Some good, some bad. I met some nice guys and some real jerks looking for a one-night stand ( I wish those types would just stick with Adult Friend Finder, puh-lease!). I even made some friends - nice guys that we had no chemistry, but got along well otherwise. I met my 'significant other' through online dating, even. I used yahoo personals (as it was free), but from other people's reccomendations, if I had to do it over again I would try eharmony - that's the one that seems the most serious, if your goal is to find a life partner. If you just want to casual date, it seems match.com is more geared to that. Yahoo is somewhere in between, with a good mix. So, it depends on what you are looking for as to what one you should choose.

I have tried it a couple times. I have met some really interesting people. I think it has to do with what you want from the sites. I can honestly say some of the people I have gone out with from the Internet, I may never see or hear from them again. Others became really good friendships. What are you "open' to? You can only get back from life what you are willing to put into it.
The Gentleman I am now engaged to, I met on line as well. It has been almost 2 years, we have never even had an argument.We got what we wanted. You have to be willing to take chances, accept those that do not work out as learning experiences, those that do, are worth the time and effort!! Life has many things in store for us. They are all good experiences in way or another.
On line, in person, in a personal add. When its your time everything will fall into place!

The only halfway reputable sites I've tried are Match.com and Matchmaker.com. Most of the others were scams, full of phony ads with pictures of professional models. There may be a few other decent ones, but even with the best you need to be prepared to deal with a lot of disappointments and aggravation. A lot of online daters aren't looking for anything more than an online date, i.e. they want to flirt by e-mail but they're not serious about meeting anyone. Then there are the "serial daters" who never date anyone more than once. Only about one woman in a hundred is actually looking for anything resembling a relationship, but if you have enough patience you might meet one. I did once and it lasted two and a half years.
If you still want to try it, I'd recommend Match.com. It's the only one I've had any real success with. Matchmaker has gone downhill lately, raising their prices while decreasing the effectiveness of their search options.

I have tried it and am in a relationship that started off online. Its only been a month thus far but everthing is great. That was from match.com. I also had another relationship that lasted for 4 months and only ended cause I moved out of state. I can't say that it will work for everyone, but it did for me. Just be picky and be carefull. There are some creeps out there. Good luck and be patient.

Never ended up actually going on a date with anyone, but did go wing man with my bro. Turned out horrible. The girl looked nothing like her online pic. That was off of Yahoo personals. Wouldn't suggest it.

I met my gf thru internet, both were bloggers and commented each other. We are together for 1 year and a half. My gf's cousin met her bf thru a dating site. They 3 years together.
1 advice: go from online to real life quick. dont wait more than 1 week of online chatting to ask her out.

I did and so far it has worked out great. I have been with the same person that I met online for 5 years. I used the personals that appear on www.theonion.com
I did date a couple of duds that didn't work out too well. It helps to be specific with your interests, likes and dislikes. Best of luck to you!

I had a really bad experience with on line dating.

My experience was bad. I paid for 6 months of the service and didn't have one date. I encountered a lot of shallow people on there. I used eHarmony.com. I was not impressed and I cancelled my membership. I'll just do it the old fashioned way from now on.
