I think it's great to use online dating if you're looking to just meet people, have some fun or get laid. If you want more than that and choose to take online dating seriously then I envy your tolerance and patience. I'm someone easily jaded. But just because I'm not a champion of it doesn't mean I wouldn't support or encourage someone who is. Online dating isn't going to fade away in to the abyss. It's here to stay. But I'm not going to try and dissuade someone from using online dating just because I have my doubts about it. if I did, then THAT'S when you should get pissed at me.
"You're just saying that because you can't get hot guys!" You know what? I'd agree with that to an extent. I do resent the fact that certain guys are out of my league just because I'm 38, or because I'm not a size 8. But, as I've always said, everyone is allowed to have their "type." I'll sometimes shoot an e-mail off to a guy that I know probably won't respond. But, for the most part, I stay within my league. I don't over shoot too often. I know that, regardless of what I've achieved in my life or how wonderful I am, my sucesses don't hold a candle to a woman with a knock out bod who makes 40K a year. At least in the online world. People are less and less willing to take that risk online. It's all about how you look on paper. That's probably why so many people resort to "winking" instead of actually purchasing credits or a membership. So, I guess that sums up in a nutshell why I don't lurve online dating. It encourages everything that hate. Ineffective communication, little accountability and self-awareness and a total lack of risk.
