If I stop meds I die. My body handled it as a teenager but I was under weight and constantly under strain. My hormones were a mess and my immune system would crash occasionally leading to 105F fevers where I'd do nothing but stare at the wall blankly for entire days until it went down. Now at almost 30 with some heart trouble I'm certain the insomnia would kill me.

t has a different approach that feels less sketchy cause you and your friends essentially act as “wingmen”

If I had friends I wouldn't need online dating sites.


eharmony is just a stricter version of the rest. Their long starting questionaire rules out most of the people, like me, who are hard to match or want casual sex so they can boast a higher matching rate than other sites and longer relationships. It's really all just the same people though as the free sites.

Why not rename this the 'Online dating questions' thread instead of having them all fragmented ? Just a thought.

its okey if you do online dating,for me it is much better if you really meet someone in person, but there are also chances of getting to know in an online dating...its your choice where your comfortable with "online dating or meeting someone in person."

I can't tell you how many horror stories women have told me about their online dating experiences.

I have been exposed to research that indicated that at least 80% of men who are dating online are lying about at least one material fact.

Men will write in their profiles what women want to read; e.g., long-term, exclusive relationship leading to marriage when what they really want is quick sex, but if they told the truth they'd never get dates.

My ex is on Match & has been for about three years. She has yet to meet one decent guy. She has met only con artists & flakes. She met a guy for their first and only date. He had written in his profile what she wanted to read. While dining with him, the topic of conversation transitioned to sex, assuredly directed by him. She told him that she would not become intimate unless she was in a committed relationship. He got up & walked out on her.

Not all that log ago there was a story of a man who was online dating. He had intentionally infected 300 people with HIV. He is not the only online dater to have intentionally infected others with HIV. One has to wonder how many people who are dating online that have diabolical motives.

My ex said she'll require a blood test prior to intimacy. She has told me that she hasn't been intimate with anyone but me. I hope she remains committed to her blood test requirement. I think it's extremely wise to trust but verify. And an STD panel has a 24 hour turn around. If someone can't wait 24 hours before intimacy, you'd have to wonder why.

Online dating sites is fine.. It's an opportunity for you to meet new people
but if you can grab some time, try to stroll around the neighborhood and
meet real people in person.. Actual conversations and sharing of experiences
are some of the great contributors of a lasting relationship..

I actually met my current boyfriend on Plenty of Fish, and the one before that on OkCupid.

I am younger, but my ex boyfriend was a good guy (distance was the issue), and my current boyfriend is absolutely incredible and we're starting a family together. I can't see myself with anyone else.

I don't go parading around about how we met because it seems silly to people my age for some reason... but if I had to do it again, it's probably the route I'd go again. Both sites are easy to understand, free, and you can easily weed people out that you know you won't be compatible with. I am fairly good looking girl and I like to think I have a matching, if not better looking personality. I got a lot of responses from both... but I am picky, I've been through a lot and didn't want to mess around with 'well maybe this will change'. I feel these these two sites got down to the dot of what I was looking for in someone.

I am active on both OKcupid and POF. Take advantage of the settings. You can edit it where people can only message you if they don't smoke, are certain ages, live within a certain distance, or even make a certain amount of money.

I've been on and off POF for years. My current bf and I have been together three months so far and going strong. We met on POF. Just goes to show you can find some "keepers' on POF We met on the site in may were friends for a bit til we decided in July we made it official. We been together and inseparable ever since.
