Posted: 2/11/2008 12:15:20 PM | its not the same dating land that it used to be out there people are different
its almost like people know too much with cosmo and other magazines poluting peoples brains the dating scene in bars is crap people just want sex when they are out in clubs and not relationships sites like these are good fun and they can help your confidence and if you meet someone then great but its more just to converse with people with out the drunk setting of a pub well thats why i am on this site anyway | |

Posted: 2/11/2008 1:08:45 PM | I'm on here because I'm not the standard beautiful 24 year old that can get picked up. I'm lucky if a guy thinks of me in that light. But I'm not even here for that anymore. Since this online thing is the same as being out in the real world. I'm looking to just make some local friends at this point.
Some of us don't have the luxary of being born gorgeous! Just remember that! | |

Posted: 2/11/2008 1:35:11 PM | well im onli 22 but i dont see aproblem with me being on this site simply because, i dont approach too many women in the first place, too shy initially for that... and just like older people have trouble finding someone to be with.. young people are finding trouble meeting good people too, and our generation is alittle more complicated now, so why cant we get alittle help too
and about the younger people having no lives thing that was kinda offensive, were on here just like the older people are, why cant we just like meeting ppl we KNOW we might click with first on the net?plus ud be suprised, alot of us "young people" are more mature than u think, maybe more mature than some older ppl. | |

Posted: 2/11/2008 2:22:47 PM | Sure I'd love to meet more people irl, but dealing with anxiety, work, being too busy, rarely ever getting approached and more, it's not easy. Young lives these days are not much different than some older lives with being busy, don't come off as being a deemed biased 'interweb' user.
I don't have the great self worth of young hot looks to attract droves of potential daters. So net wise things are much easier for me.
I'm a bit older than your demographic, but at my age even(meeting people on the net since 17) and there ages moreso, growing up of the computer generation, this is our meeting spot, this is our bar culture(since most bars are now meat markets, this gives us hope!) that you guys had years before.

I can understand older people being here... moms, dads, business, those of us having to care for their own parents etc..
ouch | |

Posted: 2/11/2008 3:48:39 PM | I was wondering the same question, but there are some understandable answers on here.
I just remember from 18-25 I had a large group of single friends and we were always meeting new people, it was a social center in itself. In college & after, until most of us married and/or moved.
Maybe the internet has changed that dynamic. | |

"Some of us don't have the luxary of being born gorgeous! Just remember that!"
You are gorgeous- I hope I can say this in an unoffensive way- you are beautiful but overweight- weight is something that can change- many people are thin and ugly or fat and ugly.
I consider myself average in the weight's department and average in the looks department. When I was single and 70lb heavier- I barely got a second glance from a male- my ex used to joke I clubed him over the head and dragged him back to my cave- the only way I got a man was by settling for one who treated me like crap and persuing him with little recriprocation till he realized and settled for me too. Lost the 70lb, dumped him- but had little to no experience dating- got picked up in a bar- bad results- definatelty not the relationship I was looking for. I work in a field full of women, all my friends are in their 20's, single and somewhat shy. I went to school (all girls), went home and did school work, went to the gym (I REFUSE to pick up men at the gym- I am there to work out- I don't want to have to consider if being sweaty is a turnoff). I met a great guy on here- 33 years old, but works as a carpenter- all men, and doesn't drink (no picking up in a bar)... Lots of young people lead similar lives :) | |

| hmmm

Posted: 2/26/2008 9:48:47 PM | | Because women my age (23) tend to be after douche bags so I have to expand my seeking capabilities if I'm going to find anyone half-decent. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 11:00:00 PM | Define a good time with peers? What comes to my mind is: pubs, pool halls and clubs...which are horrible places to meet women, ( in my opinion anyways) they have their guard up, plus they've allready been hit on by 90% of the guys in the club. At least online you know, what they're looking for relationship wise.
Furthermore, depending on the person, mayhap they aren't looking for someone that tends to go out to the clubs all the time. Or they are seeking someone who is over " the club/bar, etc, scene" and is looking to lay down roots, get serious, focus on other things.
Odds are: you are less likely, to find someone, old fashioned & family oriented at one of these places. Of course as everyone learns sooner or later, the internet is just as much, of a crapshoot, when it comes to meeting people, as any other place.
By the by, last time i checked, "starting off life" is full of obligations and responsibilities. Especially if you want to get anywhere in life. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 11:11:56 PM | The little pirate hookers like to date, out of their normal social circle. Porsche beats Chevy any day of the week - Arrrr!  | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 1:19:03 AM | | It's definately hard to find someone old fashioned and family oriented at the bar. When you value these things, you're kinda stuck with the internet or pure dumb luck. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 7:52:49 AM | i have a great time with my peers and a great lifestyle but i dont see the problem with being on here at a young age...it gives you the chance to meet with people from other areas etc.
besides, variety is the spice of life ;-) | |

