On this site in particular or this site vs other free sties. Whenever I decide to visit this site there always seems to be next to no activity excluding the forums. I begin to wonder if this site has even a moderate success rate for meeting people or even making friends. I Feel that this site by default puts more emphasis on looks. what are your thoughts. I've met quite a few people from this site. Success? Well, that is on us I suppose. The site isn't a magic "I'll find a date!" website, you do still have to put work into it for it to work. No different than real life, except that people like to blame the website and/or administrators rather than accept that they themselves are the lazy party and the most at fault. I personally would like to blame George Bush and the producers of "American Idol."

i just went and looked at a bunch of women's profiles, the majority of them had 2 sentences in the about me section usually more about whet they are looking for. tell me how that gives us a better understanding on a potential match

I'm always working on my profile, adding and deleting stuff as my life changes. I also don't understand how we can even make a judgement on whether we want to communicate with a person based on just a few words. I try to be as open as I can without saying more than needs said up front.

As for success -- well, I've met 9 people from dating sites, and I would rank them the 2nd through 10th worst experiences of my life. Number One was being married....!! different perspectives i guess; personally i would have ranked the arsonist as the worst! i can't say that i've received many emails from this site but, then again, my profile isn't set up in a way as to encourage it. i've heard of many success stories of folk meeting up on this site and quite a few happy endings. |

I know of more than a few people who have met and dated, some even successfully, from this site. I am not holding my breath to meet anyone here, but it can't hurt to try.

None. I think statistics will show the chance of me finding something are very low.

I think if a person can't find a date in the real world then they prolly won't online either
getting on the internet isnt a magic wand its just like the real world only bigger |

Just learning more about the opposite sex makes the online experience successful.I now know that 92.3% consider themselves "down to earth" or "easy goin'".I guess those are good qualities but im looking for a leftist guerilla super model.smokin:

I think if a person can't find a date in the real world then they prolly won't online either getting on the internet isnt a magic wand its just like the real world only bigger (Off Topic) I had an aunt that lived in Texas. Longview. I'm ten years older that you. My uncle had an oil well down the road, just one. My aunt had plastic runners down the halls,and plastic covers over the sofa so it wouoldn't get dirty. I opened the fridge one day between lunch and dinner, and she slapped the door shut saying "We don't do that around here." She meant there was no eating between meals. They had a black guy that worked on the oil rig. My aunt told me--I don't know how the converstation went jerks as best as I could tell. Not to be rude, but how does that fit into this thread? |

I haven't had much of any luck with success with other online dating sites. I haven't had much in the way of luck with online dating on THIS site. Online dating sucks. |

now think back to their profiles and think about how detailed they were/ reflective of who they actually were This is a good point. I find that when there is a limited profile that the individual is not open and generally doesnt communicate well- or they aren't really serious about seeking a relationship. (I'm one to talk right now- I have just been here a day or two and haven't had time to edit my profile). I have been on other sites, and the general consensus is that there needs to be a general attraction first- meaning photos. Then, hopefully, the profile and interests, and what both people are looking for come into play. Yes--there is truth here, my profile sucks and i don't want to mess with it---just killing time till hunting starts. Does that make me shallow? |
