Posted: 12/4/2008 11:58:58 AM | How would you describe your 'meeting people online' experience?
For me personally, I would tell my friends to take it with a pinch of salt  , you can meet really nice online friends but that is not 'for real'
And I am really worried about the general life values people seem to loose online, it seems their values are gone wrong.. maybe due to being lonely
It seems in this mad game people's achievements and their personality is taken into less consideration then they looks. And people start changing their values.
Just seen a lady with masters degree working in finance and on her photos she is trying to play a half naked bimbo which does not suit her at all and it all looks really sad.. she obviously has loads to offer but is maybe in a wrong place 
And I thought, I am definitely not going to change my own life values and I am sticking to my beliefs ..  | |

and half-naked ladies with a Master's Degree are the best sort of graduate, IMHO! | |

Even an accountant has the right to let her "inner bimbo" off the leash sometimes who is anyone else to judge it's her profile.
No internet dating has not changed me, at least I don't think it has.
Has it made a difference to me? Yes it has.
Despite all the cynicism there are some real genuine friends to be made.

Posted: 12/4/2008 12:07:51 PM | | I'd say it's changed me because I now see all the stereotypes of men my friends have had but I never really ran into. I used to think they were just really bad at making choices...which they were. I seem to run into more of the type of choices they would make now online and now see where their bitterness came from. I'm now realizing I was extremely lucky to meet many of the men I've dated in my past. It didn't work out and I wouldn't date them again but it gives me a new appreciation for them. | |

Oh same here ! The guys I was in any relationships with in RL are sooooooooo different to any guy I met online! And not a little different but different for 180 degrees .. | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 2:05:04 PM | I have become defensive, cynical and low tolorance.. I have diswayed a fair few men due to this, though instincts told me they were rats or just plain players..
Internet dating or meeting someone through such means, has the tendancy to mess with your head..Or the men/women do.. | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 2:48:45 PM | Internet dating is a headfcuk!!! I have turned into a woman I hardly know...I am now wary, suspicious, untrusting, cynical, unforgiving, less tolerant...and guess who made me that way...men on internet dating sites.
I now know what guys get up to whilst 'working at home', working, married guys, attached guys...I could go on...really opened up my eyes to the male psyche
have made some mates as well, not all bad here | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 2:52:06 PM | I thought i was the only one feeling like that, love to blame the men..But i suppose some of them bring out old insecurities or just rub you up the wrong way..
god give me a decent man i meet online..lol
Really i don't think its any particular man or woman who makes us anything..just well you get wiser as you get older.. | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 3:05:20 PM | Wow...reading back since I posted..I'm quite shocked that this has changed some of you so much..
It's really quite sad.
I guess those I've met have been pretty sound..well..I know they were/are pretty sound.
Maybe I have just been lucky so far. | |

It's a bugger when that happens but I find that not nobbing them helps me maintain my self respect.
I admit though I'd be wary if my boyfriend said he was working at home I'd be suspicious that he was up to no good with the middle aged, not because I don't trust him but because he's a van driver. I don't think he's trying to hide his sausage in any poffers so that's one good one. I'm sure there are others.
Poor men get a bad rap
OT: Internet dating has made me happy, I quite like the Mr and I now get guaranteed sex once a week instead of the three or four times when I was single which means I'm also less tired and have more time for cooking and ironing underpants.

Posted: 12/4/2008 3:24:32 PM | I thought the OP was asking whether or not looking for dates on the internet has caused you to become more loose moraled and to behave in a way which you would never have dreamt of behaving prior to being exposed to the dirty minded folks who populate the net ?
I can happily say I've thoroughly enjoyed the occasions when flirting turned into something a lot more raunchy, not that my morals were ever or would ever be that loose to actually have cyber sex or show off my tits on webcam to a stranger but I've loved those chats which make you perspire with the heat of the words you are reading...it's been delicious and very educational too.
I have so many fond memories of Billy and Steven....and Gary ...and ..............oh yes a lovely young fella from lucan.....and a fine figure of a man who I won't name in case any forum users recognise who I am talking about and no it's not who you think it is.
Being a little uninhibited (but not too much) online is good practise for when you are poised for getting some real life action I think. It's all good clean fun, I don't see what the problem is with being sexually confident and enjoying your sexuality at all.
In fact I think I'll make me a new profile picture of me showing off my cleavage and smiling sweetly to attract some fellas for chat and who knows what else if they're lucky. | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 4:16:11 PM | that's a better bonnet alma,
I have found internet dating to be a very pleasant experience, I havn't tried or pretended to be anything I'm not , and after conversations ,messaging and forums, have found there to be lots of genuine people out there , I have also become quite good at spotting the fakes, I have a date tomoz and unless I am a dreadful judge of character after many hours talking,texting and IM'ing, will meet someone who I am expecting to meet and that's when the chemistry will kick in , we may get on famously as friends or comedy partners or might hate each other , however , there has been a lot of chemistry already so i will keep you all posted.
Of course there are fakes, of course there are people who get let down , but that happens in the real world as well as cyberspace , so keep on POF'ing everyone,,,,,,,

Posted: 12/5/2008 3:02:26 AM | I have been thinking about this last night and I thought that internet dating has an influence on my life which is not good but if you do not let it influence you than you are just there for a 'pinch of salt' experience.. and if you do let influence you then you meet all sorts of people who would not even talk with in real life.
Well, in real life I never experienced a serious guy asking me whether I am ready for some adult fun, these things you ask prostitutes on the street and there is no moment that I would find this acceptable or 'normal', these people do not approach me in real life so why would I give them an opportunity to approach me online ?
This is not how you are supposed to talk with a lady.. but it seems there is some 'fashion' going around where everyone is cool to be on loose.. modern or whatever.. people think just because you are online you are ready to accept these questions.. and I am personally not ready for that.. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 5:02:50 AM | No it hasn't changed me,i still find the whole thing hysterically funny and perhaps in my case safer than real world attraction.
I am sat here typing with a lump the size of a small hill on my head after straining round to ogle the fit guy that walked past me this morning...our eyes met just as i walked straight into a large bus stop sign and he walked away creasing with laughter...yeah ta very much luv | |