| Why are the young people on here?
Posted: 3/30/2008 3:20:51 PM | | I come on here because I want as many opportunities as I can get. I want to be proactive with meeting the woman that is right for me. If I cant be at work or in class or at a club connecting with someone then maybe on here. | |
|
| Why are the young people on here?
Posted: 3/30/2008 3:26:26 PM | cuz i was sick of going out, meeting a random guy or girl when I was drunk, having a one-night stand and not even remembering them the next day. It's impossible to meet someone and get to know them when you met in a club etc. I wanted to get to know someone first. And I found the love of my life here!!

Posted: 3/30/2008 6:47:33 PM | Didn't read all 7 pages but...obligation free???
Maybe sort of in the summer, but between a full college courseload, a part time job, and occasionally taking time to sleep, I wouldn't really call myself "obligation free."
Most of the people I meet are in the same situation--busy students.
Being here, though I am not actively looking for anyone, lets me meet someone at a DIFFERENT place in their life that may be more complementary to my own...like a busy young professional. It's all about exposure to diverse groups of people. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 10:02:38 PM | 18 -25 obligation free ? I guess somebody grew up with a platnium spoon in their mouth.. Cus most people I know in that age bracket are hustle'n and bust'n their ass to make ends meet while also get'n an education.. Im just outsdide that bracket at (28) I like being on the site cus i can meet people at my own pace.. I still go out with the boys and hit the clubs hit the party's all the fun stuff that comes with being young and living in a party city like Tampa, FL ... The web is just another avenue that I can use to meet people. A lot of the women I meet on here hang out at the same clubs I go to, but are the ones that are shy in the club hide'n in the backround and never get on the dance floor... This site helps shine a light on them, so I can make sure they don't get away ! LOL  | |

I have noticed quite a large fish population here amoung the 18-25 age group.
My question to all of you, men and women alike is......
I can understand older people being here... moms, dads, business, those of us having to care for their own parents etc.... but what I don't understand is the need to be on an internet dating site for all you young, obigation free, im hoping child free, people who are out there just starting your lives. Those again that I assume are out and about having a good time with your peers.....
Why are you here???
Thanks
wow.. seriously
ok
i am a full time student completing my 2nd degree..
i also work fulltime ontop of school and work out 4-5x a week
im not into the club scene- and most of the guys there are pigs anyway.
age has nothing to do with being on a dating site.
"young" people have busy lives too!
and maybe we like being on dating sites because it gives you the ability to pre-screen and get to know someone a little bit before going blind into a date not knowing anything at all about the person.
that being said.. you my dear are only as old as you feel... maybe you should take some of your own advice and get out and enjoy life.
obligation free my ass.
- im sorry but ive been on my own since the age of 18 - obligation free- RIGHT
i pay for school - i pay for rent- i pay for everything i have and i have earned every bit of it. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 10:18:20 PM | Eh, I'll admit it: I only have a select few friends, and alas, none are female. All my friends from high school have moved out of the city to more prestigious colleges. The college I go to is notorious for having no social life (you just go to class and get out).
That, and I prefer older women. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 5:01:27 AM | take it easy over there tanasauris... it wasnt a direct insult. Don't get your lil scales in an up roar.
I was simply asking ( as I stated about 7 pages back if you would have read the entire thread) that I was curious why so many young people were on here? I never said you DIDNT have responsibilities.... its just that in my generation with the same responsibilites it was better at a young age to be out and about rather then sitting behind a computer.....
Wheewwwwwwwwwwww sensitive younger generation lol!
To the rest of you.... Again I thank you for your responses you are a great group of young people!
