Internet Dating

What do you guys think of internet dating? Do you think it is stupid? Do you think it is pointless? Is it too dangerous for you?

Personally it has worked for me so far. I have met a lot of people who are now friends or who I have dated through the internet.

What are some good internet dating sites? I have only used these and they are not the best but they seem to work.

I have used

www.faceparty.com
www.lavalife.com
www.hotornot.com

You just have to be very careful when doing it I feel. If the person looks psycho chances are pretty good that they are.

Do any of you have any experiance in any of this stuff? ( I am guessing NO because there are so many young members here. But I thought I would ask this anyway)
 
Those are less about dating than about vanity. Match.com, e-hrmony.com, those are dating sites.

Edit: I assumed those were all picture rating sites. My mistake.
 
Ive meet people who i am friends now, but i will never seriously date anyone online, sry i dont like 50 year old pedifiles, not my type


well if it worked for u thats cool and good luck for anyone who tries
 
Have any of you ever played inklink on shockwave.com? Everyone is always having cyber sex. One time I tried doing it with three different girls ot once.

Cyber sex? So you jacked off while you talk to three strangers? My hero.:odd:
 
Ummm.. yeah
So, shut up now before you get this closed.

I am really just looking for more sites, I am having trouble finding some new ones. I just love to meet new people.

I don't like online dating beacause there are so many unknowns.
Ilike it better than blind dates though. Through the internet you can actually get a chance to chat to these people before you meet them. You can get to know them before you even get to see them. I find it kinda interesting to meet these people and get to know them and then see them.
When you FINALLY meet them it is strange because you are meeting this person for the first time in your life but you allready know so much about them and they are like a best friend.
I think if you do it right and do it carefully it can be really fun.
 
friendster is good, i use it to connect to friends, tons and tons of girls..
& my classmates from highschool are friends with my cousins
 
I've never dated anyone I met over the internet, don't know if I would. Got quite a few friends who I initially met via local forums - Giles, a golfing mate, a couple of running friends. Caught up with a long lost high school mate I hadn't seen in 14 years via a schoolfriends website. Great tool to come across people with common interests.
 
well, I must say that I met the love of my life and the woman who will be my wife on the internet. not on a date room, but on a forum about anime. it satrted as a game, as "internet lovers" just to have fun. the we started talking in private (icq :P) and found out we lived in the same city, just half an hour away. we continued treating each other and fell in love incredibly quick. we were net lovers for some 5 months before we met in person (in these 5 months we never saw each other's photo, because we wanted it that way) so, when we finally met, love just grew. we were each other's type, and well, since than, its been a good 2years and seven months and a complete life in the future. and, it was strange and cool because neither of us were looking for it, it just happened. it was like meant to be.
well, that was my story ^^

Great story:)

Thats the kind of stuff I am talking about. You CAN meet partners on-line and fall in love. I have heard people say it is not possible to fall in love but i disagree with that completly.
 
dont know bout lava life etc... I've used ( succesfuly) the various ninemsn chat pages where i have met quite a few ppl including my lovely cheryl with whom I am currently very happily residing and have been doin so for the past 2 and a bit years... and am likely to do so for a long time.
I'd never mock internet dating after meeting cheryl there.
lets face it, if you meet sum1 online then you already have something in common with them :)

warning tho. things can go wrong. I've seen it happen.
caution is the way to go ...

thanks bud, we will be happy, youll see.
as for meeting cool people, even the love of your life, well, yeah, it is true. I was very exceptic about it, and I say VERY, but look at me now. its the internet I owe my life to this. haha, irony is sometimes really heavy on one life, but hey, Im not complaining.

hey, I am glad to read that Ving!! I hope you and Cheryl do well in the future, dude. meeting someone special like this is in itself so speciall, its hard to believe. its cool that Im not the only weird dude who has met someone special over the internet! way to go man!
 
Ahh, the internet. If you can truly meet your significant other online, I think that is wonderful... I was so close, but I guess it didn't work out. I agree that internet "dating" is better than blind dates, since you can get to know someone first. Also, if you could do it without exchanging pictures at first, then more power to you. Internet dating allows for deeper relationships, rather than shallow ones based on appearance. If this isn't your thing, that's all right. If it is, then you're in for a few treats, and also an equal amount of disappointments.
 
I'm not against it per se. I will, however, say that there seems to be a huge social stigma attached to forming relationships, whether sexual or not, over the internet.

If that's something that doesn't bother you, or if your own social circle does not have an issue with it, then you're OK to proceed. Otherwise, you should consider whether the social stigma that you may encounter would put an unacceptable pressure on any relationship that arose from internet dating.

Other than that, I think that you should get to know someone in a public forum for a while before meeting them. It can be very difficult to maintain a false persona for a long time, and so the longer you know someone, the more likely you are to fully understand their nature.
 
I met someone from the North Island of this country through www.emode.com personals.

I haven't exactly met her in real-life but we've been talking for months on MSN messenger and she's the only person i've talked to on the phone who i've met on the Internet. :)
 
Personally I don't see the point in internet dating.
I mean, if you can get friends the nromal way, you should go with that. I gues if you don't have any friends at all it wouldn't be as bad, but, I don't know...
 
Well i have no friends whatsoever in real life (apart from one who only usually comes around every few months if he needs something) so the internet is where i talk to people most.
 
I've met some Dutch people through hotornot.com who are now pretty good friends of me.

I don't have any experience with dating on the internet, but i do believe someone can find their true love on the web.
 
I dunno, internet dating just sounds corny for my age...
But I got Jenn now so I dont have to worry.:D maybe in the nearby future ill use it.
 
When I was 16 I met two girls(17, and 19) in California. I'd been talking to them for two years prior to meeting them. They were both best friends, and unbelievably attractive. I flew down there with some friends, and had a fun two weeks with all of them.

I don't see myself meeting a girlfriend/wife on the internet, though. It's like marrying a convicted felon currently behind bars - not something I ever want to do. Meeting a friend is alright, but nothing more than that(Okay, one night stands at most!).
 
I have played the same game too, although I shouldnt call it just a "game". Nothing bad though. The only different thing is that girls are way more affective chatting on the internet rather than doing it on the phone, and I dont mean cybersex, it is just the choice of words they use to talk to you.
