Internet dating is too much of a headache for me?

(serious replies). Hmm. I joined a couple of internet sites (two are paid membership) and the others are free like plentyoffish.com and connectingsingles.com - I've sent couples of smiles and emails to some gentlemen who are potentially interesting but never bother responding back. Just like sending or replying to a job interview and you only get 1 or a few promising interview. Why is like that?





Sigh - I'm thinking of letting it go and just live my life cause its too short. I dont want to read into details because the whole thing worth getting upset over it and I'm not really sure how honest people can be on those online dating sites.





Thanks for letting me rant. Give me some feedback thanks for your replies.

Internet dating is too much of a headache for me?
I remember it being a lot of work, and doubting it along the way. Now happily married it was worth every bit of the work. Whether you use the internet or more traditional methods, It is a lot more likely that you will find the right person if you make the time and effort --- you might just find the right person by accident -- might.
Reply:It could just be the sites you are on. Match Maker had good reviews and they do have local results. I must admit though you cannot look to deep into them. I tried to meet a princess but I have gotten too many dramas and mysteries. Plus too much baggage to mention.
Reply:Online dating works if you are on the right place. Just try millionairecupid.com for free and you will met many quality and serious members there. I'm sure.
Reply:i would say 95% of all men and women on those sites lie





why do you think its so popular?





inet dating is for those of last resort





you get the social rejects and leftovers





you get to present a false sense of who you are to the world, so you lie and get to be someone you are not and hopefully you can wing it on the first real meet up





hence why the real meet up are often so disappointing





why people continue to do that is beyond me


only that they lack normal social skills


and hence why the take the lazy out








you cannot expect any good results when you are too lazy to go out and meet people in person








technology sometimes gets in the way of the natural process
Reply:I don't like calling Internet dating. Internet is the tool to choose from a variety of people, the one who we think that we have more in comun or the same interests and hobbies. Dating starts after changinga a few e-mails and photos - NO PHOTO, NO CORRESPONDENCE. Dating starts after the first meeting and it should be in a public place with public transport facility, because you don't give any details including your car registration if you drive
Reply:I am on a paid internet dating as well as a free one. I have had a few talk to me but then they started asking for money. I am not very impressed with internet dating as well. Be careful .... don't give out too much information.
Reply:I feel I am an attractive female, used to dating younger men but needed a change. I did the same thing and have found it just isn't interesting to me. The guys that "wink" or "nudge" you are sooo not what I expected. Its like they do this 8 page screening, only to send you guys that its no wonder why they are single. Its hard to be single (male or female) these days and over 35. Most men 35 and older are married. Most men 45 and older are divorced. And the rest are either too young or too old. Its very scary to think what is left over.
