Is our chances in meeting a true and good partner better here? Or in real life? Or what about from a free dating site as opposed to a very expensive and exclusive one?
NOTE: On one of my flights to Australia, couple of years ago, One of the exclusive magazine published a dating site that is not only unique in the presentation but for the same token it costs very expensive to be a member.
One of the high lights on the story (not an ad) was how they guarantee your chances in finding exactly who you are looking for, including but not limited to career, economic and social status...
Of course, I didn't have to be enticed, I found my true love here at CS. FOR FREE.
Thank you CS.

I think our chances of finding who we're looking for are as good as the effort one puts into it whether it's on a dating site or real life. This being an international site opens many doors of opportunity for those who have the freedom to pursue a relationship they can realistically handle due to the complexities of distance, culture, etc. It can be a challenge for most but if people find a connection here and have what it takes to follow through, that's great. If you have found your true love on CS, thank your lucky stars.
I fully and strongly believe that the best way is to go out in the world and meet somebody in person. I personally am unable to experience chemistry on a computer. Body language, tone of voice, eyes, all that. I think it's a shame that nobody talks anymore, they text. No companies answer their phones, a machine does. At the store, you can check and pay for your groceries without someone at the counter. Give me the human factor anyday.

I can relate to that. I believe the gravitational pull of those that attract our attention is in relation to our efforts responding to them. Having said that, would that give any equation to scammers? Of which we're warned very strongly?

Well if looks like with the trend carried out by technology, it seems then that we're more pulled in by the power of technology?
But I know what you mean, live it is.
I know how you mean the ability to feel and touch him or her that attract us almost as instant as we meet them. It also allows us to know that they're for real?
One of the things that I learned about meeting someone either here on in real life is that people tend to look at the physical appearance first in real life. While online, yes people do seem to look at the appearance first but some tries to take time to know the person thus giving a chance to that person.

Congratulations; I’m happy to hear you’ve found someone through CS!
It’s no difference between paid and free dating sites, just talking from my own experience, there are scammers on both. Free dating sites are open to everyone; it might attract people who are not necessarily looking for a serious relationship or interested in dating. If you’re very serious about finding someone, you’ll probably have better luck on local dating sites. Most people don’t have the money to travel to another continent for a date. There are numerous of paid sites, where they match what you’re looking for. Can we really be sure the match has been honest with all details, career etc.
Meeting someone in real life is always a better choice. The Internet has more or less taken over; the most common way to meet your future partner is through dating sites (in my country).
I would say for many here or on other forums wether you pay or they are free would be quite good ,
I meet and have met many 1000.s of people and known by many 10,s of 1000s of people and yes its true ,wether people belive me or not does not matter , now none of this has any thing to do with my being on dating forums ,
Though as i see it i doubt very much ill find or have some one who would be interested in myself as a person , now i,m not blind to the fact of being different will put people off wonting to have much to do with me as a date and or a long term friendship or be a partner ,
i have made it known about myself as i dont hide behind a false profile or say things that are not true about myself,so no one can come back at me and say i lied to them ,
And those who take the time to get to know me will find i,m up front and have nothing to hide, mind you i doubt any of this will make any difference to any one so meeting/talking here or on other forums or face to face will help me much ,so thats how i see it for myself ,
How do you mean ""of being different"",or what is this ""different"" you claim to be???

Hi Lindsy,
Nothing beats a real life experience.
We can certainly be introduced over the internet, but a face-to-face meeting and spending time together is the only way to determine how things will go.
Long distance online relationships without any physical contact.....a fantasy really.

IMO.
Quite true, its really only a Online meeting point, But, thats why i think Skype is a good idea as well, it lets you take in mannerisms and the like, but i also think alot of people have over expectations in face to face as well !!

Agree....skyping is very helpful to see if there is a possibility of any chemistry and whether to take things further or not.
I think the sooner the meet, after this point, the better, really....otherwise unrealistic expectations can build(I'm referring to local dating sites....not this website, as too many factors come into play, such as distance, finances and time available to travel).
After much thought..(about 1 minute) I realized that the last few women I met and went on to build a relationship were actually met online. Not necessarily here though I did meet a few here over several years. The last time I met and built a relationship offline was over 10 years ago or more.

For sure, though i think in some peoples case...who seek marriage outside of their country...chemistry, is not so much at the top of the list, from my experience..:)

I beg to differ Skippy
Even though I did very badly in Chemistry at school, I still find it utmost important to have it in a relationship, near or far. Thing is, you can instantly tell whether you have it with the other person or not.
All my LDRs had had a lot of chemistry + biology in them

I feel finding true love can happen anywhere. If it's meant to be, it will be.
I like CS for the forum and blogs and the possibilities it gives in communicating with people of both genders worldwide.
Dating - my experiences with local guys is that this is mainly used to get hook-ups. Blunt but true, the amount of weirdos on here is astronomical - I don't meet any numbers of peeps like that in RL.
I prefer to meet people in RL - I like socialising, having an actual conversation with people, and that gives me a much better insight about someone's personality and intentions then the BS I got here into my mailbox.

I concer. I also found my love here. I think that the internet is a great way to be exposed and advertise oneself to a great deal more folk, but it is just an introduction. Dating really only takes place in real life.
That is how it worked for me. I have met many wonderful friends on here, and I met scammers on paid for sites.
Much for muchness whether one pays or not. Let's face it, paid for sites have to find the statistics (there are lies, damn lies and then statistics) to promote their business and to get profit.
But like you, free is just as good. I think it comes down to the fact that sooner or later a real friendship, relationship, partnership has to go offline.

That's a good observation. So building the foundation of good friendship is established before a relationship is forged.
