Online Dating - Anyone ever try it? Good bad or indifferent?

I was thinking of trying it out for my area, but of course i am skeptical like most people are. Anyone have any positive, negative or middle of the road info to share?
it is just a thought, not a plan so any feedback is good to have!
 
Been doing Yahoo Personals. The selection is not too good, but I'm stuck with it because I paid for a year of it 6 months ago. I should start looking for people outside of my area (Seattle) or switch to Match.com. Maybe it is just me, but I notice that people who post are often too picky. I'm a fairly short asian male. When I come across an ad with a short asian female, she wants someone 6' or taller. What gives? I love it <sarcasm> how women will describe all the requirements of their perfect match and then say at the end "Oh yeah, I want to be treated like a princess." Heck, even women in their late 20s and early 30s are being overly picky. They assume just because they are not single mothers they are highly marketable. I should really get out of the Pacific Northwest. The PNW has the highest single mother population per capita than anywhere else in the country.

I would also recommend eHarmony.com
 
you dont need stinking 'personals'. Just have some IM running like Yahoo/AIM/ICQ whatever...frequent ICQ/Yahoo chatrooms......man there are thousands out there. (My wife was one of them 🙂
'Personals' <-- this already implies to much 'dating' and stress and expectations and stuff.....why just not meet and talk to people on normal chatrooms and then look further ? And its free.

I do hit the bars and dance clubs, and yes there are some major hotties. But (a) they are high maintanence (b) they are not into relationships (c) they are not interested in me for more than one night. Sometimes their interest in me only last for a brief period until some hot guy comes by and grab their attention away. Other times after a night of bump and grind on the dance floor I would often get "cock-blocked" by the girl uglier girlfriends. Hey, it's still fun and all but I believe I have to look elsewhere for the "relationship" type.

I know exactly what you mean. I think I'm developing an alcohol problem because of it, since I end up having nothing better to do.
 
I say go for it, as I've had some success with it. I'm not in a relationship, but because of it I now have two and now potentially a third "friends with benefits" situations.

$200+ dollars a year :Q:Q:Q

And weirdly enough, my friend has met about 20 people through hotornot, and it's only $6.00 a month.
 
My father met his third wife online. The few times I met her she seemed nice(she passed away about 6 months after their marriage 🙁).
 
My friend has gotten alot of action off yahoo personals, I want to try it but I'm still thinking about it since I live in a fairly small town(for No. Cal) and I don't want people who know me to see my profile online...I've already seen about 10 people I've gone to high school with on yahoo. I mean I guess it's completely my problem for being so vain, the people who I know who are online are people I don't even talk to or even care about their opinons but still I'm hesitant to put a profile up. I'm think I should put up a profile despite my apprehensions because the bar scene is turning me into an alcoholic.
 
The thing is... the people who are real 'catches' the way most people think of it don't have to/want to post online, since they're busy enough coming up with new excuses to dump people.
 
If I was looking I'd pick eharmony or matchmaker or something. No point in wasting time; it's merely another access pointfor chickies!
