what similarities and differences do you notice between the two when looking for someone special? Online is a lot colder. You can't hear a persons tone or watch their body language. curious....you say that is cold? I guess I can see that point of view. I know it's hard to tell emotions etc online |

True neither am I but figuring people out is the hardest thing to do.. Whatever you think is usually just an opinion b/c you cna never truly know what's in someone's head soooooooooooooooooo it's not uncommon to be at a loss for words in this type of situation.. 
  THATS A LIE,,,
AND YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!
 YOU KNOW I HAVE NOTHING IN MY HEAD!!!!
I wasn't going to tell everyone... I think we've all experienced people that haven't been honest but I think we've also ALL experienced people that were.. I think some people forget about them b/c they weren't interested... It's easy to say "everyone is fake" when you're not finding what you want or you've wanted someone that was fake but reality is they're no more fake or real online or in real life.. A person in real life can lie through their teeth, how does that make them different from online? It doesn't.... Psssst,,,I took evelyn woods reading eyes as truth course twenty years ago,,,, THEY,,,NEVER LIE,,,wink,

I dont really see a difference, its just an initial introduction, after that there still needs to be contact and courtship(at least for me there does). In the meantime though, I think its a good way to find out if you can actually communicate about anything of substance as opposed to just giggling and making flirty eyes over a dinner because you are attracted to each other. I think on these sites, if you pay attention to peoples posts, you can find out alot about the person underneath in ways that may not happen for a while when people are 'dating' and trying to impress.

I really agree with this. The body language is important, so is the tones of voice etc. I met one man that seemed really cool online but was not so cool in real life. I met another that was just ok online but turned out to be really cool in person. Complicated. |

what similarities and differences do you notice between the two when looking for someone special? i believe it's more difficult to find a physical connection dating online. you don't have too much to go by except a photo, and they are usually only blurry and/or old. in the 'real life', physical attraction (for me anyway) is built upon getting-to-know someone and it develops as the general interest grows. i've found that men expect an instant spark and/or immediate chemistry and it's very difficult to achieve that online, or with one quick meeting. |

what similarities and differences do you notice between the two when looking for someone special? The biggest difference between online and real life is, in real life women will reply when you say hello. You can get some kind of dialog going. |

ok....so this brings up a question (and I'm being sincere about this question too) why do you suppose some people think it should be easier online and expect an instant date. Why would people think being online is like a magic wand? I think there's an underlying concept along the lines of "Wow, if I get on line, I'll have access to so many more people!" Which is true, if we're talking strictly statistics. The downside is that 99% of the previously-inaccessible people are too far away to do anything with, and the remaining 1% are either crazy or wouldn't know the truth if it bit their foot off. |

For me the differance on line,is I base a lot on what their profile states. When typing back and forth, you tend to get a grasp if they are truly the same based on their profile.As for old pics etc.I have a web cam I use only to prove who I am,that takes about 2 mins, with a cam i'm same person.So the ones who think different, shows i'm honest.NOT using it for anything more(meaning cybering sexually).
As for real, what you see is what you get,bit harder to see if there is a hidden agenda in mind. Both take weeks, maybe months of time invested, if your on same page what your looking for. |

I agree with the statements about more communication when you meet someone online. There is much more exchange of information about oneself due to the lengthy email conversations. It's easier to spend more time getting to know someone before the physical contact comes into play.

Definitely agree with this. I have found that people who say "I just can't communicate through email" can't actually communicate in real life to my satisfaction. But, I probably require a good deal more communication than many to make me happy. |

Online dating is easier for someone with a hectic schedule.

I've been doing this online thing for more years than I can remember. I've sent out hundreds of messages saying hello, being funny, commenting on something I read in the profile, insults, poems, sending e-gifts and I get almost no replies.
However, in real life I can go out most any night of the week, talk to 20 or so attractive women and come home with several phone numbers an often a new girlfriend! I think the real difference is face to face, a woman knows how to test a man to discover if he's for real or not. These "tests" may not even conscious on her part. But, if a guy passes, it's on in a big way. Online she doesn't have the tools she needs (being able to see how her reacts) to form an opinion either way. So, she makes him wait. If he pushes too hard, she drops him. If he doesn't push hard enough, she drops him. Maybe in a few 1000 years evolution will catch up to online dating. But, for now we're really better off getting out of the house. |
