I tried the online dating route awhile ago for like a year and a half. Each profile I was interested in got a response back unique to their profile and not some standard message. I was lucky to get a "hi" back in return. But I did get quite a few spam messages though. This was on e-harmony and match.

Yup my OKC matches are OK on paper, but are not really the same on the socialization scale as I am. I am highly social. And for whatever reason OKC matches me with super antisocial people. Horrible combo. But other stuff might be a pretty good match. But that is probably a #1 deal breaker for me. You don't have to be as social as I am, bue semi-social is required.

POF is for stress relief

OKC is for causal dating/relationship

And we now know why I don't really think online is all that great for someone like me.....

It's rather amusing how you jump to the conclusion that "all these women (are) trying to avoid men looking for sex" as that's not the point that's been made at all. Women don't avoid men who are looking for sex because (and as strange as it must seem to a misogynist) women do have rather a good understanding of the left brain/right brain difference between the sexes. They simply find a man who has only that on his tiny little mind and throws it right out there with no finesse whatsoever, to be very unattractive and in fact very boorish. I realize what a difficult concept that might be for you to unravel but do try.

Odd, my sister's boyfriend actually recommended it to me the other day, said it's algorithm wasn't half-bad. Shrug. I think the sheer number of people on these sites really reduces it down to chance. It's sort of like winning a lottery or a horse race. You can perform educated guesses based on profiles but until you meet them you can't be sure.

Also curious, what do you mean by anti-social? Do you mean just introverted? The psychological definition of the word actually has to do with violence, problems with authority, etc, as opposed to shyness.

I'm familiar with the term, "causal relationship" but what's a "causal dating/relationship"?
