Is online dating for losers?

I'm seriously considering it. I've posted details on a site but no picture as I'm scared someone will see it and think I'm a werido. I'm never short of attention when I go out, I just haven't met anyone I actually like in a long time. Are online dating sites social suicide?

My friend is signed up with a dating site and has gone on a few dates. The men have all been boringly average in every respect apparently. I don't really have any opinions on her using a dating site.

My mum signed up for a dating site and I went ABSOLUTELY MENTAL and called her a weirdo desperate freak and she signed off because I'd made her feel so bad before she'd even had the chance to look at the men on it.

But, you know, friends and parents....different things, innit?

(I know. Okay. I KNOW. I'm a bad person and going to Hell.)

well because theyre so general. and probably attract a bunch of freaks and creeps because of what they are to start wth.

surely joining a website that was an intrest of yours say like a forum for HOLE the band (not that you should look here for love ever) youd be more likely to find someone with things in common with................maybe?
aha

anyway
but whatever i suppose its just a modern way of dating. even though i think its a bit bizarre and kind of not real life. loadd of people do it so
its quite acceptable

not at all, dating alternatives are pretty standard in this day and age, speed dating, internet dating, whatev. Do your thing. And shame on you Duchess! At least mommy knows what she's getting before hand and more likely to skips the freaks and deadbeats (if that's not her schtick) Guys in bars don't go walking around with sandwhich boards advertising their job and turn ons so I can see how it helps to know somethings pff a dating website so you know whether to bother with a guy or not.

I know a few people who have met their significant others online, mostly match.com, and they've been really happy.

I think the stigma is kinda vanishing because everyone has online access these days so all kinds of normal people are on there. Where else do single people meet people these days? Bars? That doesn't seem much better than an online dating site!

My coworker uses e-harmony and she says it's a pain because you have to answer a crapload of questions and you can't just email someone you think is cute or whatever. You have to send these scripted email things and once you've answered enough of these generic questions back and forth you can finally exchange email info and numbers or whatever.

i married my online date. i met him here. dont think i would do a dating site, but mutual interest sites seem more natural? i guess its natural to want to date, i think organic is the word im looking for.+

I think it's best not to take it too seriously, although there are hordes of genuine success stories that warm the heart (^). If you need a fuck, it is absolutely positively guaranteed that you will be able to find one online.

I think the stigma is slowly disapearing. BUT i have looked on match.com and didnt see one person in all the 100s i'd even consider. Im thinking i should start a dating site for alternative/rock people! That would be good

I only know one girl who used online dating sites. She didnt have much like with the guys she met up with. Apparently they were all slightly odd and not as good looking as the pictures they'd posted.

Im not sure id ever go online dating, for me i feel it still has a stigma of being slightly sad. But thats just me.

Ok this thread is apparently new but I'm sure I've posted something in this before. Maybe it's deja-vu. Maybe there's just been a similar one. Maybe I can SEE THROUGH TIME and reading this is my realisation that I have more power than I can possibly imagine. I'd like to think it's the last one.

Anyway, I think the idea of online dating is nice but I don't think I could be done with it myself. I think the thing Dirtyplotte is talking about with meeting someone online is different but she's right about common interests. I don't think it's 'for losers' but it's probably at least as much of a minefield as trying to meet someone out there. For myself I may as well stick with doing things the hard way, I couldn't be done being with someone who didn't slot well into my social circle anyway.

You really should. Or anyone in general, really. I've always been amused with online personals. I've been members on various sites for years. It isn't so much that I'm expecting anyone decent to be on there. It's more an amusement factor of who'll respond.
Since becoming newly single after several years in a relationship, I guess I've been looking with a much more curious eye. Each person that seems slightly interesting turns out to be pretty bland. I'm not the most interesting person, but I can't be bothered with someone who is completely career oriented with NO musical/movie/art/literary preferences. You have to be interested in something. I absolutely hate the response to what they like to do "I'll listen to anything but country, and I'm up for whatever." Argh!!!!
But inreply to the original post, I don't think online dating have as much of a stigma. It's just a crapshoot once your actually on the sites themselves. Hell, look at craigslist. Who hasn't posted a crappy personal ad on craigslist? If your looking for a hookup you can find that in half a heartbeat.
