Online dating vs. Offline dating

What's a better way to meet datable people? By meeting them Online or Offline? and why?

Lets assume they are looking for more than a one night stand.
Lets also assume they are done with highschool and college.
 
offline of course unless you like blind dates where 90% of the time the person is stretching the truth in some way or form about themselves.
 
If you're living somewhere on a mountain with nothing but woods and animal life around you, than I think on line dating is the best bet.

You have to be truthful to yourself. It's a large world out there. Even if your no "magnet" to the opposite sex, you can at least try to improve your social skills with them. Patience is a virtue. Don't try and think it would be better online if you can't get out and socialize offline.

Of course I didn't mean that directly towards you. As I have no idea what the problem is to date off line.
 
If you do online dating, just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

It IS a blind date. You know what the other person looks like, but you never know if there will be chemistry between the two of you.

One guy told me once that online dating is just another avenue to meeting folks. I have to agree.

I see you haven't been paying attention to OFFline dating...the percentage of lies is about the same, the lies just don't tend to be about appearance 😉
 
Offline, for sure.

Or, maybe you LIKE wasting days talking to someone online and over the phone only to find out that they're ugly or crazy. Not that I'm bitter or anything 🙂
 
Online, definitely. It's just so much easier, and there's so many sexy nightelves to choose from!
 
Every girl I've dated, or had intercourse with was met online. Well, one I had met in person prior but we didn't talk.

Much easier.
 
Offline unless there's something specific you want, like someone in a certain religion or belief. Online is a great way to meet people but I'd prefer to meet a date in person first.

pfftt that's not exclusive to online dating 😛
 
Meeting people online is just another way to meet people.

You could meet someone in a grocery store, a bar, or online... what matters is when you are together in real life.
 
Topic Title: Online dating vs. Offline dating
Only on ATOT would you find a thread like this.

What does an online "date" consist of?

Cybering?
I think he means hooking up with people through DateFinder or whatever then meeting them in real life... since a one night stand doens't exactly work when cybering...

They are cheaper.
 
Offline. Talking with someone online is no comparison to actually conversing with them in person. I know that I actually have to be next to a person to tell if there is any serious attraction taking place.
 
The women I met in a bar while out with friends were longterm. (My current girlfriend I met in a bar while out with mutual friends)

The online women I have dated were all crazy and had some major flaw with them. If they didn't lie about their looks, they lied about their activities and hobbies just to get attention.

To "connect" online, all you need to be able to do is type. To "connect" offline, you need to have a physical attraction, emotional attraction and good chemistry.

I recommend finding someone who is a friend of a friend. Your friends usually have certain appearance, hobby, and moral attributes. Their friends usually share these, so the likelyhood of you sharing these are higher.
