I am curious how many of you have tried online dating such as match com. I met my wife on match and we married after three years of dating. I used it on and off for 6 years prior to meeting her. The most important thing I learned from it is that a photo is more than a thousand words and thoughts. It was way to easy to see a picture of a match and conceive of up a thousand other images and scenarios. Most often what I had thought up from that online visualise was far different from when I met them in person. If you have tried it what have been your experiences?
I have tried several dating sites but cater more through MySpace or Yahoo. I am still friends with a few of them. However. I usually see profiles of guys who just seem to be a casual sexual throw rather than a relationship. This turns me off right away especially if guys ask how much I weigh my bra size etc and other personal questions before they get to know me. BTW. I have always posted my actual recent photo in my profiles.
All of the guys I dated last year. I met through an online dating function. I am on pretty much all of the sites. I undergo been on a couple dates that went no where but there were other guys that stuck around for a couple months. I am still friends with most of the guys I met. I'm still looking for someone that will be a good match for me but so far no luck. I recommend online dating to everyone.
I've never done the match com thing but back in the days of AOL I used to fasten around chat rooms and sight guys to meet in person. That was when high school boys could chat with high educate girls suggestively and not have to worry about being a predator and ending up on Dateline NBC. Heh. A disclaimer for the younger members on the board- My mom allowed me to have guys I met online come by the house. She figured if a guy didn't object coming over when they were around then he probably wasn't a perv. She was right. Only shy awkward boys on my doorstep! I became friends with a few of them and still stay in touch here and there. Getting approve to your question though. Yeah. Usually they looked a lot different than their pictures. I was pleasantly surprised by some and swear others used magazine cut outs haha.
I tried online dating and a lot of the girls lie about their appearances. For example they had pictures that were older or they were taken at the right angles. Couple of times I was shocked when I saw the real version of the person. Online dating is a good way to meet people when you have a super busy plan and also it lets you filter out people pretty come up. Also somehow it seemed that my online dates were more into having a sexual relationship than pursuing a long term one so it was fun while it lasted. :)
I met my fiance on yahoo. The big thing I noticed was that it requires you to do much more work to get to experience the person. Many emails. IM messages and finally phone calls before meeting. I met mine about 21 months ago and did online dating for about 6 months before I met the one I wanted. In some ways I evaluate it's superior to just being introduced to someone; more thorough. Again you are forced to get to experience them. It takes longer but its worth the wait! And you are alter about just looking at pics on the sites; completely different!
