No i mean like finding people to meet in person for a real date lol.

 

ok just checking...some people claim they love people they have never met in person cuz they have been in an online relationship and stuff which makes me laugh...i can see finding people online to date in real life but still just not my thing im a go out and rage it and find a chick that i vibe with instantly in real life...some people may need to do it online for different reasons so to each their own...like you said there have been plenty of marriages started from dating websites also lots of flops lol

Yeah lots of people meet up from online and just don't click' date=' i think if your a shy person and find it hard approaching people it's a great way to meet people.[/quote']

 

Shy people doing internet dating is not a good thing. You work up all kinds of game online, but then fail to live up to your own hype in person.

 

I farted around on plenty of fish once back in the day... it was 5000 dudes per 1 cute chick.

 

And thats probably a conservative estimate' date=' lol

 

what does that even mean lol

 

I think it means you meet someone who isnt what they claimed to be.

Have you ever done it? would you ever do it? do you know anyone that's done it? if so did they have good or bad experiences from it?

 

I don't find it to hard to meet women/men so have never tried it but if i did i'd give it a go' date=' a friend of mine met his now wife on a dating website.[/quote']

 

Nothing wrong with it unless you're being dishonest.

Been there & done that...its ok if your just out having a good time and happen to encounter someone you like' date=' but you can find out so much more by chatting before you meet them. You can avoid a ton of drama and wasted effort.[/quote']

and you can find out a lot about a person by having a conversation with them in the flesh. i prefer to be face to face with the person, thats all. dosent mean you are just looking for a good time if you are meeting face to face as oppossed to the internet

 

and drama only happens if you complicate things. keep things simple to start with and get to know someone.

surely theres somebody else on here who fell for some young skinny chick with nice breasts from california but turned out to be some 47 year old 500 pound hillbilly dude from arkansas that lives in his fathers trailer.

 

am i not the only one? was i at least the only one who still hit it afterwards?

I like meeting people in person by chance in the real world

 

Me too but im married and have enough friends but i see it as just another tool people can take advantage of and enjoy. You can meet some really cool people in cyberspace that you wouldn't have met otherwise. You can also meet some scumbags, poser's and con- artist but that's no different than on the street.

I wasnt disagreeing with you initially, just speaking from my own perspective, there is no right or wrong answer.

 

I think there is real value to doig it in person, and quite frankly - it eventually comes down to that either way. Thats why I said some people hide behind a keyboard and put up a good game online, but fall short in person.

Truth

 

With all the photoshop and chances you have to think of your reply and sound smooth, there's no way you could live up to your internet image...And if you don't sound smooth and look perfect, the person will just choose to talk to the one that does

 

Internet dating could work, but you have to remember to always look better and be cooler in real life so there experience with meeting you is remembered as a positive one

Then why do you spend so much time on a forum trying to impress your e-friends.

glad to see you stick to your word and stay away

 

to answer your question, we are talking about internet dating and I dont see this as an internet dating site unless this isnt the UFC forum and we are not in the outside section but really on a dating site that happens to have exactly the same features than the UFC forum

 

also, who am i trying to impress exactly? coming onto a forum and having a laugh or chatting with other people about stuff you like now constitutes trying to impress? i see why you fail at life

 

here's a tip for you. try spending some quality time in the real world for a bit and stay away from all internet activities and see if you can improve yourself as a person, then maybe you may be accepted as an ok guy when you come back with a different attitude.

 

or stay as you are and have no online friends, I dont really care either way. just some friendly advice

there's too much drama in real life, do we really need to pretend fake e-drama is necessary? i mean, come on now, it's ****in one website forum of thousands on the internet, if it's that bad just don't post here

 

at the end of the day, this is just a forum for people that like ufc. none of us even know who each other is minus who our favorite fighters are and a few other things. none of this matters...unless you are that japanese guy who takes the internet serious

I only met one person from the internet, we've been married for eight years. We met on a forum, had lots in common, and started talking on the phone a lot. She came to visit me in the states for two weeks, then it was torture to be away from her. She came back down 3 months later, we got married, and a couple of months later I moved up to the cold tundra that is Montreal.

 

Before that happened I was a smug ******* that used to rag on my friend for his internet hookups. :P

I honestly don't know why people wouldn't use dating sites like e-Harmony or Match. You get to fine tune the type of person you're looking for and get matched accordingly. Sure, you'll have a few people lie here and there, but overall, the chances that you meet someone who fits your tastes is much greater than bars, clubs, etc... Etc.

It's because it takes the romance out of it (for some). Some people think it needs to happen where they just accidentally bump into the man/woman of their dreams and it's just all happiness and wedding bells from there on in. The idea of paying $9.95 for a shopping list of people to find your husband/wife doesn't seem as challenging or rewarding

 

The thing is though, it's the exact same romance needed as finding someone in-person. You may have a different starting ground, but you are not going to find your husband/wife unless you sweep them off their feet and have some sort of game.

 

Also, it's true that you could weed out a lot of people that you know aren't your type very early on. I personally think it's very cool and useful for people who don't get out much in scenes where there are singles
