What's the biggest difference do you find between people who does online dating vs. people who never go online and tries to date without ever even try to chat or send mails etc, but instead goes to bars and just relies on luck in the outside world?

a hangover...

One has very high expectations, the other is just very high (on drink.)

Biggest difference for me is that, in real life, I always met people through friends. Doesn't really work with people on line, as far as I've seen, I guess because your friends on line don't have quite the same level of exposure to you, or they're too far away to be of much use for introductions.

I don't go to bars, and I wouldn't be interested in anyone who does, so I can't really address that particular methodology.

That would be a huge DITTO! Eeeeek!

The only thing that gets infected online is your computer

Meeting in bars is a no-no for me

It's a dark room full of meat. Lies. And lonely people looking to get laid

Online. ......didn't work for me!!

Most guys I've met in bars tend to be drunk. Which is why I stopped meeting guys in bars, as it's not a great way to start off anything.

Other than that, it's just preferences. I've met people both online and out in the real world to date.

the difference is you dont have to wait to see them they are right there in front of you in person

I prefer to meet men in church






















and then scare the hell out of them with my pentagram tattoo!

I've done both- and in my opinion- there really is no difference- its just the luck of the draw.

whether its in real life- bar, grocery store- whatever- OR the internet--its a crap shoot!!!

bad and good people found in both venues

In just one day of experience, I've already noticed two huge difference. I think the internet is a conduit for uninhibited speach, but trust is more easily built face to face. Definately a double edged.

I have to agree, but the bar scene isn't for me. Drunk chicks are silly.

I turn into a slut when I drink, so no drunk-meeting men for me.....

OMG NO!! say it ain't so!!! just teasing!

I believe if you expand your social circles in life you will increase your chances, that's been my experience anyway

lmfao~!!!!!

Another comparison is, in bars u don't have 2 sit and write a long profile about urself (and i guess ppl wud wonder just wot the hell u were doin), whereas online u depend on ur profile 2 attract the right person. Also, u don't have 2 meet in a drunken state wen online, but in a bar thats kind of the norm. lol

In my experience, most of the profiles I run across contain about 7 words -- "I don't know what to write here" -- or less.

As such, they really aren't worth anything insofar as providing information about a person, who they are, what they're looking for, interests, lifestyle, anything.

I use a person's forum posts as a better means of getting to know something about them. That's assuming they post in the forums, of course. If they don't, and if the profile is just a few blah blah blah drivel-laden cliches (or worse), I figure this isn't someone I'm going to care to know anyway.

I wish people WOULD take the time to say something substantial in their profiles, and a few do. But for most, it's just an exercise in vapidity and plagiarism.
