Posted: 11/4/2007 10:51:08 PM | Is Internet Dating perfect for people who are unable to find a suitable match for themselves due to their shy nature or even because of their work surroundings? If it reaches this point that one has to start looking for his or her date through the net, does this not put one in an awkward position, one has lost the game in the real life situation.  | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 12:02:04 AM | So Nudog What are you doing here? have you lost the game?
I for one do not go out on my own, even though I am NOT shy. And the guys I meet though friends, work, etc who do want to take me out, are deadbeats LOL. eg: Ockers (rednecks) checkered shirt/ beer swilling guys, so i prefer to look for someone in different place since I don't go and hang out in bars. 
how about you? | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 3:21:47 AM | its another tool in the game... as you put it...i meet people on here that i would not normally meet since my workplace is off limits ( I do not ever date people i work with)
if you ask the right questions and listen you can weed through the garbage so to speak...its a lot easier to hit delete than it is to tell someone go away at a bar..lol...oh and by the way i even meet people on here i already know which is kinda funny when you start asking questions and they are a friend's friend or a neighbor | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 3:42:21 AM | I always thought this place was just supplemental. C'mon, if the internet didn't exist, we'd all still find dates somehow, just not here. I donthink you "lose the game in real life" because, this isn't real life here. This is just a giant directory of people looking, nothing more. The "game" doesn't begin till you meet face to face, which means you "win" (if that's even possible) in real life.
What's with the merry xmas sign? | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 9:52:39 AM | | If you're shy in life or have job issues, you'll still be shy when you meet a girl and you'll still have to work around your job issues. The net doesn't magically change you or your situation. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 10:15:36 AM | re the OP:
"..one has lost the game in the real life situation..."
I can "see" how a person who has a GAME mentality re dating, romance and sex can reach the conclusions reached in the OPost.
But those of us who are not of a "game" mentality view the conclusions as based on faulty premises.
IMO, online dating is best suited for the "intellectually minded", due to the nature of the Internet medium. Bar based dating is for the one liners' minded. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 11:18:24 AM | Internet dating site forums are a great place to watch wind-up toys crash into each other and go "D'OH!" while making the same mistakes over and over again. It's fun to watch them complain.
thats all it is. entertainment.

Posted: 11/5/2007 11:51:01 AM | Well at this particular point in time, a man would probably have to throw himself on the hood of my car in order for me to meet him, truth be told!
But seriously...I get SO tired of hearing about internet dating....Do I rely on it to meet people? NO!
Do I expect to meet "Mr. Right" on one of these sites...NO!
But then again...I've been out and about in the "real world" for a number of years now..And after having met some nice men, dated some and even had a few relationships...I just figure it's a case of casting the net a little wider...
Oh! And by the way...I have had, HANDS DOWN! Many more negative experiences with guys that I've met in bars or at parties, or anywhere else for that matter, than I've ever had on the net...
Just a little something to skew all of the statisitics there.... | |

Post 12: I think the OPost us referring to online dating, not forumming. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 8:14:47 PM | | The bonus with internet dating is ..Much larger circle..Hell You have pubs and work to meet people Gives you 10 to 15 miles and you better both be at the same bar at the same time .. It definately has its pros..cons , not too much, just as many nutters here as at any bar. and at least internet you can chat abit for prescreening..wade thru the looneys easier | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 8:21:26 PM | | First of all NUDOG I have not lost any game. I do way too much in my life to just date like normal people. I am a dutiful son taking care of a cancer and aheart patient. I work long hours, and I also like to jam with bands. I like dating sites cause i can meet people like me and cut the BS. What are you doing on this Site NUDOG. Are you looking for the right person or jsut here to to poke fun. | |

Posted: 11/5/2007 8:28:08 PM | Am not too sure what am doing here, cos I have a hard time believing that u could meet some 1 here to become a real thing . And am not too sure if I lost the game already or on the way to losing it , hey but am still happy alone or maybe??
Am not a loser but lets say the game gets harder as the years pass.
Calling it a game is not meant in the bad sense, i mean the whole dating thing.
Pink_Leather
Am here not to poke fun at nobody when I get home exhausted from a week of work where u don’t meet the opposite sex
The only thing reasonable to do is sleep cos my week starts on Sunday I wonder where are my hey days when school mate where jamming 24/7

Posted: 11/5/2007 11:48:43 PM | Lost the game? I don't think so.
It's just another way to meet people. Beats the hell out of trying to catch someone's eye across a crowded room, or trying to strike up a conversation in a noisey nightclub.
There are always horror stories, but I've met some really great people I might never have met in the course of my daily life. | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 3:05:12 AM | | I always find that if people are judging others for using a internet dating site then they themselves must be fairly insecure, and trying to prove that as a member they're not losers. Who actually really cares? I work for a small company with few employees none of which are my own age, I don't work in the same town my friends live in and really I do not speak to that many people out of work here. I enjoy coming on here to chat to people whilst I'm at work, I think that a lot of people are in similar boats to me. | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 3:33:51 AM | | If it was a case of 'losing the game' then millions of people have done so..LOL As many others have said, it's an extra avenue. Once you aren't in school anymore, and not a fan of bars etc... it gets harder and harder to meet new people. The net is a great way to talk to and possibly meet new people that you wouldn't otherwise in your regular life... Enjoy it for what it is, and you won't lose anything. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 5:41:34 AM | | I lost the game? wow, I must immediately stop going on dates then since I am now hopeless lol. I dont think too many people rely on the internet as their only way to get a date, most people just use it as a little extra something. I love being able to meet people I wouldnt otherwise have gotten to meet at all. if that means Ive lost..oh well call me a loser, I will happily answer lol | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 7:32:12 AM | | OP. Online dating is just a way of meeting people you possibly find more interesting than those you find in the pubs and clubs on a regular basis. I live in a small town, and I personally don't find any of the local men interesting, because they all have the same 'Work 9-5, get married to someone who looks half decent, out with the 'lads' on a Friday, out with the 'missus' on a Saturday, fortnight in Benidorm once a year, or twice if you're lucky, Rugby on Sunday then back to work on Monday' mentality, and I personaly find it boring. Internet dating opens up a whole new world of possibilities. | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 8:36:58 AM | re msg 25:
My case too (by analogy) and I agree with the POV of the poster on online dating's "opening of geo limits" (be they regional, state or country or continental or type of venue (eg bars or grocery stores)). | |
