Is internet dating good? (by the way im 24)?

I think it's good because it allows you to get to know the person intellectually, without the distraction of the physical attraction. On the other hand, if the chats or emails become erotic, your imagination may run away from you and the person may not meet your expectations when you do meet.

Reply:By "internet dating" you mean meeting actual people with online dating services?


If you mean having "internet romances" then I don't know what that really is, it's nothing.





Anyway, I've used eharmony and yahoo personals.


I haven't met my true love, but I've certainly gone on a lot of dates with women I would not have otherwise met.


That's the whole point, I think.


One thing I'll tell you to break the stereotype; it's not just lonely losers using the internet.


There are LOTS of people in situations like me: my work as a graphic designer means that I'm not exposed to the public at all, so I don't meet women that way.


Even if I did, with things being so Nazi-like in this post-angry feminst world, if I hit on a woman coworker, I'm likely to get sued for sexual harassment, or fired for the same reason if it were a customer.


So, as a guy, you just don't bother.


That eliminates the workplace.


I don't drink, so the bar thing is out. I've take a couple classes, but again, that's a strange environment to ask someone out in.


So it certainly can open up your pool of possibilities.


You just have to be smart %26amp; be safe, which is pretty easy to do:


Always meet somewhere public before you REALLY know someone.


Don't give you home address out ,and maybe not even your phone # for a while anyway, until you figure out if the person is OK.


I'm still looking though, so I can't claim any success :(

Reply:hell if I know... i did internet dating when I was 16.. i'm 29 now.. i stopped when I was 19... all i know is that the majority of women I dated on there were crazy... (especially the ones who were 25+ dating a 16 yr old... ) look... from my experience.. what people say and do on the internet, or on the phone once you talk to them, rarely are they the same in person.. you may be able to get some background on someone, and understand their history of who they are... but you won't know them until you do a face to face date.. and talk.. you could end up meeting and just sitting there without a word... you could find out everything up til then was a lie.. who knows.. or you could find the right one.. it's like playing craps, you won't know until you try, but you'll probably crap out or just break even for the most part..
Reply:Make sure the other person has webcam so that he can't deceive you. I mean, people hide their real identities on the internet, but if he has a webcam then you can see him and assure yourself that he isn't a creepy old man or a friendless teenager.
