I don't take my lazy saturday morning and do something dumb like sign up on a pay site.

It was certainly an improvement from a time management standpoint. I had a decent response rate early on but after the first month or two I just stopped getting any responses at all almost, or ran across a couple flakes. The quality of the woman and their lack of respect or the confusion and frustration they caused me was no different from the women from other dating site.
I just need to make sure I do not start down the path because I know where it leads. I realize fighting the urge to date or find someone will be difficult, I know it's in our nature to want to be with someone, I just need to do what I have to in order to make sure I don't give in to my decision to stop.
