If so what have your experiences been, any good matches, worth the effort or was it just a disappointment??

No.

However, this is going to get flamed and trolled so hard.

I've never tried online dating, i suppose i could try it out, but i think my wife might get pissed at me when i bring my date home for a romantic dinner.

Personally i wouldn't wate my time with online dating. If you're single and lonely theres 100's of places to meet people that don't involve a bar setting.

I don't think this counts as to what you mean, but i met up with a girl from daoc and we shagged.
Was an... odd experience at the least.

No, but I can see the appeal in selecting just how dirty you want your date to be before you arrange to meet. The old fashioned way, you had to get through half a dozen before you found one who'd swallow and take it up the wrong'un!

I've done it plenty of times. It's not that bad and I've had some good results, some interesting results and some not so great results. Just expect a lot of spam, fatties and flakes. When you find a good one it can be worth it. And while you wait you can just plow some of the fatties.

If you're looking for a decent chick I suggest you get tickets to some sporting event or concert or some crap like that. Then a few the day before or of the event post an ad somewhere saying, "Anyone up for......"

There was a situation in the city that started about six months back, around Nov i think it was.
A man had seen a girl in a red scarf at the subway station every day while commuting to work.
He thought she was very attractive, but was too shy to speak with her while they waited for the train.
Then one day she stopped coming to the train station and he thought he had lost his chance to meet her.

Everyday for week's he waited and looked for her at the station hoping to see her, but she just wasn't there anymore.
So he decided he'd take drastic action in an attempt to find her.
Every week he bought dozens of Billboard spaces around the city and each week they had a different message addressed to the "red scarf girl".
The first week was "Girl in the red scarf at Corona station, i haven't seen you in week's, i wish i had spoken with you".
The Billboard included a contact number and he surely got his share of prank calls.
Months passed and one woman who thought it was very romantic, took out some Billboard spaces too, it read "Hello prince charming, i'm not the "girl in the red scarf" but i could be".
After months of trying and many different messages he finally got to meet with the "red scarf girl" again.

This is a true story.


Love is out there, if you're not too shy to do something about it.

One of my friends tried it out once and they didnt really like the experience. I didn't ask a whole lot of questions about it because they were embarrassed of the whole ordeal but meh. At the same time though they lived in a very small town so that may have contributed to it.

I think I've related a few funny stories in vent related to this...after having that "1 too many beers". Congrats to folks who found someone via these sites. My opinion is that it's safest to approach them like another kind of game. It's amusing and entertaining without having to worry about any of it being real. Very few folks represent themselves honestly or accurately.

So my vote, overall, is that you are better off to meet people face to face.

Ive been married twice and I can tell you now that online or face to face whatever its all the same shi.


Better off not getting married especially if you are young and just have fun with people of the opposite sex or same if you are gay.

its just not worth it.

Yes have tried it and had good experiences You will find the flakes everywhere wheather online or in other places. To really know who you are dealing with its like pealing the skin off an onion, one piece at a time.

Just keep a possitive attitude and you will get what you are looking for, been married 2 times too as above and this last lady had to find me first instead of me chasing, because wasn't going to play the games anymore. That is the biggest problem is cutting through all the games and baby moma drama.

Tried plenty of fish for like 2 hours and realized that any decent chick just gets spammed by guys posing with shirts off. Realized that if I ever wanted to try it seriously that you gotta use a not-free dating site for people that are serious about it.

My best met met a girl he dated for about 3-4 years on cupid I think. More intresting though is the guy I used to work with. He and his wife were swingers and would hook up with people from Adult Friend Finder. Got some crazy stories from him plus some good pics of his whore of a wife and the other sluts she would let him bang.

Study: ‘World of Warcraft’ better for singles than online dating sites

http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/study-world-warcraft-better-singles-online-dating-sites-002402169.html

Might be of some help, but I recalled reading about this a bit back. I haven't dated anyone across the webs due to the ball and chain, but I think it might be a great way to find someone with similar interests.

WoW Article posted:
According to the study, a whopping 75% of Warcraft players are dating someone else playing the game, and of those, another 75% actually traveled over 100 miles to meet their current partner.



Does this mean that 56.25% of WoW players traveled over 100 miles to meet their current partner? I can't tell if I'm reading that right, but 75% of the 75% is 56.25% and if that is actually true I will be shocked.
