Pros:
Might be easier to meet someone
Can put preferences out in front
Cons:
Might fail and make you depressed
Lots of people not what you want who don't take no for an answer
Creeps
Lots of nude photos (I suppose this could be a pro though)
Meeting people to realize no chemistry
Liars
Married people
What I liked about OLD was the fact that you could meet someone that was a complete stranger to everyone in your social circle. Its like a fresh of breath air, and a whole lot less drama for some.
I did OLD off and on for YEARS. It was a huge pain, time-consuming and frustrating, and I could only do it for a few weeks at a time. I swore off it more than once. All that being said, I just married someone I met via a dating site.
I signed up on OKcupid in April 2014. Going online to find a date felt weird to me, as I was used to having some-what long term friendships with men before moving into a romantic relationship. For whatever reason I felt like online dating might feel too much like I was "forcing" a relationship. But I decided what the heck, might as well try it before knocking it.
Pro: Tons of messages from men, which means ample opportunity to connect with someone.
Con: Having to sift through them and figure out who you want to respond to. And kind of worrying you're missing someone you have potential with! There just aren't enough extra hours to make sure every conversation you start with someone is quality. So I decided not to draw out the online writing back and forth and meet up fairly quickly.
I met one man about 2 weeks after signing up and ended it after 3 dates - no chemistry.
I met up with another man about 3 weeks later and he is the man who is now my wonderful boyfriend.
Well there you have it, my personal experience
