Only if your looking for a partner.........
The diversity of pond life on this site gives courage to write your views in the forum and to argue pointless debatable arguments........but overall you will be inundated with Scammers and make-believers but apart from that the Gallery of suitable women is tremendous.......
It depends on why you joined. Years ago it was a good place to look for love, that's why I joined in 2006. Back then the men and women flirted and we would often hear of a wedding. It's not like that anymore. Now CS is more of a social site where people write threads on subjects to encourage discussion, conversation and opinions. And then there are the threads that cause trolls to romp around the castle. CS did a good job of removing the trolls but every once in awhile one pops up.
CS isn't a waste of time. I found someone not to long ago but after 18 months it didn't work out but it does show that you can find someone, you just need to give it time. If you don't find love then keep posting in the threads and try to enjoy other people on here who you have something in common with.
There's a lot on CS to keep you busy.....puzzles, blogs, tests, quizzes, book reviews, poems AND there are forums from other countries.
Hang in there. Good things come to those who wait.

I think its more of a social script than a dating site,but in saying that,you have more chance of finding a partner here as opposed to not being here I quite like the site to be honest,can be pretty entertaining reading and participating in the blogs/forums/poetry etc. There are some pretty nice and interesting peeps on here too. Tiz the only social network site ive ever bothered with. So in answering youre question i would say NO,,connecting singles isnt a waste of time...I think.

I think not, specially in the forum, it's an excellent way of connecting to people from all walks of life, an enormous exchange of opinions, ones outlooks/traditions, discussing things with people from far that couldn't be possibly reached if you're not connected here, and sometimes it can lead to friendship/amical ties,, a good thing ,, For other purpose, like finding a lasting partner in life, i think the percentage is very low due to the fact that everybody have doubts on the reliability of the majority of the members, and hard to have a sure way of verifying, (with some exeptions of course,) let's go on discussing, it's already a good thing.
MikeD12: Yes if you want a positive and serious partner.
Yep From profiles that demand unrealistic qualities in their expectations, to profiles that down right completely lie about the type of person that THEY are. If you are looking for the "perfect partner" It's a waste of time. Pretty much everyone on here is srewed up a little in their own way, I think it's more of an escape from reality, rather than finding someone for a lot of women.
If there are a lot of other members local to you, it's probably no too bad.
If there are relatively few active members local to you, then yes in regards to seeking a partner it would be a very inefficient use of time for most people.

I agree pretty much with what everybody else said. I wouldn't look for a relationship here, but I enjoy the casual interaction with the nice people here. It's almost like a dysfunctional family

CS is what you make of it....I personally wouldn't say its a waste of time. The diversity of people you can chat to is amazing and the characters here on the forums are fun
