this funny article got me thinking about that:http://megasizzle.com/online-dating-tips…
I want to know that people go on online dating sites such as Yahoo Personals and Match.com or any other online dating site are a bunch of rip off. I used to go on Match.com and they charged me for a lot of money. I hate that. That’s why I decided to not to used this site anymore and just stick with MySpace.com and Friendster.com and keep in touch with people I know from high school and college. I think that people who go on those Online Dating sites are being ripped off cause you have to pay a lot of monye for the bill. And also they could lie about themselves about what they list on their profile. They could be married or be a jail convict. Do you think that sites like Yahoo Personals and Match.com are a waist of time for singles and also a rip off in which the bills you have to pay? I want to hear about it.

Has anyone here had experience with Match.com? Or any other dating site that gives you the option of looking for same-sex dates?
I’m a pretty old-fashioned girl who is just about petrified of the online-dating scene. I’m starting to sloowwwly look into it as an option for down the road. I’d like some feedback from people who have actually used such sites.
What site did you use? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? Did you meet some nice people? Would you recommend that site to someone else?
I’m looking for sites that aren’t highly sexualized… you know, the ones where everyone’s profile is focused on sex, and the pics are of people barely dressed? Yeah I don’t want those types of sites. Like I said, I’m old-fashioned.  Sex is good. Sex is great. Sex is just not my thing on the first date.
Thanks ahead of time for your answers.
ok so on one of the online dating sites..the question is…what are your 3 best traits that you offer a partner….here is my answer. How does it come across?
I think the best way to answer this question is through the eyes of those who know me best (friends/family) and while I can’t speak exactly for them, this is my best guess as to what they might consider my best traits. First, I have a warm and compassionate heart. Ok that sounds cheesy, but I grew up in a very close and loving family and have been able to carry that warmth with me in all the relationships I form. Second, I have a very strong sense of loyalty, honesty and dedication. While these are essential for a healthy personal relationship, they are values I have upheld in every aspect of my life. I guess the last one (boy this is tough!), is stability. I know that’s pretty generic, but I spent the better part of my 20′s studying/working towards certain career goals which have now given me a strong sense of emotional and professional stability. I truly believe that being happy outside of your relationship is a key element to being happy within one.
Usually people assume that if people are online dating that they are unattractive, but that is not always the case. Alot of people are shy, dont like going out to bars, are very busy or a number of reasons. I know that looks are not the most important thing, but there does have to be an attraction. Im sorry if i sound “shallow” or “vain”, but i personally do want someone who is attractive & if later i was to find out that the guy was a jerk, i would break up with him regardless of his looks, but like i said, at first there does need to be that attraction for me. Anyhow, i found this site where in my opinion every other man was gorgeous. Now that the attraction is there, what should i be carefull of? Does anyone have any tips? I have never tried online dating before & im not really into the computer/www world or at least not till recently. What are your experiences (if any) with the sort of thing or what you have heard from others?
For many of the millions of Americans who have tried online dating, it is an exciting new way to look for the partner of their dreams. But there are potential physical and financial dangers lurking, too.
Cat Hermansen said her experience with online dating took a terrifying turn when she invited a man she met online to pick her up at home for their first date.
“I told him to have a seat on the couch and I sat down beside him,” Hermansen said.
“And he pushed me back … and started pawing at me and everything, and what he didn’t know is that I could reach down and I pulled my gun out and I put it in his face right between his eyes.”
Hermansen said she feels she would have been raped if she didn’t have her gun.
“He jumped up and ran out the door — didn’t even say bye.”
Millions Look for Love Online, and Many Find It
The latest research finds more than 1,000 dating sites on the Web, and nearly 9 million Americans say they subscribed to dating Web sites during the last year, according to analysts at Jupiter Research.
A few, such as True.com, do background checks on subscribers, but most do not.
True.com is lobbying state legislatures for laws requiring background checks or at least clear warnings that users are on their own. But some executives of other dating sites say meeting people the old fashioned way isn’t any less risky.
“Dating that begins online is no more dangerous than dating that begins offline,” said Kristin Kelly of Match.com.
And, for many customers, using a dating Web site pays off.
“My experience was excellent,” said Sara Labowitz, who found her husband, David, through an online dating service. “I met the man of my dreams.”
Roses and Champagne for a Scam Artist
But experts warn online daters to look out for their financial as well as physical safety when using the sites.
After signing up for Yahoo.com’s dating service, Julia Abrantes received an e-mail from a potential suitor telling her, “I can promise you my everlasting devotion, my loyalty and my respect for a lifetime.”
A while ago I was on EHarmony and I had a series of phone conversations with a girl who I had a good rapport with. I asked her out for coffee and she said yes, but I never heard back. I know this could be coincidence, as this happens all the time in online dating. But I have a feeling I made one fatal blunder, and I wanted to ask some young women if they would end a communication over this:
I am a shy and introverted type of person, and unfortunately in the last couple of years I have made some bad decisions leading to my being socially isolated in the last couple of years. In particular, I stupidly transferred out of a school where I had made friends (not the easiest task for me). When she asked me about my social life, I kind of sputtered and gave an answer about how I missed my friends from the old school, and I think I made it sound like I didn’t get out much. Be honest: if a guy on a dating site gave this type of answer, would you be like, “Yeah, just as I thought, guys on dating sites are losers with no life” or do you think it is more likely that there was no particular reason we lost touch? (Like maybe she decided she didn’t want a relationship at the moment.)
I’m trying to get inside the female mind, help would be appreciated! What would you think?
