Online you get to talk to people you may obviously spoke to in person.
Obviously people just have to be careful cause there are people who go online to become someone they aren't.Post fake pictures so we obviously have to proceed with caution.
I suppose it could be similar to fishing cause one persons throwback could be someones catch of the day so to speak.

I voted yes, the system is similar to shopping, the difference is that we shop for humans,, demand & supply, but since it is virtual it's impossible to subject each and everyone to a quality control, that's why it's success is so limited, or not really working as wished to, and when buying something, we need to be assured of a good quality, if not be leave it off ,,
the worst thing is when people in a relationship start looking as well to 'trade in' their old 'car'.
it makes it tooooo easy.

Agreed! there it is. the flaw. The condition in which some just are not happy with the best thing ever and it usually is because they are not happy with themselves.
I voted "no" as I do not see dating sites as form of shopping.
When I was young, single guys and girls went to ballrooms to dance, the guys on one side the girls on the other. Each picked a person they wanted to dance with, sometimes the request was accepted sometimes not. This was a very successful way of finding romance and in more instances than not led to a relationship.
I see dating sites in a similar vain, the only difference is you see the person in a profile. Once you pick the person you want to talk to and send them a text or flower it then depends on whether that person wants to reply.
I have been relatively successful in finding friends and girlfriends here on CS. As in real life you spend time getting to know that person either through mail or phone or skype and if things work out you meet.... It pretty much is as simple as that.

Oh Definetely except like some catalogues they dont show the PRICES......so events can be very Costly......
Sure it is...choose the height, weight, colour, education blah blah...then hit the "search" button and voila...You can always cancel your order as well... And there is nothing wrong with that...you won't buy anything you don't like will you?
PS Or just spend good time in the forums and save yourself the shopping troubles...

Krema, hi,, and maybe forum could be a good stepping stone, thre are good mates in the forum.
For first there is no thinking to do something because, feels are primary in relationship. I agree could be 'shopping' for girls vs boys but limited to some areas as for example buying new car, new phone and all new devices, properties, etc, and, not buying fruits, vegetables, sticks, eggs,etc. So ONLY NEW big investment otherwise has not weight.

so is 'real life' dating. You go out with a few until you find one you want to stick with. And you spend money as well - a new top or shoes or hairdo or all, plus paying for drinks/food. Speed dating is even more like shopping!
The local shopping center .Oh dear to those I have written to here most every one has responded as a friend would and I find that lovely .most are women ,
Very few men I have written to did respond and that was good though we did not take it much further than a very few writings to each other and that was okay as well, apart from the scammers no comment needed ,
So for the ? how do I see it , as a dating place I don't see much coming from being here or on other forums because distance is the main issue though I have taken time to write to many very few will answer and don't ether wont to or are not friendly for what ever reason and the one I see is being seen as a scammer and I would say that is how people will see myself ,
When I came on these forums I said don't expect any thing don't even think you will find any one to become a close friend or companion let alone wont to spend their life with you and dont be disappointed at being rejected,
So my shoping at Pack ,n, Save - nz or Coles - au, is I meet many people and talk to those I know and we have friendships just not ones that go beyond that, so, the ones I see/meet each week is lovely , those here when could I ever meet or see you, if ever.
Now for myself it would be so lovely to meet you face to face when I come over as I will in June . July next year,to AU.
none from NZ - here , will take the time to catch up or meet me so I have my doubts any would or will.

Hiya Lolette, it is indeed a very good stepping stone, opinions one gives on so many and different topics could form a really detailed picture of what character this person has...

I am voting -yes too, it is the story with a closed "parcel". There are people who are losing hours and hours of searching and their nerves to, in order to finding out what is under the shining "wrap". Some "Fata Morgana" and desert sand. No possibility to verify and control.
Solamente: I voted "no" as I do not see dating sites as form of shopping.

"You see the person in a profile". The profile can be built with such a reality streak or even copied from other people. When you are seeing a profile you like, you cannot see what is behind it. For me no comparison with the ballrooms of the good past times.

Dating sites work for some people but for the most part, they are virtual candy stores.

If online dating was shopping I would sue CS under The Trade Descriptions Act. Where is the regulator? I'd be surprised if half the profiles here are what they say on the tin.

Yes. So is adopting a child, especially one that is a little older. It seems to be the way society is going. (I don't like it at all..)
