Dating web sites merely mimic what you see in real life.
1 hot chick. 250 guys emailing her. It's no different than what you see in a bar.
Except in a bar you can win her over with your personality, flair, conversation. On ther net -- you're downgraded to nothing more than a bunch of "Hey. How are you? How's everything? I like walks along the beach. Especially with my dog...What do you like to do? ha ha ha" fake crap.
Similar emails and lousy fake banter that she's got from people 200 other guys.
There is no excuse to meeting people face to face. Since that's what the ultimate goal of meeting someone on the web is -- why not just skip to that in the first place? That way you know within 5 minutes whether this person is a connection or not.
Rather than waiting 3 weeks with fake pleasantry emails back and forth just to arrive at a lousy expensive dinner, uncomfortable silence and a wasted evening to figure that out.
Internet Dating. Great for those who don't "got game".

I used match.comslickdadd said:
that's the best I think if you want to actually date some people..
if you wanna just fuck.. try lavalife or even sites like hotornot.com I've gotten laid from that one plenty of times.. quality is low though.
match.com has about average quality, nothing stellar.. but you will find some hotties.
Razorguns makes great points... basically if you have game, may as well stick to bars.. but if you don't have game, the online thing levels out the playing field, you just have to weed through more fatties and below average looking chicks.

BBQ's and shit like that are so much better. I guess I need different friends. The ones I have now are living in the party scene, 30 years old, doing blow all weekend, and hating themselves for a few days afterwords. I'm just over it.

but where there is banging to be had, you might as well have it.. that includes the online sites... you can get more bang for you buck really.. the cost of on online site is FAR less then what you spend at a bar.. time investment in minimal too.Razorguns said:Women will always still prefer clubs and bars though. So us guys who got game, will always get more lovin'..
why?
cuz women STILL need that attention craving from real live breathing men. Not just 50 emails a day saying "you're hoooottt!"

Funny thing is my current girlfriend I met on match.com, it was purely coincidence I even checked the site one day while bored. She sent me a "wink" and I was intrigued enough by her profile to reply. We started e-mailing then talking and we're at the stage now where I know if I ever get married again it will be to her. She actually lives about 20 minutes from me. She had been single for several years and I've been single for almost one and a half. We were both regulars at a local sports bar on the same night of the week and even have a common acquaitance but we never so much as met. It was a pure stroke of luck. Funny how things happen sometimes.

my fav is when people spend months emailing and talking on the phone. they get together.
start dating.
and she dumps him cuz he makes an ass out of himself when drunk at the bar and pisses off her friends (or something else u couldn't foreshadow thru emails like that).

If I didn't meet them within a week or two I moved on. Told them let's either meet or forget about it. I don't have a lifetime to e-mail back and forth.

The reason some the most beautifull women in the world are still single is because very few people have the balls to ask them out. Thats another reason you see ugly looking guys with hot looking chicks. NO, its not always about money. Its because they have the balls to ask them out and the good looking guys dont have that kind of confidense. Just ask them out and if they so no, well FUCK em. There are millions of girls out there to choose from. I guarantee you that out of 10 girls you ask out, at least 3 of them will agree to go out with you even when they have a boyfriend. Get used to rejection. Its part of life. The most succesfull people in the world have also been the most rejected while starting out. Trust yourself and screw everyone else who rejects you.

My advice is to always meet as soon as possible. My girlfriend and I met within a week of our first e-mail. I would advise to never invest too much into one person online untuil you meet and see if you chemistry. Also, 8/10 when a chick says she's athletic and toned it really means she's fat but works out. I broke my own rule in regard to meeting sight unseen, she aslso listed herself as athletic and tones, due to our great phone conversations. I was lucky...

lol, thats me.
seriously, its really awkward just trying to talk to random chicks out in public. for example there was this hottie at my church tonight. I shook hands with her, during our little greeting time where we shake people's hands. but i didnt say anything to her then except for hi.
i wanted to say something to her later, but I just wasnt feelin it. what was i supposed to do? just walk up to her, be a complete stranger and talk to her? and her parents were with her, which also made it awkward.

My uncle met his wife on line. cheated on his current wife tho. But he found "love" I guess. The 2nd marriage ended in divorce and he is now single. But he always has women to talk to and I am sure more then that too. So I would have to say yes it works. Its just finding that right person that could be hard.

I met my fiancee on matchdoctor.com and that's a free site. Believe me we are the exception and not the rule. You can find what you are looking for I am sure if you look hard enough but I've met a lot of flakey girls online in my time.

I don't have anything against dating site. I have been on them. someone above emntioned fact that alot of good looking women r single because guys don't have the balls to appoahc hem, or assume they are already taken.
As you get older.. i think those two things.. really interfere in attempting to meet people.
I was told once internet dating was created so avg to below avg people could find mates.. Overall.. I guess i could say this is a possibility.
But for the other side of things.. I think that dating site are a great opportunity for people who many consider to be good looking people to meet people who can see past their looks. In today society, people seem to think that life is eaiser for those who are more appealing look wise - I'm not sure this is the case... everyone has their crosses to bare.. and dating.. is a big thorn.. BAHHHH

They do. Prior to being married, I found it a helluva lot easier to meet "real" people, than at a bar or nightclub. Take the fakeness and booze away, and it's a totally different setting.
That being said, I also met a couple of serious psychopaths. Consider yourself warned
They seem to be becoming more popular, and socially accepted now. If you have trouble breaking the ice, they may be for you.
Ignore the naysayers maing, if you are having a tough time meeting the right girls in person, then its a great way to expand your search.
Just be a little different than the other guys and try to stand out some. Women are consumers in love realtions, so make yourself stand out since they are inundated with "average" guys.
And don't take it too seriously. You arent writing a resume, and you arent going to communicate the substance of who you are in a dating ad . Nor should you try. All your trying to do is interest here in "shopping jnevin." It isnt a replacement for meeting in person, getting to know each other etc. Its just an alternate equivelant of getting some girls number in a bar.
So your goal isnt to tell her all about yourself. It's to catch her attention, maybe make her laugh, and spark an interest. You don't approach a woman in a bar with " My name is jnevin, I work in (insert industry) I like long walks on the beach, classical music, candlelight dinners etc ect ad nauseum. So don't do it in your ad, every other asshole is spouting the same nonsense.
And if you are going to respond to her ad, then take a few and actually read it and incorporate what she's telling you into her response. Half the guys or better spout the here's my pic, liked what I saw, want to get to know you better line. She has 50 othere responses saying the same thing so taking a little time will help you stand out some.
Finally don't take it personally. She doesnt know you, and there may be a thousand and one reasons having nothing to do with you that caused her to blow off your solicitation. You arent going to hit every chick, nor is that what was intended. If they were all attracted to the same guy, what would the rest of them do

I've gotten a few dates from them, met a couple fren's, and got laid with a few diff. girls from them. They work, if you can spend some time on them, typing, IM'ing, etc.
