sites really working? There's some great people here with great personalities, some not so great too, but then that's a given with any "community". From all you hear, even tho there's thousands and thousands of people on them, the success rate is minimal. What do you think the is the biggest problem?

Distance is a factor. I agree.

There are two distances involved.
1. How far will I go to meet them?
2. How far will they go, to meet me?

If the answer to either part is near zero, then I would say that distance is not the problem.


I wondered too..because most larger cities have a singles network of some kind...ie..parents w/o partners, the personals in the newspapers, one of the radio stations in Charlotte sponors a party once a month just so singles can meet. Except for those who don't have access to any other way, then using the internet and not being successful isn't just about the distance.

I tend to agree that it's more out of fear or for those who use it just to see if "they got it going on". Some simply want to make friends and that's great too. But for finding that ONE..regardless if it's a paid site or a free site, compared to the people on them and to those who find their match, it's a very small amount.


When I play pool, a few nights each week, I have a lot of fun and good times than if I look for a date.
The reality of being out and about is unequaled with online 'wish list' chatter.
Since I moved to Alaska, my work hours run into the late evening, which kills a social life.
That's why I am on here.
When I had a regular 9-5 job, and I lived near a place that featured live bands 3 nights per week, and had pool tables and gambling machines and a good kitchen menu, I never even considered being on one of these sites. Why would I? Life was good. drinker bigsmile :banana:

i don't know that they're not working

maybe they're just not working for you


i see all sorts of people who seem to be in relationships directly from meeting online.


Excellent point. Lots of people get together on dating sites. If you look at the "testimonials" board on the Plenty of Fish site, for example, you will find people making posts there every day about how they have found someone they can worship/shag/move in with/marry. I don't think this site has a testimonials board but casual observation seems to indicate that people DO hook up here.

I think the biggest problem, maybe, is a personal one: You are sour on internet dating sites for whatever reason and trying to discourage others from having a good time...? Misery loves company, ya know.

A lot of people don't do anything or notify anyone when they get together with someone they met on a dating site; they just ignore or delete their account and go on with their happy relationship. If they don't log on for awhile they don't come up in search results, and if someone does contact them they don't answer the message.

People who are discontented, however, tend to make a lot of noise about how discontented they are. "Why am I lonely?" "Why do I get lied to so much?" "What is the largest computed prime number?" (Ok, I made that last one up; I was just reading about that today I guess they've found a prime number with over 13 million digits! Hell yeah!)

Er, anyway: If you have statistics to back up what you're saying, that would be oh, so cool. I know that my expectations are more than met by internet social sites, but I'll admit that I'm not looking for dates--I'm seeking entertainment and I'm ALWAYS entertained by the internet.

Every so often I meet someone really awesome, too! glasses yours in Chaos, Scarlett


First of all it was ONLY a generalized question, it, I did not anywhere post anything about MY personal experiences or LACK there of. It was simply a question where I wanted someone else's opinion!
