Has anyone tried online dating?

edited August 2008 in General
I have. In my biased opinion, it sucked. The women in British Columbia are cold as clams. I am too lazy to go out and meet women.
Have you tried online dating? Secondly, what was your experience with it?

    Well for one, I wouldn't even call it online dating, I'd call it social networking. I've added guys from these sites to something like msn and talked to them there for a while, if they seemed cool we met up, if I liked them when we met up we would then go on a date.

    Sometimes I've ended up good friends with people this way, other times met people I've gone out with long term.

    You do realize when girls are cold its generally because theyre not interested right...? I've met guys who didn't look like their pictures for example, so the entire date I kinda just stared around and made minimal responses, or asked questions I didnt really want to know the answer to.

    It's really what you make of it, just like in the real world. I think the only difference is you cant determine chemistry online, where in real life when you meet someone the signs are easier to read.

    Perhaps my picture seemed too real for them...Leaves little to the imagination. Yeah, I'm not much of a thing to look at. Oh well, perhaps in the next life I will be reborn as Johnny Depp. (Yea, I'm shallow n so are you, admit it

    Well I myself haven't dated online, but my cousin met his current Girlfriend and have been going out for a year now, but he is in Chicago. Also 2 of his friends are now married and they met they're partners online. Meh, I guess it must suck in Vancouver.

    Did I mention that I am east Asian? It makes it that much harder to find a partner through online dating. It's a fact.

    Internet dating is for homosexuals.

    As there are no women on the internets.

    This is an age-old fact.

    I've never tried it because I'm not sure how it would work. How do you hold hands online?

    We must have anatomically small features on the outside in order to offset our large brains. This in turn, compensates for your overly tiny brains. We can't all be Peter Griffin... :x

    There are however plenty of men, some of them even straight.

    Theres lots of quality people on the internet, overall not lots, but lots of pickings.

    I think it's actually quite common for people to meet people off the internet now-a-days. Lots of young people do it through sites like nexopia etc..
  • edited August 2008
    funny how you mentioned nexopia
    the case I sat in on for 330 involved some girl meeting this one guy on nexopia, guess what happened
  • edited August 2008
    Raped / Murdered / Sold into slavery?

    Those stories are really sensationalistic or unrepresentative of the whole, and those things also happen from people you don't meet online.

    I'm not saying the online world is perfect, but a lot of people use it is my more general point. I also think that maybe our generation missed it as being a norm, but I think newer generations will use it a lot.

    Anyway, it's another reason why you go to public places, do things around people or with friends.

    Some people are dumb enough to get taken advantage of, and it extends beyond the online world.

    well she testified so the last two are out
    so the first one
    except she was drugged and gangbanged (2 counts right?)
  • edited August 2008
    Always get a friend to tag along, so he/she can bail you out in case something goes wrong. Like someone who appears skinny in a picture only to show up looking like a whale. Boy, these things happens way too many times.

    Online dating has its gem, but you have to brush away a ton of shit to get there.

    wow.. and you were allowed to sit in and hear the case? i'm surprised a publication ban wasn't enforced for this.. the last time i went to court.. i was shut out from a rape case on trial..=(
  • edited August 2008
    dont think it was a high profile case
    the two accused were East Indian and the victim who testified the most was white, I think besides her, some police officers involved testified
    she was drugged so she doesnt remember well, and the defense tried to make her seem less credible
    something along those lines
  • edited August 2008
    All the cases I went to were boring, drugs this, theft that, fraud this. All I wanted was a non-election section whatever it is hardcore indictable offences

    nexopia? if you're looking for a 15-year-old slut, sure.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    The two friends I know who have plentyoffish are either: FAT, or PSYCHOPATHIC SLUT.

    Oh yah, plentyoffish is definitely where it's at.

    Also if you're looking for age 50+ dates, then totally go for it.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Seriously, if people have the time to be internet dating with their e-fake-profiles, maybe they should spend more time FIXING WHATEVER PROBLEM THEY HAVE THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM MEETING PEOPLE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.

    Because, kids, internet people ALWAYS HAS SOME SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM.

    "Internet people" ....That general statement would include you as well.
