What's everyones view about online dating?
I've heard some real success and horror stories about online dating. I actually have a couple of friends that have met their partners (wives/husbands) online, which is very cool!

So being a single male (for too long now) I've now checked out these sites called lavalife and plentyoffish. For the most part, it seems kinda funny, and at the same time serious. But I was really surprised about how many people actually join onto these sites. I've always been very skeptical about the whole notion of meeting someone online... but as time has tested it true, it's becoming a very popular and socially acceptable thing to do.

I think it's quite cool that you can read what a person's really about, but can you really take someone's profile at face value? I mean, it's easy for anyone to go on there and say, well, I'm this and that, trying to make themselves sound attractive and amazing. I guess I think that online dating can be more pretentious than actually meeting people in person.

Has anyone been on these sites and had a read around? Or how about some juicy stories you (by that I mean "a friend of yours" ) have encountered.

lol why pay using lavalife.

it seems facebook is the next big thing in toronto (ontario? possibly all of canada?)

anyways, if you poke like 100 girls, one are bound to poke you back lol.


either way, hooking up off the net is not for me. just my preference anyways.

edit: go meet some tota's, they always love meeting people

LOL

A friend of mine wants to try speed dating. She wanted me to go with her.
I don't know if I would actually do something like that or not. She says I just need to go along with her for the fun and support.. haha


edit: about 5 yrs ago I tried the whole Lavalife BS. I met a number of idiots, then I quit. It wasn't for me.

One couple I know met like that, and by looking at them, wonder why they needed to try that.

On the other hand, this one loser at work, where we KNOW there's NO WAY he'd ever be able to hook up with anyone on his own, did find someone on lavalife equally horrid as he.

LOL. Good on him.

I've tried a few sites to have a look around. Most ppl on those sites seem fixed on getting a particular type of guy and settle for nothing else.

Met the first girl I ever dated (period) online on msn chat funnily enough (in 2nd year university). As for dating anyone else from online, hasn't happened after the first.

Wow Kelly. Your bf must be one helluva guy if he can get past your bitterness on men in general.

So happy for you!
