Girls, what do you think of online dating services?

Yeah and it didn't work out for me but however my friends met their boyfriends over the net and it worked out for them you need to be careful for a lot of these guys are either married or just creepy be discreet do not give out too much information the 1st time you say hi to them for as I said there are some creepy men out there !! Be safe HUGS

I've been a member of a number of online services. I find that online dating services are becoming more like "in person" dating, with webcams and instant messaging, mimicking in person interactions.

I find that some sites are really restrictive on interaction with members, case in point, eharmony. The moral being you select someone based on compatibility & interests than solely sex appeal or being untrue to yourself. It's so formal and rigid, it loses it's fun. I tend to like online dating services with member interaction.

I've had profile on lesser known websites, specializing in men attracted to larger women. Below are my observations:

(1) Sex-Seekers

If casual sex doesn't appeal to you, you might be turned off to know some guys are using the internet to meet for sex.

(2) Actors

These are guys that enhance their profile information excessively (occupation, income, photos) to ultimately obtain what they want-- admiration, sex, money, or anything that benefits them. (b) The guys that sound like they want a long term relationship through profile text yet their actual personality is a polar opposite from the sweet guy they portray.

(3) Minimalist

Some guys don't really write much about themselves on their profiles, and expect basic demographics & a picture to make ya go weak at the knees. It's not enough sometimes. Or worse, contact from a pictureless member(personal pet peeve).

Although those are my observations for guys are at those sites, I am sure every online dating service has a few (or several).

I still believe online dating services can be a means to meeting people. Call me naive, but I would like to think it's possible to meet the guy of my dreams online. As in other spots for meeting a potential boyfriend, physical attraction, personality, and compatibility determine the success of meeting in person.

i have met my future husband online I think it works as long as you take your time and get to the know the person. T ry it out it may be for you.

Some are good, be prepared to get a ton of responses, seems like the guys just email everyone, some good sites are
