I think online dating is a very unwise and unsavoury experience. My sister and her friends use it regularlr to find men and have always ended up with some idiot who is completely wrong for them and they end up getting used all the time. Internet dating sites are full of sick pervs and i would advise anyone thinking of using to use your better judgement and find a girlfiend or boyfirend the right way but chance rather than by searching a profile.
your thoughts?

Hey, if people are daft enough to actually meet someone from the internet, then it's up to them.

If the net is so riddled with these wierdoes thenyou will only have to weed through them in real life too.
The net is just the start, follow the common sense (doesn't exist anymore, google the meaning) and you can then date. It follows from there if you are compatible.
How do you know the guy in the pub with the chat up lines isn't a wierdo also?
IS society really becoming so ignorant that people cant use a tool to assist them to make something rather than expect it made for them without any effort. No wonder so many boring wierdoes are out there. They don't go and experience life.

Actually online dating worked pretty good for me. I started talking to this guy over 2 years ago, met each other after 2 months of chatting, and we are now living together and engaged! We are 20 and 21 just so you know. I would recommend online dating to anyone who is serious and careful about it. Of course you might be talking to some old perv of the same sex but thats why you wait a while to meet and meet in a very public place. I loved meeting my guy online, I got to know everything about the man with no strings attached and figure if I liked him before we ever had to meet. Being able to just talk to each other for those 2 months, I learned more about him than I ever could have if we just randomly met. When we did meet I felt comfortable being myself because he already know who I was and I didnt have to impress him. If I hadnt went to this dating site I would have never met the love of my life! So I definitely think online dating works!

My thoughts on this are mixed.I do agree that there are sickos and pervs out there.But then again,there are some nice and sweet people too.I met my current b/f on a dating website and he is wonderful.You can read a profile of the person but it doensn't tell you everything.That is why you set up a date to meet that person.If they turn out to be weird,just leave.Sometimes people have to turn to a dating website because they might be having problems doing it the right way or maybe they're shy.For online dating,you have to be careful and put your guard up.Also to use extreme caution as well.

I do agree that there are some very sick people out there and normally I would warn anyone against online dating, but I met my current partner through an online dating site and we have been together for nearly 2 years now and couldnt be happier. But I should like to add I consider myself extremely lucky to have found a good one, I would normally say be extremely careful.

My thoughts are that you can't color the whole picture with one crayon. I found a great man online. We are in a very loving relationship and plan to get married. If you are just out looking for fun then you will of course get others who just wanna have fun and use the other person for what they can get. If you're looking for a lasting relationship then you have to find people with the same goal. They are less likely to be idiots.

At times, it's not wise to criticize about something you do not have first hand experience with. Yes, it's possible to find some idiot sending you the wrong profile, but again, it can be successful for who online dating was meant for. Have you ever lied to your girl who trust you sooo much? We deceive people we know every day.

the world is full of freaks. some good some bad. the internet is just an easy place to find a lot of them. the statistics say 1/3 of ppl meet on line these days. i've not found mr right (only mr right now) so i can't say they work for everyone but i do know a few friends who have found they're soul mates. it is possible, when it's our time we'll find it

I met my boyfriend online actually we met on Myspace, and figured out that we both lived in the same city... I think that it is a good idea if the person dating lives in the same city/area as you, otherwise it is very difficult.
We then met at a mall a month after we met on MySpace, and have been dating now for 7 months... and we're still going strong.

It depends. I have had rotten luck with online dating, but I know someone who got married a few months back to someone he met online. I think it all depends on circumstance & the personalities of the people involved, like all dating does.

I totally agree with you. All of my experiences with dating sights have been bad. I have yet to even come close to finding anyone normal, not that anyone is normal......most of the people I have run across on on line dating sights or only there for one thing. A one night stand, or a friend with benefits. It is a place for people to prey on other people.
