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.

look at it this way though, even if you do meet online, you have to meet in person if you want to have a real relationship.

If your kid (say they are in highschool) meets a friend in the local area through CS, and then they meet up and play together in person (outside even), is that so bad?

Or if you meet your woman online and then you meet her and start seeing her a few times a week is that so bad?

I just see it as a different way to achieve your goal. instead of learning how to pick up girls in person, you do it online, but eventually you 2 will be talking in person, so whats the harm?

i dont get why people think they are better than everyone else cause they didnt have to use online sites to meet people...

exactly, different strokes for different folks.

Yep I have to admit when I moved to a new city I knew NO ONE. So I used yahoo and match. Some ok, couple crazy, and finally looks liek the one.

To those that say do the "real" date. If not for "those" sites I would have never meet my girl. She works no where near me. She does not go out except to shop for stuff I and any straight guy would not even look at. She is kinda shy but very blunt so If I would have ever seen her in public she would have not made eye contact and if i said anything would have gotten some mad vietnamese lang. back at me.

Of course in the early internet dating sites day i was one of the "only losers do that..." but after meeting my Trinh, and other nice ladys, I say life is to short and to go for it.
Mind you she has told me to NEVER tell our family how we REALLY meet. Our story is we meet at a shopping center. But when I ask her what kind and more detail she says just stick to the shopping center and no more. 🙂

So go for it. Try yahoo and match. They bioth offer a free intro. So wink at several girls you see and then if they wink back or write THEN sign up. And put up at LEAST 3 photos. No photo = no response.

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.

listen to remy. if you were truly confident you wouldn't need 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 won't need anyone else because you will be completely satisfied with yourself.
