As i browse through some paid to click sites which i am a member of i notice few ads promoting online dating and meeting friends on every corner of the globe. Some even promote earnings percentage for every new member you can refer to join. The idea looks exciting and with all the online earnings opportunities now, many people joined on this site either to look for a mate or to look for new friends they can convince to join to the programs they are a member of. I see nothing wrong with these sites in fact they promote socialization and although the utmost benefits might not be for us, we cannot deny the fact that these social networks had been part of our online life, most of our referrals came from these sites right? most of my mylot referrals in fact came from one site i am a member of, i now have 14 referrals and although most of them are not active, still the fact remains that they joined under me and they joined not because they know me personally but because they have seen my name on some social sites. what social network have you joined already, do you like that network or you see it as a trash? do you think social networks help us?

It depends on what do you want from these sites.If its only friends you are looking for than its fine, but if you want some quality people or things that matter you its hard to find. Now when I say that I don't mean they don't exit. I myself am the member of many such online communities and I gained a lot being a part of it. Moreover I love discussing weird things with complete strangers.

i am a member of some online communities too but sometime i wonder if the people were talking too are real, i mean they are human but do they really meant what they are saying to you? are they really sincere with their words?

Sincere, I guess never.Its hard to be sincere with people you are daily confronting then how can you expect someone from unreal online world to be sincere with you. Even if few of them are sincere or true it is dangerous to go beyond a point. NB: Did I understand the point you want to make

I think internet can be one more choice to find a friend or a spouse. It's nothing wrong about it. Of course at first you have to be honest and therefore you can expect the same from others. I've made very good internet friends via the net.

Hello dear dimarion. I like the network as it can bring us a lot of helpful information. I also value online friendship, but I have never thought of online dating with anyone. But if it happens to be possible that I have got the chance to see the other party within the time available, I would be happy to for friendship. By the way, it is so nice that you have got many referrals from those social network. I hope that you will get more referrals in the time to come. Good luck.
