Has anyone really had any luck with online dating?
Myself really thinks it's a huge joke. You set up a good profile, put on nice pictures. Send out countless number of emails and, no one ever replies back. I find females are WAY to picky on there. Also 98% of them are over weight and, ugly as sin lol. I am not a bar or club person. And honestly I have had better luck in them kinds of places. I have also started to begin to think, everyone on them sites are robots lol. Usually if someone sends you a sweet message. You would think they would reply. Even if they aren't interested saying "sorry I am not interested but, good luck!"
If anyone else is having trouble. I say just go back to the old fashioned way. Every time you do a search. I am sure you always see the same faces. It is never anyone new. Just the same lamers lol. It does get degrading after awhile. So basically online dating is useless. This is off a free site, I'd never pay one red cent. Online dating isn't worth a damn thing to me. So overall it's hard to consider, what it really is.

i think you are getting it right with online dating sites. indeed, many girls out there are posers with some attitudes. it is never too late to go to the old-fashioned way of knowing and meeting girls. family and friends' connections and networks. they know better for you. talk to these people and they will lead you to a good choice. wishing you the best.

I would love to give clubs another try. I had no problem walking right up to the females at the tables. The only problem was, you can't have a conversation with them. The music is so loud even screaming in each others ear, you still can't make out what they are saying. And it's a shame really. I think that ruins it for a lot of guys or gals. If I am trying to meet someone. I would really enjoy being able to get a good conversation going. Then if all goes good. I can go to the second step, which is getting their number. It seems like all the clubs and bar, have the music blasting.

Finding a gf in the club or pub in my country (vietnam) is not good since good girls won't go to pub/club regularly, if they go there, they go in group and just stay in a short time only.
Sometime i go to club/pub with friends but i have no idea to see men in there, since it is not good environment to find bf/gf

Hi hotwheels,
With advent of internet, chat messengers, chat rooms and then lots of social friendship sites like facebook, myspace, orkut etc, world has become very small and people meet online who otherwise wont ever meet. A friend of mine fell in love with an American girl this way and she always played behind his back and one day she begged him so he sent her money and she was gone after that. So one should never go in for online dating. It is recipe for disaster and if you are emotional person then it is no place for love at all.

you are absolutely right. But all are not like this. There are like me too who are genuine. who has understanding and know the importance of relation. Though you got friend on online. But will respect and maintain valuable relation of best friend. It is necessary to know him/her from his or talk, age, & status.

Hot wheels,
It is never a good idea to find love online. For every successful love online there are atleast 100 those who got stabbed in back. It is always best to find a girl from your back ground and one you know or atleast whose your family know or you know of her family. Those who look so good online usually are even better than using you and then throw you out of their life when they have used you enough.

I have two college classmates who are now happily married (at least that's how they claim) to their man whom they found in online dating sites so sometimes it works. It's true, there're lots of crap in online dating sites but those who have succeeded finding their good match really were lucky and somewhat daring. It's not very easy especially for the girls to engage themselves into interracial marriage though.

How about going to church and finding a decent, wholesome, faithful woman at a church? Bars and clubs are not the only place to find women. If you are looking for someone who is honest and will be committed, then you need to look in the right places.
What kind of person are you looking for? And therefore, what kind of person is she looking for? Will she find the right person when she finds you?
Do you do any sports or have any hobbies? My uncle found his love when he joined a hiking club. She had joined this hiking club and they met when they were both on the same hike. A few years later, they had an outdoor wedding. So, there are places in the 'real' world in which to find the right kind of woman that you are really looking for. Just got to look in all the right places.

Hi,
Online dating relatively recent phenomenon which mainly emerge on internet site.The idea of love and marriage could be very scary since sexes involves dont know each others well.Racial,religious and cultural differences are some factors why online dating should not practice.Yes i agree with you the traditional way is much better for it is always the women who put at risk when the relationship broke up in online dating.

I have not known anyone who has really known someone through internet websites and through online dating. I really think that this rarely works. sometimes it might have success stories, but only for a given number of people, and its always trial and error especially nowadays that its quite not safe for everyone to be up and about meeting new people online as we cannot really know people all that well over the net only.

Online dating is not baby and I am not interested also. During our time online dating was not their, our was the direct way of dating. Online dating dating is the new concept that is being come into existence recently after internet has been launched. To go for online dating or not I can say it is one choice. But I can say in Online Dating Risk involved is more, so one has to very much careful

well, it depends on your luck...
I have my profile but what i posted on my profile is me, is what i am. i don't post only nice pictures, i don't leaves nice words or describe nice things about myself....and i put clearly that i want to make friends only, not finding bf.
All friends met me in person are surprised to see me outside because i look much younger than my real age and no difference with me in my pictures..
I know not many people are honest to make their real profile on the internet...but there is, right?
In my opinion, internet is just a channel helping you have more chance to know and meet many people, and then after meeting, you can think of dating or not....

I did have luck online to find love. But that was also 9 years ago now. My husband and I met in a chatroom actually. Lol. He liked my username and we had talked, online and over the phone. We never saw each other in pictures or anything, until the day we met in person a few months later. At that point looks no longer mattered, we loved each other.
We have been together for 9 years and married for almost 8 years now! =)
Like I said that was a long time ago though. But it definitely worked for us! I am glad I met my soul mate. And I really hope you find yours soon too! =)

Yes, there are people who became successful in online dating. But most of the people who chose this kind of dating failed. I agree that when you communicate online, you have to face the reality that most of the people you will meet are fake, undesirable, and a lot more. You need to use your wisdom in dating online. some sites are free to use by anyone while other sites require you to pay. I think it is safer to register on sites with pay than in free sites as there are many fake persons in free sites.

Maybe there are legit sites that can be trusted and be able to find a mate. These are very limited websites and more often than not there are more scammers and posers. You can't really find true love in dating sites. It's better to find it in social gatherings.

Hi friend, i am not interested in online dating, as well as don't give importance to this kind of sites. Mostly online dating sites are interested in getting more money from the members, they will give the contact details of the person after upgrading our account with them which is not good for us, as well as most of the persons are using fake information in dating sites, we must be very careful with online dating
