I'm stumped. Why are there 18 and 19 year olds on here? Even 21? At that age, the furthest thing from my mind would have been a dating site- if they existed then (no comments from the peanut gallery please  ) Has society gotten that lazy that they want dates to come to them? At 18 I could stay up until 5 and go to work @ 9 for days and never have to recoup, so they can't say they don't have the time. What is it? The same can be said about older people as well. Society doesn't have an age.  Personally, I don't go out, I don't like to go out. It has nothing to do with being lazy, but moreso a convenience, an option that far outweighs that of the local pub or arcade. That and the fact that I didn't start here looking for a date, I started here for friends, funny, how some of you forget that option... I wasn't singling you out , I'm here for the same reason. I work on my feet 5-6 hours a day and when you get older, it really does make you tired like you had done 16 hours. I understand that this far outweighs the bar scene but a 18 year old- looking for the love of their life? How many people at that age really know life? or love? Even now it surprises me at times. I wasn't trying to critisize anyone, just was wondering and hoping someone could come forward of that age and give some insight. Maybe I was a little harsch, apologies.

It just sounds like you're making excuses as to why you should be here, but the younger people shouldn't. Anyone has the right to be here and meet people this way. Being older doesn't give you a better reason for being here. |

Perhpas. They need to get off their arse's tho, we have become the 'fattest' country on the planet from all the sitting living in the WWW That can be said about anyone, not just the younger crowd. Yes, you're absolutely right. |

A lot of the people on dating sites are socially challenged. They just don't know how to go out and chat someone up. So, they try this. I'm sure all of us know at least one person that has a VERY hard time talking to the opposite sex. On a site like things usually happen slower and you have a bit more time to put your thought together.
The truth is that online dating is really much harder (at least for me it has been) than going out and meeting women the old fashioned way, in bars. |

I'm stumped. Why are there 18 and 19 year olds on here? Even 21? I'm guessing it's because they can't find babysitters to watch their kids. |

I asked my niece (20) and son (19) if they would get on this site (due to this question)
They both said they don't have the time. They are both in college, full time, and work. When they aren't doing those 2, they want to relax or get out of the house. So I don't know the answer |

Sorry to say I feel that due to the computer more and more find themselves behind a screen instead of out within the real world. It is easier talking by computer or texting then it is in real life.
So when it comes down to it is it not the adult's fault for putting those things in front of our kids instead of getting them out in sports ect.... just another type of babysitter too many use with their kids as a means to keep them busy and in reality we are causing them not to interact with others face to face.... Kids now days at 7-8 have cell phones texting to their friends that are less then 50ft away sad but true....

When you get to be my age, I promise you will have a totally different take on things. Hope your day gets better

Kids now days at 7-8 have cell phones texting to their friends that are less then 50ft away sad but true.... At least they're still in touch that way. Parents needing 2 incomes, people afraid to let children walk to and from school, or anywhere, it is a tough world out there. I just thought back to that age and we were out for finding life and fun, discovering who we are. There are alot of people on here that young age, maybe they didn't get it from the parents because no one is around enough due to having to work and provide. |

I second that, although bars don't necessarily have to be the place to meet people. It can be any public place, club, social group, etc., where you are more apt to have things in common with other people (of the opposite sex). Bars could be the easiest for some, because in general, people come from all walks of life and are there to have a good time. A couple of drinks make people relax and lose their inhibitions a little, and many of the people you meet there are also looking to meet someone. Of course bars have their pit-falls, as well. |

As opposed to an older person looking for love? Again...the exact same thing can be said about anyone older. So now, explain to me...what is life really about? Love even? Because honestly, I think we are all about in the same boat with what it is all about...we don't really know, cause if we did, most of us wouldn't be here. Some I'm sure do, others haven't a clue. I didn't take it as you singling me out, I was just noting an observation.

If you meant it in a different way, perhaps word it a little differently next time. I'm having a great day, though. No need to assume otherwise.

You should have just left it at "other people," Lewis. Now you're going to have the gay community angry at you for stereotyping.

I think there are many people on sites like this who don't know how to deal well with the opposite sex in person. That can happen at any age. |
