I'm sure there are women on the net. But don't expect to find your perfect partner on the other side of the screen. It might just end really badly. And all those success stories you read about on things like match.com or whatever. Well it's called advertising. I wonder how many times they can ask someone for a quote like that out of a thousand. Online dating seems like a lottery. A very scary and disturbing one.

yeah.. online dating is just like as game of chance. but it also depends on how you present your self during online dating.

Also, two of the most important things for communication are inflection and body language, and you just can't get those online.

but your profile can tell much more about you and your conversation is the most powerful element to present yourself. This way you may also get idea about the singles who are at the other side of the screen.

dating over internet is just waste of time and you cant rely on people over internet cause most of them are fake and mostly they tell wrong about them, it's better to find a good real person in real life cause life is real it's not virtual show.
i had bad experience over internet related to this so personally i think it's simply insane to find or dating on internet yeah there are few successful stories i've heard about it but i think it ratio is too low that you can can't try you luck over it. anyways. it's all up to you how you think.

online dating... i don't know i think it could work if u just want to get some quick sex but that's about all you can get. my point is that if it's so hard to find someone for you in real life imagine how much the chance drop online where some a lot of them are scammers. and even without the scammers it's really hard to hit it of with someone on the net, and they're pictures might be misleading... (it happened to me, yeah i know..). better go to your local bar and star hitting on girls you like from 20 hits you'll get one , that is if your not the ugliest guy on the planet, and u can do 10 hits a day easy )

There are no women on the internet. Just men who are men, women who are men, and children who are FBI agents.

I'd have to agree that "falling in love" over the internet is not the smartest thing to do. I saw a quote once that was something like Obviously this can't be taken literally, but wherever you go there's a good chance that whoever you're talking to isn't who you think it is.

Also, two of the most important things for communication are inflection and body language, and you just can't get those online. It's much easier to lie to someone, too. You just don't get a lot of the things over the internet that you get talking to someone in person.

thats why you meet up in real life, but thats always a risk,

the hell?

dont do internet dating. i mean on the NET? Okay, maybe whoever does that needs a LIFE. no offence.

1. you dont know the person, even if you SEE them in person... who knows what they'll do?
2. they MAY be faking it.
3. they can rape (women of course..) you OR steal anything of your belongings.
4. they might not be STRAIGHT. (bi, hetro, trans, lesbians...,*happy*..)

yeah sorry for that "improper" english.

I like all that!!! just what i was thinking, and half of them are true..

As for me, Internet Dating is safe. I do not wish to meet my online bf in the real world because I know he can rape me OR kill me. As long as you can handle yourself not to meet guys outside and meet him behind the screen, it is secure for girls. This is my rule and I can manage very well because I always date with guys who stay abroad. I have never given my real name, my real address, and my real mobile number.

Although I think internet dating is good in some way, I do not wish to marry online bf.
I totally agree with others. It won't go well. 100% for sure.

hmm, sounds interesting...

but as generation changed and times, changed i think internet dating is been a popular way of meetting people, just think of rsvp,myspace and social networks where you meet other people, but it has always been a risk of meeting other people as of murder or rape, but this depends mainly on trust, as you have to trust each other to meet up,

but overall i dont think its a bad idea, as its a way of socilising,

but why Internet dating, just through IM, through the comp.
