best ONLINE DATING SERVICES?

[Delta]

howdy,

i feel like i have to explore this as well. but with all this dating stuff, there's so much potential for suckering desperate people... a while ago, there was a story about yahoo getting nailed for baiting people with employees who pretended to be interested in guys.

so... any recommendations for best online dating sites?

thanks

delta,

i had a buddy who did really well on yahoo personals.. it kinda sucks though cuz the people have to be premium members to contact them.. and thats like 20 a month if i remember correctly..

It confuses me why a beautiful, 20 something, social butterfly, fun, deep, caring, loving, sexy, cool, down to earth, well grounded, career motivated, successful and whatever else they right on their profiles woman would resort to meeting men online. If she was really such a fantastic woman she would have men beating down her door.

ask my sister she meets all types of weird men online and she lies to them as well because she is not all that i personally hate online dating sites and only used eharmony to see if i was compatible

You answered your own question brother. Chicks as you've described do not scour the fvcking internet looking for love.

I'm sure you've met a couple internet b!tches who were a couple cans short a six pack . . .

it could just be another method at their disposal...

women may do the "choosing" but in a way, they are the victims of choice too. depending on their environment, sure, their doors may be getting beaten down daily but it may be by guys she's not interested in or losers, etc.

women choose but only among those who come at her. they don't really have the freedom to pursue on their own (of course, not strictly true but most girls do NOT exercise this freedom).

and sure, i'll bet a lot of girls are there because they're dysfunctional in someway but hey, as long as they're not dysfunctional in appearance, it might be something we can negotiate past....

i totally agree it's not ideal. and i wish i didn't have to resort to it. but right now, i should probably think about hitting every possible avenue of attack.

Because beautiful, 20 something, social butterfly, fun, deep, caring, loving, sexy, cool, down to earth, well grounded, career motivated, successful women can have the same problems men have, insecurities, lack of time to go out and meet people, desire to pre-screen somewhat (at least more so than can be done talking to someone for two minutes at a bus stop or coffee shop), tired of the type of guys she finds in clubs/bars, whatever, there are lots of reasons, some more valid than others.

A roommate of mine who was also a good friend fit just about everyone of those things you mentioned. She was 23, way hot, a manager of a strip club here in town making over 100k a year, and she could get laid/have guys buy her drinks/find a relationship every single time she left the house if she wanted to. Instead, she married a guy she met on the Yahoo Personals site.

I get what you're saying, it doesn't make sense why they would want to, but making sense or not, it happens more than you'd think. I've met quite a few girls from sites like HotOrNot, AmateurMatch, PlentyOfFish, eHarmony, and a few others, and while I expected to just use it to find quick FBs for a slow weekend, I actually did meet a few normal girls who (from what I could tell) met at least 3/4s of those stipulations up there.

I think HotOrNot was the most successful for me, lots of girls in my area, the mods catch most of the fake/spam profiles pretty quickly, it's really cheap to be a member 6 bucks a month or something, it costs me more than that to drive to a from the Strip one time, or even get myself a water at the clubs), and my favorite thing about it is that you can't exchange emails with anyone until you have both clicked yes to each other, so way fewer wasted time emailing girls that won't respond, if you CAN email them, then they've already shown the initial interest and you can go from there. I probably met over 30 girls on HoN, and banged nearly half of those that I met, and only two flakes that acted interested but blew me off.

I for some reason typed "been" instead of "men" so the last part probabaly didn't make sence.

I have never met a girl online because I have always felt deperate even talking to strangers on MSN, I mean I never really ahd any trouble with women so the intenet datign scene wasn't for me.

S1NN3R I still don't agree people always have time to go out, I agree with the 'insecure' part, I am sure a lot of those women are insecure. It's hard for me to belive that a beutiful, succesful woman would put her profile on a dating site. Women liek that have men begging for her attention.

Also the type of women I go for (classy, sophisticated, business women) have less free time than most normal women out there. Yet every weekend they manage to ger themselves to those classy clubs and meet people.

The topmost quality women are not online. Cathrine-Zeta Jones doesn't have a Myspace profile.

Then again, all I need is an HB7 who exercises and respects me. So use whatever tools are there to get more girls, that's my take.

S1NN3R I still don't agree people always have time to go out

I don't. Most of the people I know don't. Hell most of the people I know usually work at least two weeks straight without a day off, then the two days they do get off is spent taking care of the important sh!t that they couldn't get done for the last two weeks because of work.

Women liek that have men begging for her attention.

And women like that usually like having men beg for their attention, and they get even more of it when they put a profile online.

Cathrine-Zeta Jones doesn't have a Myspace profile.

Catharine Zeta-Jones probably hasn't sit at a bus stop in her entire life either, that doesn't mean that you'll never find a quality woman there. Oprah doesn't have a MySpace either, does that mean you'll never see fat, irritating broads with bad hair and fcuked up eyes on MySpace?

And Kylie Minogue DOES have a MySpace. Point proven.....

Seriously, we could argue who should and shouldn't have some sort of online profile based on what traits they do or don't have, but I have met plenty of quality girls on dating sites, so all I can tell you is open your mind up a but to the option, you might be missing out.
