I think u r the most truthful person here. I kinda doubt any relationship can take place here. They are probably the founders of this website.

No, none of those posting are founders (Toby is the founder of the site, these are all just regular forum posters.

I happen to know that some here are having relationships, and at least a few of those are in love.

I have no idea whether you'll find it, and no luck for me so far, but you never know.

Try posting on some of the other threads so people can get to know you.

Truth be told, I haven't been on this site for ages, as it's near impossible to meet anyone!
I met one flirtboxer (which was good!) but haven't had any more success. I still think that the easiest way to meet people is in bars and pubs and through friends and activities.

This site doesn't seem very good, but much the same as most others. Mainly because of distances and women thinking the grass is greener elsewhere. But obviously net dating is going to play a big part in the dating game of the future.

These sites are a bit of a game and on the whole women seem to be in control, mainly because of the numbers game.
With men it depends on whether your face fits, especially when it comes to Internet dating site forums.

I know this game has always been played out in real life. Even more so now women don't feel the need to rush into relationships as they once did, because there's no stigma now of a women being on her own. But real life hasn't got the problems with all the constraints the net has.

I think cams/video's will play a big part in the future, with video profiles and messaging, also video forums will replace written ones.

I think meets are the best tool for men at the moment, and it does put men in the shop window. But with meets it does bring a lot of pigeons home to roost, and men in particular have to make sure they haven't elaborated with their pics, profiles or Internet persona's. Any lies end at meets for both men and women though.

I hate using the word shallow, but I have met a lot of it from women on theses sites. Often because the constraints they set up for themselves, and some women wonder why they don't have any success.

But I know there are some successes and I've known of weddings and even babies resulting from these sites, which is good.

This might sound controversial, but its something I've put a lot of thought into.

Welcome Smile

Well bare in mind some of the users registered and left the site.
You might wanna check their last log in time to see if they still logs on.

Good luck anyway

There are LOADS of problems with internet dating:

- as Jerri said, people register and never come back or only come back once in a blue moon

- people have unrealistic expectations, either of what the site can provide, or of the people on the site

- people have virtually blank profiles, which fails to attract and doesn't give much inspiration for a 1st PM

- scammers and weird/dirty messages put others off. I think this is a big reason why people give up early or don't respond to PMs.

- in a similar vein, loads of blokes are just looking for love. You just have to glance at all the love requests around. It's the same in the chat room, at least 50% come in and want instant 'fun'. I think this puts off a lot of women looking for a 'serious relationship'

- like jeggs said, distance.

- people don't use the forums enough!!! Reacting to other people on a forum is more real than filling in a profile!!

- ultimately, for whatever reason, there are roughly 3 times as many men on this site as there are women.

I agree with most of your post.

What reasons do people come on this site? The four main ones that come to mind is either a relationship, chatting, love..or a mixture of all three.

But people probably do maybe try and punch above their weight in who they can attract, that goes for men and women. You have to make sure you are totally above board when using these sites?

There are women on these sites that are seeking love, but because of the 3 to 1 don't have to ask in the forums/chat. Except for bi ones looking for women...women have to request for other women for love [as men do]..but not for men

But a lot, maybe most women in my age grooup are looking for men a lot younger then them, why would they do that?..maybe mainly for love. Would a late 40's/50 plus women, have or be expecting a lasting relationship with men in their mid 30's, or just love related one??

It'obvious most of ya'al are having same problem as me and was wondering if one of the posts sent(that most members are either inactive or just not responsive) is true.I think the site(flirtbox) management needs to rise up to the occassion to make the site more endering hence increasing the chances of retaining its members. Internet dating is the in-thing these days and Peeps are becoming more adventurous.
