Online Dating

So online dating is something I have never done before and is something im not very interested in but many people I know have tried it and have had mixed results.
Im interested to hear peoples experiences and thoughts about online dating as it may be something I would consider in the future if I had reason to believe its more than just chicken shit.

I was talking about how I'd never touch it with a bargepole again the other day with my therapist. The shit is fucked up. She took it one step further and explained how she felt it was like people going to the supermarket, picking up a box of cereal, looking at the ingredients, and thinking 'mmmmm, do I like the sound of these ingredients? Would they fit my lifestyle?'.
I couldn't agree more. Feels fucking unnatural. People are so afraid of being alone, that they'll pick through a list and 'settle'.
Only time I found true love in my life is when I was most NOT looking for it. Sure you'll find someone to have fun with, plenty of sex, etc. But if you want true love (and after experiencing it I'd settle for nothing less) then you gotta work on finding it in you first. Having a mediocre relationship to keep you company instead will only delay that process IMO.
Then it'll find you when you least expect it. The wisest and most enlightened people I have ever met verbalised that to me, and having experienced it, I have to agree.

Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

What's wrong with wanting fresh thread info where you could ask some more questions if people respond? Geez
I've online dated off and on over the last 5 years. Met a lot of girls but my summary is that most of the girls are on there because they are the types who won't compromise for anything in the relationship.I ended a lot of short relationships because the girls wanted me to make a lot of compromises but as soon as I asked for something it was non negotiable. It's all about timing though so give it a shot. Your dreamgirl may have just signed up too!
PM me if yoi have any questions. I can prob save you from dealing with some bs

I met my husband online.. I got tired of meeting people at bars.. Turns out he lived less than 10 minutes from my house if it wasn't for meeting him online I would have never crossed paths with him. He my polar opposite and it works out perfectly

there's a reason why Ythan and other admins have increased the data storage of their server(s) for this website. when there is an abounding 785 posts on the topic JUST in this sub-forum, and likely many in the pub, it pays to use the site as intended, as opposed to creating more clutter on a highly-discussed topic.
you all act like any information older than a few days is irrelevant.
again, UTFSE

Don't be sorry Conn. There's no reason not to start a new thread, you'll get different people interacting each time. Opinions are always changing.
@demiu5 - this is a forum, where people come to INTERACT. It's not a fucking library. Chill the fuck out please, if you're not gonna add anything useful to help Conn I'm gonna ban you from S&R for the rest of the day.

I've reread OP's message twice now and I'll be danged if I see anything about true love.
I've never gone beyond the "Register Now" message on any dating site but my bro has and I suspect he'd wholeheartedly agree with your second sentence though.
I believe he said something about the use of smaller local area dating sites being better.
