Never really had much luck with it anyhow & what little bit of luck I've had turned out to be bad. It might be okay for getting a date or if you live in a city like New York, LA, etc. Maybe a lot of it depends where you live as well. The town I've been wanting to move to after my divorce has so many things to do here. if your a dog lover & hang out at the dog park you can't help but to meet people. It's been my experience that the women I have dated online have much more issues then those I have met offline. I'm in NO ways ready to date or seek out any kind of relationship I know that just venting here more or less.

I don't see why it has to be one extreme or the other. You can have a dating profile but check it less and spend more time away from the computer.

i think online dating can be a pretty good deal, as long as its used in addition to real life dating. I think relying on online dating to be the only way to meet possible dates would be a misstep. Many couples meet online, for various reasons - i just dont think it should be something taken all that seriously.

I don't get approached in real life so online dating is basically my only way to find potential dates. Not all women get approached and asked out constantly, especially if they have a physical deformity or are a 'niche' dating prospect.

I'm not looking for a relationship anymore, but I am dating for fun and online is perfect for that.

As with everything in life it all boils down to mostly luck.

Online dating and a long distance internet relationship are two very different things. If you have bad look online, you're going to have bad luck in person. Your best bet is keeping as many options open as you can, because you can meet a great person anywhere.

I actually agree with you.

All this chase chase chase, then you get her, then you don't want her and it's all "she's stalking me".

It's the way it goes.

If young men put as much energy into their studies as they do their sex lives, we would have found the cure for cancer by now.
