I was married before the online sites came on the scene, but no, I don't think that they're for losers. i do think that you have to be careful about how you go about it, where you meet, and what kind of information you give out. However, I don't think there is anything wrong with giving it a try. Not for losers at all. Not trying is for losers. Go for it! I wish you luck (and as I said, just be careful/smart about it.)

The site isn't a loser. Some of the people are but in todays cyber world it is becoming more excepted as the years go on. I would say no. Allot of lonely people are out there and have no way of getting in touch with others. Who wants to find their wife at a bar. I am still young so I don't use them but I would if I were older and didn't have much time to go partying with friends.

No, not really. In our business and internet world it can be an effective venue to meeting people. There are many aspects of it that are both attractive and unattractive.

If one meets one online that is genuine, it could be a good thing. However many people are not honest and in that respect it is not. One has to interact with the online person and decide for them self if the person they are interacting with is a probable match.

While many people are using the internet for faltering motives; it is possible that they are genuine in nature.

I think online dating has really changed over the past few years and has become a norm..... I met my boyfriend of 4 years online and aslo have friends who are engaged to people they met online.
So no, I don't think online dating is for losers.... it's just an easy way to meet people-- but you need to be careful becuase you're meeting strangers!

In general terms, it is not the best of things to go online for dating and those who turn to it probably have drawbacks and problems best known to themselves. Further becuase it is online and therefore you do not know what you are dealing with, you do get a lot of falsehood and untruths given to you. That means that you do get not the best of the bunch. Especially so with relationships which is not like buying things online. So I think if you can help it, dont bother doing it online unless, like those who are online, a bit of dry with their normal way of getting to find a partner. Do reconsider.

no, not necessarily. i've never enrolled in one myself but i can say this much, you're going to get a whole bunch of different people, 'losers' or not, both online and in real life. maybe those who try online services have less of a social life than those who don't. then again, maybe they don't. people have their reasons. maybe some have failed miserably in initial physical relationships because of their partner, so they've decided to give the online thing a shot. some do it for sexual gratification.

you never really know.

I don't think so, it is just hard to meet people after you are out of school and don't do the bar scene. It is like everywhere else though, you will find some losers.

The first and foremost advantage of online dating is that it requires very few resources: a computer, an Internet connection, and time. You just have to position yourself among the available and be in touch with like-minded singles. It is therefore accessible to anyone and anywhere.

Since it is accessible from anywhere and anytime, you really do not have to scrub up yourself and make it on time to make that first impression. You can do so from the comfort of your bed or dinning table or in a messy family area. No fear of being rejected or getting embarrassed. In fact if you feel that you are not that good looking, you can impress the opposite sex with your witty emails and thoughtful replies.

The net makes things simpler. Online dating offers you the freedom, flexibility and time to pick and choose who you want to date. Online Services allows you to search thousands of singles and discover the best matches for yourself. Take a breeze through some of the profiles on a large dating site and you will be surprised at the sheer variety of people who are actively looking. From Lawyer's to lumberjacks, everybody seems represented.

Posting a profile on the dating sites is a major advantage to the method of introduction. Profiling allows users to limit their search to include those matching the criteria that are absolutely vital in their future partner. Criteria such as location, age, etc. can be accurately limited.

While dating online, schedules and geography are no limitations. Many online dating services provides the facility of limiting searches to driving distances. They gives the options to select regions, areas, countries throughout the world. So you can find your best match from any part of the world without even leaving your room.

Other than the advantage of sheer number of people you have access to online, you also have the advantage of having variety of ways to interact with these people. The various internet dating sites provides a wide range of services and features chat rooms where conversations can range from favorite movies to common internet dating experiences; and interactive unique games where you can play with that special someone to spark that online dating connection. Some of them also have advanced features like voice/video greeting. With features like these you stand a far better chance of finding that special someone than you would by placing a 5 line letter in a newspaper personals or in the social parties.

With online dating, you are not restricted to just conversing with one person. Keep interested in several people and get to know them via email before committing to that first phone conversation, or first date.

The relative cost of meeting someone online versus those of more conventional methods is advantageous enough to warrant its own heading. Most of the dating services provide free membership to begin with. You can even post your personals free of charge. Even when its paid membership, it is not very expensive.

The internet dating has another major advantage of overcoming the fear of rejection. While rejection can still be painful online, an e-mail with "I’m sorry, I’m not interested"--or none at all--is much easier to receive than in-person rejection. The risks of saying the wrong thing are also lessened, and disgust returned over an e-mail or instant message requires much less self-esteem recovery than a look of disgust, slap in the face, or other potentially nasty face-to-face public display.

The last but not the least and most important one advantage of online dating is safety. Given the anonymity of the Internet and the tools provided with most online dating services to limit undesirable contact, safety must be recognized as a significant advantage to online dating over many traditional means of meeting partners.

So, I think it is not a site for loser but an arbitrary understanding to cope up with the fast pace technologies and yet it will also, help you decide if you want to set for a real date when time comes.

Everyone has their opinion on it I think it's probably better to meet someone in person at least if you get nothing out of it your out of the house right either way it's stressful and a major pain in the butt.
