I used one for a while. I signed up on one of the free sites, went on a ton of dates and didn't like anyone. Then when I was about to give up and delete my account, I met someone amazing. I've been with him for a few months now lol

hell no...internet dating is scary.

Seriously, no I have never used a dating site but I know ppl who have. It is the same as meeting someone in a bar or at the grocery store. Some times it works out, some times it doesn't.

My experience with dating sites is, that it's just about sex.
Never ever about meeting someone for friendship and what have you.

I don't see anything wrong with it though. But I still prefer meeting someone somewhere in person and getting to know that person.

The thrills of easy-to-get-sex tend to get pretty boring quickly.
Besides..those fuckers never ever look like their pictures mad

I have and they r ok but got the sense that most of the guys who i got to talking to were all about the sex.

reason it went no further with one-

one said he was going out with his pals but hed drop them to go out with me that night, forget it, if he is gonna drop his pals for a chick whats to say he ain't gonna do that to me one day.

The worst date I ever had came from a dating site. That’s the guy who outed himself as a racist homophobe within about 20 minutes. confused

They’re fine for what they are, I just don’t personally like them. I’ve signed up a bunch of times and more often than not end up deleting my profile without ever responding to anyone. lol

Mon's sister had come out of a pretty nasty divorce and not thinking straight got into one of those dating sites and ended up going away to the beach for a few days with some American dude called Brad. He seemed like a nice guy, got them two separate rooms (she wouldn't have gone otherwise, she's a good Christian girl) but she called us up a day into the trip saying he was being creepy, pressuring her to have sex with him. Turned into a real nightmare for her. She ended up just staying in her room the whole time.

Ya, and I found it scary. Creepy dudes from other countries begging to fly you half way across the country and give you gold was not my idea of cool.

Oops, I mean halfway around the world, not country. D'oh!

She did ask, and I was reluctant. I didn't know the site would be quite what it is though. My sister in law and her Swiss husband are the ones in the other pics and she wasn't happy about it at all when she saw some of the female members' galleries. lol

It just came off as rich dudes shopping for wives. So gross.

I don't think I ever talked to someone who was local.

Both times I signed up I deleted within a week. I had no interest in talking to people who were not in my city.

It's strange - I hear this from so many people, but it really hasn't been the casee in my experience.

There are definitely guys who are just looking for a quick hook-up, and that isn't my thing so I just don't go there. I have always met others however, who were interested in friendship or more. Even on the 'sex-heavy' sites such as Gaydar, I've met men who were really quite nice.

I guess we all put our best pictures up, don't we? It would be counter-intuitive not to. I was thinking the other day of putting up a crap picture on a site so that when I meet someone they would be pleasantly suprised! biggrin

In summary, I have found dating sites no different to real life. There are a lot of men who are playing a whole different game from me. There are a few who are on the same page. And there might be the odd one every now and then with whom something clicks.

True.
I guess I once thought of it as nice and exciting but to be honest, not looking forward sifting through a lot of fuckwits before finding someone who's actually nice and interesting.

I've never tried any, but I've been wanting to lately!

I live in a small town... great 4 couples, not so great 4 singles.

Depdning on your situation, it can be very useful.

I live in London, but I don't spend a lot of time in bars and clubs anymore and I have very few gay friends to 'network' through. Most of my friends are straight couples so I just don't meet any gay men.

The internet means that I don't have to go off to gay bars alone in the hope of meeting someone, which I would find a lot more 'creepy and weird'

I guess I'd have more chances with a gay couple than a straight one. Or so you'd think...
