So, who here has been on dating sites? What's your experience been with them?
I've been on OkCupid for years and met some interesting guys... had a couple of relationships but nothing serious.
Last year I thought I'd try my luck with eHarmony, thinking that if people were willing to pay they'd be more serious. It was such a waste of time and money; pay websites don't actually let you know who is paying and who isn't, so you could be writing all these lovely emails to people who couldn't read them!

I have nothing against those that do but it would be pointless for me.
Match used to be ok, but I've no idea what it's like now.
I would love to see a picture of you mike. I don't think you are as ugly as you think you are.
I registered here and I can assure you that the site is very effective
Spammer alert!:D
Agreed, also I think there is somebody out there for everyone, though sadly you may not stumble across them.
I entered my card and passport details like I was requested to but nothing happened?
The internet is the new blind date.
Passport details. :eek: Did they want your National Insurance number as well?
But, is it actually true.
A friend of mine (a real friend not me ) tried an internet dating site a few years ago. Was emailing a guy should thought was really nice, just friendly emails, nothing heavy, while they got to know each other before meeting up for the first time. After about 4 weeks she got an email with an attachment and there it was, a picture of his erect penis . Can't quite work out his rationale - this is going well, lots in common, moving towards meeting up, yes, time to show her my todger.
She didn't answer his email and we still laugh about it now.
I wouldn't read too much into that, or get disheartened by it. I don't see why men over 50 would have an easier time finding someone, than a woman over 50. In fact, I'd say that sounds completely bogus, and I'd find a different site, if I were looking for someone.
95% of the women on there appeared to be gold diggers after a sugar daddy
Some hinted at this obscurely and others brazenly just requested somebody that's say '30+, 50k+'
Being 23 or so at the time I was on there to find ladies of a similar age but no girl on there under 25 seemed to be looking for a guy who was anything younger than 30 or 40.
Thinking back it really didn't seem to have much to do with dating at all. A place for older guys to get sex, and younger girls to get.. money?
I have no idea. I met my wife 43 years ago at a dance. Married after 5 months, she was beautiful. We're getting old now but still love each other:D
I'm sure there is but not on dating sites.
I don't think it matters where people meet, or how they meet though. If there's chemistry and physical attraction, which develops into enduring love, that's what counts.
