Online dating sites dying?
What do you think? Are online dating sites becoming a thing of old? I know with this site, I hear about how boring the blogs are becoming and therefore people are just not interested in coming to the site as frequently. There is another dating site that I have been on for some time too...and I don't use it hardly at all anymore because it just seems to be a waste of time more than anything else. But, I recently rechecked it out...being bored...and I noticed that the number of users online was significantly less...nearly half as less as I remember it. Perhaps the concept of the dating sites I use (which is only 2) is becoming outdated to some extent and people are finding other means of meeting? Or, perhaps...people don't have any interest on meeting others anymore? Or even more perhaps, maybe I have just not gotten enough information to make any sort of determinations?
Good Thursday all.

As I learned from my previous blog about single households and raising children, I think it is possible for children to receive a quality upbringing from a single parent household....but, I would add, it would be very difficult though.
I was raised in a traditional fashion and pretty much all I know. But, I am also not blind either. We are the way we are today for a reason. Evidently, many women were not happy in a traditional style relationship. As to what they were not completely happy with...remains, in my opinion, a little gray. I would like a hybrid traditional relationship. I believe on the level of being a person...whatever you may be...man...woman...etc....we all should be treated equally. And if women are not completely happy with a certain type of relationship, they deserved to be listened to at minimum.
As far as the politics in your comment, I try to stay away from that stuff. There is no way, from how I see it today, for opposing parties to meet in the center at a happy medium. So...with that said, I have no desire to take part in one party's side or the other party's side selfish stance.

Without accepting this truth...you are not engaging the subject matter to it's full extent and will end up learning very little about...the massive problems In modern society..
The left do control the education systems across the west and do brainwash the masses...the truth is the truth, but some prefer to close their eyes to the problems, so they are a million miles away from any solution
Thank you for that. I do agree with you about needing to understand situations.
I think to only show hate, is to more than likely receive hate back....the same with love.
In other words, in many cases, we are what we receive.....it is easy to get caught in a cycle of our own making.

I'm baffled
Why would you persevere with online dating/social media sites if you are seriously looking for someone to date?
Surely you wouldn't have much trouble in securing a date in real life?
I'm still not sure whether to delete this profile as well or stay for fun on forums and blogs.
I have to think about it.
Have fun, by all means

Also, an interesting point about people rather showing off than connecting now days.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Johnny_Sparton.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I like your optimism and I hope that is true but for people like myself, who weren't/aren't seeking a permanent relationship and only to make friends and come here for the entertainment purposes as in the other features such as blogs/forums, it's a bummer that it has become much less fun and entertaining.
That is easier said than done, unfortunately but that doesn't mean we can't try.
Good examples What...maybe it is like what Legs said (if I recall right that it was her that mentioned this), people are associating with and trying out the latest things. I don't hardly hear anything about My Space anymore.
Also, an interesting point about people rather showing off than connecting now days. hmmm

I'm just astonished and sad how fast (?) these dating sites have became so bad. Being an expat, living here and there, I heavily relied on the internet to meet new people. It's hard when you are in a foreign country, especially if you don't speak the language well. My options are shrinking and I guess I started panicking a little.
Thanks for helping me make a decision.
This site is not what I'm looking for.
Everyone today is or has been an expat...nothing to worry about...
Most of the men in Bulgaria who have profiles on Connecting singles are foreigners...finding a woman that speaks properly their language must be a challenge...
I have never been on another dating site and do not rely on CS to find a partner...but sometimes things happen... I know dating sites have never been a sure solution to find what you want...
Don't tighten your possibilities and you will avoid disappointment and frustration...
A good looking woman like yourself is more prone to be "seen" in the wrong way online...
Stupid and pathetic but true...
It was short, but it was fun. I liked this social network part of CS more than a CS dating site.
Stay well and take care!
