    Do you guys use online dating sites to meet girls/guys?

    Do you find they work?

    I met my last girlfriend in an MSN group chat room.. we were together two years before I drove her nuts :)

    If you're honest about describing any faults you might have, I find you don't get many replies at the online dating sites ;) My advice is to lie like a rug! :D

    Why lie? That will only lead to a lying girl friend or boy friend, id rather have a honest one.

    It's on the internet, of course it's true!
    You have more chances on myspace or hi5

    I have been a long time member of friendster. I have had some short term relationship with some girls from there. I found people in friendster to be much more nicer than myspace or other dating sites. I have never went for paid dating sites. I think its a waste of money lol.. unless of course, if you don't know how to socialize heheh ;)

    online dating sites is kinda helpful with people who have no guts to meet girls/boys in person... :)

    online dating sites can help express yourself through instant messaging/ emailing/ and talking via internet phone... :)

    Regards to all online daters! :D

    in my opinion, there is too many sites already out there. if you was to start a dating site 5 years ago, i think it would have been a huge success....it may be if you did it today, but i think the market is too saturated.

    Agreed.

    Anyway, nah, I have an old school philosophy that Online Dating is a last resort. You've got a bar near you. First chick that you notice in that bar, buy her a drink. Doesn't work out? Be glad you're an AdSense based webmaster who doesn't care for that spent money, since it was done without much hard work anyway.

    i have a dating site, actually a social networking website, you can check it in my profile! and it really works, but then it works for me as it gives me money, don't work that much if you are looking for dating:p
    online dating should be concidered as fun, don't take it too seriously!:)

    I agree. Online dating is more of a 'bored on the internet' kind of thing. Problem is, many take it much too far.

    Never used them & have no intention of using them. I bet you that most of the chicks on there are just a bunch of guys pretending to be a girl, except for the ugly ones :p

    My logic is a little rusty and out of date, but... it could be because they were gay men on a gay site.

    And that is what makes it "amazing".
