They can work if you have 100% understanding and dedication on both sides, if not.. it'll be like trying to stop a 2 million gallon leaking tank of acid with a chocolate bar. (No, you're not McGyver.)

Well Langleygirl
Im just telling the truth? have a gander at some of my forum posts and take a look at how i have been attacted by people on here! I know nobody want's this type of thing to be expressed,but sorry im going to do so! and yes how dare i say something that is not positive about online dating! right away the first thing you say is oh maybe you had better leave the site! Maybe just maybe i came on this site with a positive attitude! like many others and got nothing but screwed around? I have a right to speak my mind and intend to continue doing so

you have every right to do that

Well believe it or not I do agree with you .... but the reality is that truly how is this different than real life?? People are mean, cruel, spiteful, caring, warm, loving, funny, witty, etc. and it doesn't matter whether its a dating site or meeting people in person. You have people who are fakes, liars, cheaters, loyal, trustworthy, etc.

You have the right to state your opinion and express your experiences of being on here - but the reality is - is it going to make any difference in you accomplishing your goal of finding a mate? I highly doubt it as I've found that most people really even rarely take the time to read and comphrend a post before then rush to make their own contribution.

As well are you happy to be around people who are moping and feeling sorry for themselves? Listening to someone complain is trying and truly not attractive to most people - so that's why I suggested other avenues to pursue. If you're not enjoying yourself and having fun it comes through to others so find a way to meet people that you are enjoying yourself and having fun but still have the opportunity to interact and get to know people. Understand my point now??

I could go on and go as to my own experiences of dating sites and dating in general - but truly what is the point of discussing all the disappoints? It does't get me any further ahead ... so I choose to leave the negative behind and focus on making friends - no pressure, no expectations, just people being real and genuine with me and its made a world of difference. I've dropped the guys who love me after a few letters and that are looking for instant love because they fall in love with the fantasy person and I'm looking for reality.

Truly since I've changed my perspective I've viewed this whole experience differently - it may work that I'll find someone or it may not. But my whole overall experience has been much better and a hell of alot more fun since I've relaxed my expectations. So that's why I mentioned perspective - has this site changed in the least - NO, but I have and that's where it all starts.

I wish you good luck in your search because there are many wonderful people to get to know .... there are just more "duds" to wade through because of the sheer numbers of people that a dating site attracts. There are many jewels out there just waiting to be discovered.
