I actually have a really hard time dating people who cant control there emotions I would go as far as to say its the biggest strain on my relationship with my gf. She gets upset at me over somthing that has nothing to do with me and I just cant take it I snap.
The problem with internet dating is largely a lack of quality people. 95% are either crazy, ugly, old, obese, or self absorbed. The 5% that are actually modest to attractive good people don't live anywhere near you, and even if they did their inbox is so full of shit from people they're more likely just delete their account in disgust than ever reply.
Then there is the relation-ship matching sites that lock you into a personality type then give you matches to your type, and don't want anything to do with you if you don't fit one. That said they are the better places, if you do happen to fit one of their personality types then they can suggest people that can and will make you happy, but most people are more complicated.

1.) That e-Harmony guy is just creepy as all get out. Seriously.
2.) Online dating makes being rejected and meeting crazies and/or liars that much more efficient.
So go for it, that or you could just stop dating. You can do that by the way, just focus on other things instead of relationships. We don't even burn single women at the stake under the guise of "witchcraft" anymore!

I don't see the problem personally.Flailing Escapist said:
The good thing about internet dating is if you see a picture of them, talk to them on Skype for a bit and think 'OH GOD NO' you can lie without looking them in the eye and move on pretty quickly without much guilt. I mean I don't mean to sound harsh, but it works rather well.
and that sums up my views and pretty much me rather well.Saelune said:
Heh I'll tell you how I met my wife. I was bored one night, literally nothing to do and nowhere to go. I hit "random chat partner" on ICQ, she replied and we were married a year later. We were married for 10 years before she died 
Since then I've met 1 other woman on a dating site and we went out for 6 months but we broke it off as she got a new job and we could never find the time to meet up.
Currently taking it slow with someone I asked out on Facebook, used to work with her and she is local
As a side note: All those sites you see advertised on TV etc are very unlikely to yield any results. You need to find the more specific or less well known ones.

Most of the people I know find 'true love' more than a few times within the same social circle, or at least the same area code/school/university/workplace/nightclub. Im sure we dont have to all fall back on online dating, if those people can find companionship anyone else would hopefully have a sporting chance. Especially if one 'lowers their standards' to put things cruedly, although if you lower your standards enough I suppose online dating becomes a free fire zone,
It is another way to meet people and it is more convinent than trying to hook up with random people you see. With online dating you know they are single and looking for a partner. I lot of posts suggest how the girl could be posing as a man, but the point is to meet online and move on to a real life meeting in person. At that point a guy pretending to be a girl wouldn't work.
Also, safety is an issue. The best way to do it is to decide to meet up in a public place. Less likely to get raped, beaten, and mugged when you are at a coffee shop with a bunch of people around.

I, ah, I met my boyfriend through an MMORPG, so I'm hardly against the thought of online dating. I will say, the time we are together in meatspace is amazing. We've known each other for years now, and he's my closest friend.
The distance sucks, but Skype calls help (and of course, if you can afford it, visiting is the best choice).
I'll agree that you should be careful if you do try to meet someone online. If at all possible, try to meet up in a public setting, or bring friends along with you. S'what I did. :3

You have nothing to lose just mind the long distance ones and keep it local (easier if you live in a city)
Must've been the same thing. All I heard was something about a man meeting up with a woman, another man, and somebody getting shot and dumped in front of a hospital. Again wasn't really listening and just assumed it was a love triangle.TakeyB0y2 said:
If you use a reputable site it can actually turn out quite well. It certainly did for me, at any rate. Just stick to dating people that are actually local; long distance relationships aren't worth the hassle and they're nowhere near as fun.
I know a couple who met on a dating service.
I think it's less like typical internet meetings because there's a strong emphasis on sharing photos, doing webcam chat, and eventually meeting in person rather than just typing at each other.
