Internet dating?

Hands up boys n girls who use a dating site like Yahoo Personals. Do you pay up? Or do you ogle? And what do you think of the others who are advertising themselves?





I'll add my opinion if we reach 25 answers...

Internet dating?
I use it - i love Russian girls, they are difficult to find in UK.
Reply:There are a lot of hard-up people on internet dating sites (but, in all fairness, a lot of sincere people too). I wouldn't do it personally (I'm in a semi-serious relationship... not adverse to a casual date occasionally), but if you had the knowledge of psychology that I have (a degree, in other words) and understood Personality Theory and Psychopathology (Google that one), then picking people off (read: sexual encounters) on dating sites would be somewhat analogous to deer hunting with a sub-machine gun... in other words, a guaranteed hit.
Reply:I never use internate dating but i did meet my fiance on aol messenger over 2 years ago,i was a single mum and just wanting to chat,ive never been happier!
Reply:i havn't gone on there yet is it good
Reply:They work! Thats where my husband and I found each other! I had been pressured into putting myself on as I had been single for 18 months, I did, specifying an area within 40 miles of my home town, he emailed me from Spain, some 2000 miles away, and I had to reply as I couldnt be rude! The rest, as they say, is history
Reply:I put together a profile for various places, but cant say I have ever really been interested enough in anyone to pay up.
Reply:I had paid, but I met my wife randomly through Yahoo! chat. She is absolutely perfect as a life partner, and I NEVER would have met her without the 'Net since she lived 400 miles away.
Reply:I use internet dating %26amp; sometimes I pay to use the site, other times not. Depends on how many people I see on there while browsing online personals that strike my fancy or what benefit I think I'll derive from it.
