What is fakku's general opinion of online dating websites?

Never personally, although a few of my friends have had some rather varied results, although nothing significantly different than their attempts to find love IRL.

To be honest I have not met anyone personaly who has found true love on dateing sites. Im going to assume its a hit or miss only because if they didn't work at all I doubt theu would spend the money they do on marketing.

Well I'm not a judgmental dick but it's not something I could personally do. For me it's that my comfort zone is an airtight bubble of industrial grade hydro-formed steel. I'm a very anxious person and and when it's not anxiety it's pride. So personally I couldn't do it/trust it. However if dared by a close friend or challenged by somebody who means something to me I'll try most things once.
I'm sure however that it's possible if the two people are genuine enough. I'd be on the look out for rapists, murderers, hermaphrodites, and those disgusting transsexuals.

wish there is the option of choosing more than 1 option on the poll.
met my ex online but not on a dating website.
haven't gone on a dating website, accidentally clicked on them, viewed them but didn't go further

edit:I chose the psycho that won't leave me alone.
that is what my ex did for some time good thing he isn't bothering me anymore. and some other guys

I think it's a waste of time and wouldn't ever use one.

Tried using one in 2011. Depressing times...

2 years later and much more happy with life, i don' think i'll ever consider using one again. I let it come to me instead of searching desperately.



Because you know, if you want to search for love elsewhere instead of IRL, you must TOTALLY be a social outcast right...?

I met my husband online (not an online dating website) but online anyways. We just celebrated our two year anniversary so, by default, I have to vote for its worth your time.

I think that a lot of people who are saying its a waste of time tried to use online dating websites or online relationships more than going out and trying to meet someone. Either way your chances of having a bad encounter or getting rejected are high. Ex 1- you message someone online and it starts out good but something happens and that person turns out to be a crazy bitch. Ex 2- You hit on a girl at a bar and BAM rejected in 5 seconds.

Either way its all about chance.

I have to say its not a waste of time, the trick is to keep at it. Its worked for me in the past, and since I am busy working or doing other things, I don't often get to go out, so its a nice way to meet people from home.

I've never tried it for this reason here:
All the friends I know who have tried it told me about how nightmarish it was!
I mean have you seen some of the guys on OK Cupid? It's frightening. I just have the impression that all the guys on there are dudebros who whine about the friendzone and say 'cool story bro now go make me a sandwich,'
Appearance of guys usually don't matter for me, personality does! So I try to avoid those who go online to lie and flatter women just to meet and fuck them.
Maybe one day I'll give it a go, but I'm not going to get my hopes up :/

I didn't want to go out with someone younger then me, and yet had kids... I don't like kids, and that wouldn't work out
