I am a guy who is 33 and I am new to online dating sites. I’ve only tried one so far and it is free. It kind of seems like a real longshot for a guy though. My brother says that hundreds of guys flood women’s inboxes for dates. I don’t know, it just seems like there are more dudes than women on there. Seems like the odds aren’t in a guy’s favor.

I got out of a serious relationship a few months ago. I was madly in love & it ended suddenly and without warning as he was cheating. I’m coping and getting over it, but I had grown accustomed to having someone to come home to, snuggle with, & share stuff with. I miss it. I’m clearly not ready for anything serious right now but do like dating & getting that male attention. But at the same time, the situation with my ex has me kind of discouraged and put off by men as I thought I was going to marry this man and he turned out to be an a**hole. I’m considering checking out some online dating sites to help me get back in the game. But part of me thinks that’s just pathetic and for desperate people. Not to be conceited but I would consider myself a fairly attractive person inside and out (22, intelligent, 5’5″, 125lbs) & could go to the club & get some numbers but tired of that scene. Is online dating worth it or is it just desperate old guys looking to get lucky & what are good free sites? So I just got out of a 3 year relationship a couple months ago and I’m ready to move on with my life. I was actually interested in trying online dating. The only reason is I would like someone who shares the same interests as I do. My previous ex and I didn’t really share that many interests together. I would get involved with the things she liked but she never would attempt to get involved with things I liked. So I kind of would to find someone who is more like me. Plus I kinda wanna try online dating… It’s not fair, also it’s like saying that we have to pay in order to get a date or a girlfriend, it’s like online dating is like a prostitution service, and yet prostitution is illegal in the United States, that is kinda hypocritical. I am only registered with one online dating site, Plentyoffish, been using it since February, and I have not met anybody off of there yet, because the girls on there do not write back to me. So seriously, why do most online dating sites require a credit card or cash? why can’t they be 100 percent free? like not even a penny? It is very frustrating because I am not very outgoing, I am stuck at home all the time, not by choice though, it is because I have a hard time making new friends, like only one or 2 people call me, and they are sort of like me, they don’t know any other people they can introduce me to or set me up with, like I can’t meet new people through them, and we don’t fit in with the party scene, like we struggle to find parties and we are never invited to them. So it looks like the Internet is my only option, but seriously, why do we have to pay for online dating? I can only find clips and I don’t want to wait until the next air date. I was on my friends myspace profile and followed her link to Christianmingle.com. But i would have to be a paying member to email guys. I came to the conclusion that I may want to search online for a guy, since I am now looking for someone to consider marriage with. Are there any free dating websites where I do not have to pay to e-mail people? Online dating sites are a complete rip-off! Except for one site that I know of that is free (plentyoffish.com), all of the sites make you pay to be able to email someone (understandable), but the catch is that the person you are writing to has to be a paying “member” also. Similarly, on some sites, someone may write you, but unless you pay, you can’t even see the profile of the person who has an interest in you, let alone make a reply. So unless you sign up for some high cost, automatic-renewal-trap contract, you can’t respond to a person that has already paid to be able to speak to you. This situation basically makes online dating a complete joke. If a person pays a site to transmit their message to someone, then it should be made law that that message is delivered regardless of whether or not the receiver is a paying member. This practice is as assenine as having to pay to receive a call from someone…but at least cell phone providers are finally (slowly) coming around on that score |
