Some people seem to find love on line,others are not so lucky.Lets be honest it is not as easy as it sounds to find a partner.Is it because we ask questions on line that would take us months to ask in real life, because we learn more about the person behind the face... What do you think?
I chose distance since the other factors are not completely unique to online dating. You meet great people on the other side of the globe, you don't get that very often cept for on vacations or at the air port, and who picks up someone at the airport?
Hi Demonfairy,I think are many reasons but most important is honesty ,in net is easy to be what u want in real eyes say all,then follows distance and trust,online date is like lottery u have luck or not by the lucky number.

I have met a couple from on-line,they were very nice people but the attraction just wasn't there,no chemistry..
Yes, distance- you admire her online but not sure whether you will really meet her.Lies-They do exist.Scammers-Are busy preying on.Make of it-from the correspondence of the would be mistress.Not so hard-others find it easy.........ALL THE ABOVE

In my experience........its always been the distance. People I connect with so well are usually in a different country, leaving no room to see them on a day to day basis. This makes it hard. To be truly with someone you need to see them in all of their "moods". Sick, cranky, happy, drunk, mellow........etc.
Yeah, I had heaps of fun when I first signed up on a couple of sites, around a year ago. Several dates came out of that, but since I joined here I've found I've kinda lost interest, focussing mainly on the forums
Thats partly because the Aus contingent is fairly small and I've had no contact, with a view to dating, with anyone within a reasonable distance from where I live. Those that are in contact live in another state or another country And I guess that's fairly common on a site like this

Shell225: Im with you, all the great fellas that I've had contact with have all been from Overseas and Im not a LDR person.
Plus,a person can't afford to fly across the world to meet every one we like.. what if you spend all that money get there and there not real or you don't have any chemistry,so much to think about in long distance

Claudiya: But some people block their e-mails and the people who like them are unable to mail them. Hope you understand dear Claudya..

So I voted distance as No.1 for me
I am on a local site to,its a lot of talk,but when it comes time to meet,they disappear....
I may have found someone, possibly a friend at the very least, very indepth and is very beautiful.
She lives 4 hours and 13 minutes away... Go figure with everyone being a couple hundred miles from my local area zone....Hmm.... it's like some towns are doomed to the internet.....
I live in gainesvill,e there aren't many users on this site that live there, and those that do I'm either not interested or their profiles suggest their not interested.
demonfairy: Plus,a person can't afford to fly across the world to meet every one we like.. what if you spend all that money get there and there not real or you don't have any chemistry,so much to think about in long distance
thats it. There are very few single mums with the finances to go tripping all ova the globe to see if the chemistry is there...
As Serene said too, the Aussie contingent on here is very limited. I think its about 10 guys in my date range in the whole of my City.. Oh joy.. NOT

amppy: So hard because scammers
And so true, apart from the people we chat to very often on the chat forums, its very difficult to trust someone unless u have had contact with them for a while, and also then there's no guarantee. . But then I guess it also depends on what you looking for. I enjoy the chat forums, and have made some incredible friends online, which is exactly what I need on those days, when I'm feeling myself sorry. But hang in there girls, as my mom often says, "Every pot has a lid"
