I disagree big time with you, but it's just my opinion. Its not awkward telling people that I've met the most wonderful man online, nor was it awkward the first time we met. We've been together 9 months now, and have this site to thank!

Most of us don't meet people online through a chemistry that is really only found face to face so it's far more often a miss it's funny that you should mention this as a reason to dislike online dating, as it's one of the biggest positives in my opinion. i find that attraction and interest isn't something that occurs for me instantly, but rather is built up over time. whenever i've had a date, if that initial chemistry isn't there, the guy automatically assumes disinterest on my part, and fails to ask for a second date. online dating offers a chance to get to know each other prior to actually meeting and allows that attraction to grow. |

You've been a member since 5/07/07 and your very first post is about how you hate online dating. I find this very ironic to say the least.  I find it kind of creepy....

One and Done,
See ya son. I'll stick around and have some fun. I ain't met a one from this Mingle site, but if the chattin' is good, I'll stay all night. It has helped with ladies face to face, to give them some room, a little more space. I've been kicked to curb but I still get lucky... You should deactivate if you think its that sucky.   |

Oh I did date a lot online and because I wanted to get a good feel for it. I couldn't make a judgment if I had only met one or two people online. I guess I'm just leaning towards meeting people in person now after having experienced both worlds.
Certainly, if this works for you, don't stop. This is just one man's opinion. |

Let me also say that even though I've been a member of this site for a long time, I definitely haven't been active on this site for that long, not by a long shot. I, like most people, have had girlfriends and long periods of time when I wasn't on any online dating sites.

This is just one man's opinion. isn't the goal of online dating to actually meet the other person in real life? or are you talking about people who carry an online relationship for years without ever meeting? |

2 dozen? WOW, you are a pro! (NOT) If you are ashamed to say you met someone online, get offline. I should make myself more approachable? And just where is this place I should be approachable? Look, I'm not ashamed to meet someone online. I've met 3 girls who I was in a very happy relationship with online. From a man's point of view, there was something kind of disappointing about introducing myself to one of her friends and having them ask "Where did you two meet?" and then saying, "on a dating website." I'm sure they didn't think it was really that weird but it certainly felt like I took as little risk as possible when meeting her. It didn't damper the relationship. Every time I had to say I met her online I wished that I could have been more outgoing and took a chance with some more real emotional consequences. |

So, where are we supposed to stop wearing sunglasses that you say make us seem unapproachable? Outside? In the sun?  ... It's just an example, no need to look to much into it. |

you bring up very good points sir.....why should we all just talk to people and get to know them even though they are hundreds to thousands of miles away??
it is much more difficult in the aspect of distance....but it is also much easier just to chat with people and maybe meet someone cool.....you shouldn't hate internet dating, you should hate the way you go about it some people go into these sites thinking that they will solve their dating problems and all of that....when actually you should just get on here to meet some cool people and have some fun just my opinion though |

I met my Boyfriend on Plenty of Fish, we have been dating for a year and a half and he is everything I was looking for and More. Meeting someone on the internet is no different than meeting someone up town or what not. |

Online dating/friendship gives me an opportunity to meet people I wouldn't otherwise meet, especially with my busy schedule.....
there are no guarantees, so my expectations are simple..... I've enjoyed both my dating experiences & friendships |

Well really does it matter where you meet them? As long as two people get along I don't see were that should be a problem. Actually online you tend to find out more about what the person likes or dislikes and at times you decide you don't want to meet them after all. Many times the ones that take the time to really get to know them they end up forming a bond that is only enhanced when they meet.
Sure there is no guarantee but there are no guarantees in life its self. For some online is not the answer understandable. But in no way can one form the opinion it is not the answer for others. We are all different and only we can decide what is right for us. So if it is not your thing then do what is right for you and sure everyone else will do what they feel comfortable at. I have no problems telling anyone that I meet somone online if I did I would not be here!

A man on a dating site is almost certainly doomed to an inevitable hell. Think about it. By signing up for this site, every man and woman here is showing that they have an agenda. I'll be honest, I don't believe girls when they say "oh, I just wanted to make some friends" and then proceed to post the most attractive pictures they can find on what happens to be a <em>dating</em> website. When I joined the site, it was called "Just say hi"... That was all I wanted to do...Just to say "HI". I have been out of the dating world for 7+ years. I joined to become acquainted with different people and catch up on the conversations I had been missing all these years. It was my way of easing back into society. The information I have gathered since joining the website has been quite disappointing.  I don't think it unfair or uncommon for people to go visit the “better looking photos” on this site- I mean, the initial attraction has to be there...right?  I continue coming to the site for the conversation. I am a single mom, Widow and I keep to myself... The guys that bump into me at my sons’ school are teachers or already married. I don't go out to clubs, bars or parties to meet people. I can honestly say I don't expect to meet the man of my dreams on the site...But I am extremely thankful for the information I have gathered. Were it not for all of the conversations and topics coming from different points of views, someone could have caused some real damage in my life. I never knew things were this bad/hard out there.  |

i kind of like that they have the possibility of meeting anyone in the world, and they picked me. only thing that i dont like about online dating... is that they never pick me.
i dont think you should be ashamed by it though. most of the people who meet in high school, college, or at work, are because they have limited options, and thats the best out of that area...
