Thread: Online dating websites

when people get older, work full-time, kids, etc. and don't like the bar scene, they are not left with a lot of options to meet people.

Are people really that desperate to pay a lot of money to connect with people online because they don't have the guts to talk to anyone in public? Get real.

I'm sure the owners like the $60 price tag, but I think the membership does too. After all, it helps to weed out the cheapskates and poor. Which are a couple of attributes that I wouldn't be looking for if I were doing the online dating thing.

I had an employee...very intelligent gal....who met her husband through e-harmony, I think it was. I used to joke with her about it, but after she explained how accurate the compatability testing was, it made sense.
Believe me, if I had to start over again I would DREAD playing the game...the bar scene is a total nightmare these days.

good point, I see these places more for professionals and the price would not be an issue for most, my wife's boss (a female) just spent $1600 on some dating service, not sure what all she gets for that.

That's true. I didn't think about it that way. Definitely would be a clutter fuck if it was cheap or free.

I used to spend 60+ a night hanging at the bar not even buying women drinks, so a month sounds like a bargain.....Plus I think relationships formed by blind communication helps you from falling victim to lust at first site....

Werd, NFS! Think about it. You can spend $60+ in one night at a bar and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Or, you can shop from home and at least know you're going to have some female company when you go out and you've already done some screening and weeding out ahead of time. It's not like it used to be, prior to these sites, where you're only choice was the newspaper classifieds and there were no pics and no way to screen. That was for the desperate crowd who had no other choice. The internets are just a more sociable place these days hooking up online is a helluva lot more common place now.

It's a lotta fun too. I got sucked off in a movie theatre today via match.com. In fact, it was the second time in 6 days. I give that place 5 stars.

$60 a month is a fucking rort. I pay $70 a year on one site, another is free.

The only 'compatability' Im looking for is "will she ride the Capt's fishstick?"

I heard girls from match.com give head at the movies and in parking lots. Join that.

GICH!

whats getting head if you dont spuzz? rorted!

Adultfriendfinder is practically an escort service....thats all I know

If I don't find one that'll let me bust in her mouth soon, I'm gonna ask M.com for a refund. Or to send over a customer service rep to get the job done. I think that's they're preferred customer guarantee or sum10.

If the dating sites are too costly, maybe you can just go this route..

I'll use the free online one's like plenty of fish, but I refused to pay the outrages price on sites like eharmony.
