has anyone used any of these services? were they successful in helping you meet someone? was the person you met a good match? if you tried several, was one better than another?

thanks.

true, but at least it might help with the meeting girls part.

bleh, i went through that whole eharmony personality test thinger (not understanding what they were asking for half the time) and ended up not having any matches anyway.

True, but it will help getting one foot in the door. BTW you can meet lots of women at MySpace

listen to remy. if you were truly confident you wouldn't need the internet to meet a girl.

Just to elaborate,

at this point, turning to dating sites is pointless. How can a girl be happy with you if you aren't happy or excited about your own life. Do things that makes you happy, and that taht you aren't shamed to talk abouth with others. Only when you're completely satisfied with yourself, should you consider bringing someone else along for the ride. Then you can check out the sites.

but get good at know which ones are fake (the draw back to sites like that)

people aren't going to pay to put up fake accounts

I've met a few girls through Match.com and have had a blast. Nothing massively serious has came from it, but it was/is still good times. Everybody has a different situation, I suppose, but for me I am in my late 20s working a professional job at ~50 hours a week in a town I just moved to. Meeting people online is a nice way to sort of cut to the chase; both people involved quickly get through the bullshit associated with trying to pick somebody up casually.

I am not dating website aficionado, but like I said I have used match.com and have enjoyed it.

that and if you don't like paying through the nose just so you can drink all night at a club they're good for that too 🙂

i hardly ever drink and i don't like dancing so why would i go to a bar and/or club to pick up a girl.

other than those places its pretty limited to meet people

Before meeting a girl in a romantic setting, you really ought to work on your attitude, your confidence, your social skills.

You can start with my suggestion at the bottom of my post. Excersize, get fit, get a tan. Learn to cook, learn something that you think girls would find interesting.
 
i did match.com and it was ohkay....met a couple good girls...met a couple bad ones...didnt meet anyone for a long lasting relationship but got me outta the house a few times.
met a couple girls off myspace...thats like highschool time though....in fact i had a few hs girls message me...creepy
friendster is good if you got people that know people already. My friend hooked me up wth his group on there and it panned out a few good matches with people to go bar hoping with

friend did cupid and met a guy that ended up stalking her but overall you get the same people on cupid/yahoo/match

i dont get why people think they are better than everyone else cause they didnt have to use online sites to meet people...i meet people just fine....i use the online sites to meet different people...its just a different way of meeting people in this new generation. On top of that practically every girl i know real life and outside is on some "match" site. Even the 40+ yr old single ladies at work + 1 of the married women at work is. People do it just to meet new people with similar interests and whats wrong with that?

I understand for older people because they work and its harder to find time to socialize. But for 25 and younger, I think they should spend time interacting with people and get thrown into real life situations so they can improve their social skills. Its the same reasoning that children should go outside and play with other kids instead of playing cs, or whatever they play now, all day long. Then again, maybe Im old fashioned.
