It has been worth it for some and not worth it for others.

Some people simply hook up for a piece of ass, other people have gotten married (multiple times). Make the most of it, welcome, good luck...!

It's possible but not probable with a hidden profile.

It depends on you. If you dont think it is you probably wont find anyone, however if you keep an open mind you may. Either way what is the worst that can happen? You will end up with some good friends.

It worked for me! Met my hubby on line and we just celebrated out 3 year aniversary.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Yep, online dating worth it. I used to signed up at Okcupid.com They are a 100% free dating site where you can take tests, set up your profile and find matches with other singles. They also have personals that you can browse for free and learn more about available singles.

Well, I joined OKCupid because a friend of mine said they have some really funny tests. Oddly enough, three women in a nearby town that I saw all the time but never got a chance to talk to for whatever reason started sending me emails and now I see them once or twice a week...because of OKCupid. Granted, it hasn't gone further than hanging out, but the four of us are now working on a test together.

hmmm...I'm kinda scared now. Three women from the same online site, living in the same city, and they all hang out with me and try to give me advice on other women. I wonder if this online thing has any chance of working. LOL

I met my hubby by answering a newspaper ad (before the era of net ads). He was looking for an over sexed, under loved lady, and that was me. Unfortunately 200+ other women also answered the ad, so it took a while for him to settle on me. He claimed it was a long hard job field testing all those applicants, but he perservered.

The most important ingredient is telling the truth about what you are like and what you are looking for. Otherwise, you are no better off than just dating whoever happens to come along in the "real" world.

of course, after all those women he HAD to "settle" with you - don't feel bad though, I'm sure you'd win at any Pig-Party he took you to!

Well..........he did say it was stiff competition! But I won, fair and square! The best of the best, so to speak.

With all the sexy eligible women out there, how come you boys are single at your ages? Got bad breath? Sexual dysfunctions? Mental problems?

Speaking from experience, bars and clubs are out. Nothing but losers. Barnes & Noble, well........I never tried. The advantage of the net is that you (hopefully) get to know the other person a little BEFORE the date. Unless he's a liar, of course. Which is why you should always arrange for a "safe" first date.

But you are right, you never know.

"With all the sexy eligible women out there, how come you boys are single at your ages? Got bad breath? Sexual dysfunctions? Mental problems?" (36)

Geez, 36, there can be plenty of disadvantages. I'd have to ...

1. care enough (open front door, step out, lock door, etc.

2. free up and invest precious time (kinda enjoy what I'm doing more than ailing through boring dinners)

3. use my wallet (girls have cost me between $1.97 and about a million bucks in the past. The costliest Elliot Spitzer hooker can be cheaper than someone who claims to love you. Can take years to discover someone's true nature. Ask Paul McCartney); good thing that past experiences are no guarantee for future performance

4. decipher da female code (lazy bastard that I am, I hate to think while being asked to be just "myself." Girl asks guy to be himself: guy being himself is, by Jupiter, the last thing she has on her mind)

5. listen politely (can be the equivalent of lying)

6. display a minimum of tact (hard with a star sign like mine; and again, it's lying)

7. be honest (women say it's what they want but then again, in absence of truth what's honesty?)

8. lie (see, if I'd be honest all day, a woman daring to come near me would be a rare sight; all others would likely be cramping or crying in pain.)

9. be nice and play with ugly children

10. pretend not to have allergies while pretending to love cats

11. meet relatives (hell, I don't even like my own)

12. engage in small talk (and I hate to talk small)

13. list is endless ...

For what? All that for the privilege of giving her the finest sex in town if and when she feels like it (which went from daily to once per month with the last GF, after she realized I didn't lie the first time we met when I told her I would not marry anybody ever again. Oh, I understand, in this case I should have lied?)?

Come to think of it, shooting myself in the foot with my .38 Special seems like a lot less painful and tons more fun than dating online or off. I remember that I do have ex-wives and ex-GFs, yet I never dated any of them.

No, I am not bitter at all, nor am I disillusioned. But I do know there are worse things in life than water boarding. Dating/living with the wrong person can be one of them. Finding a good person turns guaranteed into work. And I hate work.

Thought, this thread is juicy enough and deserves revival. These are just the right ideas of love, peace, and mutual understanding--coming from an open mind and my innocent non-existing soul.

Horrido!

I don't think you should lie about that Unkraut...it's the other persons problem if they choose not to believe you when you say it smile
