Poll: Is net dating is better or worse than meeting someone in real life?

Have you experienced it? Do net dating sites work for you? Have you had terrible experiences of it or really good ones? Is it any better or worse than dating somebody you meet at work or when you are out? net dating horror stories? 
Oh and there is a poll to vote on

My personal experience is dating sites are not that good for meeting people, but I have met people from social networking sites and my previous girlfriend I met after becoming friends on myspace simply because we liked a lot of the same bands and got to know each other before meeting.
The last girl I dated whom I met in real life first was a girl I met at work and she turned out to be totally wrong for me in just about every way except the physical side.
Also the net can bring some f*cked up people in to your life at times. I was seeing a woman from Liverpool once who said she was single. Then one day her boyfriend called me to ask what I had been doing at their flat... 
Takes all sorts I guess

| I've never met anyone off t'internet. I don't whether i would either. It's all great chatting away to people, but people usually are disappointing and I'd be annoyed I'd wasted all this time and effort for someone who isn't as interesting as they initially seemed! Plus there's the extra worry of them being an axe murderer or psychopath....
But then it does depend on the person. Perhaps over time i could be persuaded if i liked them enough and felt i'd enjoy the experience. |
Nothing ventured is nothing gained

I see i f*cked up the poll question with a stray "is"
Interesting results and comment so far. If net dating is becoming so popular why is there still a bit of a stigma attached to it for some people? I know of people who have lied to friends and family about how they met their partner because they didn't want to tell people they met online

Also its not good chatting to women that meet other people but don't want to meet you, especially when the tell you they are meeting them. Can be a total ego killer if you think its because of your pics. |
Would they not even meet you as a friend? If not then they might have thought you wanted to be more than a friend and decided they didn't want to encourage that?

| That made me think..... I've often said that I like a guy who feels successful, but that it doesn't matter to me if he's viewed as being successful by others. I suppose it's a quality a positive thinking person would have, but also it's about confidence too. |
One of the things I noticed about this site is a lot of men and women seem to turn up here directly after a painful breakup. When you think about it, that probably isnt the best time to get on a dating site in order to try and attract somebody else as they are often feeling down, hurt, angry etc.
Having said that, there are always exceptions to the rules.

34% think net dating is worse and 34% have not met anybody off the net yet.... probably all men getting no replies to messages

I third that! on this site I just never feel 100% that a person is who they say they are anymore. Too many people making fake profiles of the opposite love to have a lugh with etc. It makes you feel too suspicious and uneasy.

| It's not just this site, tho, is it? Anywhere on the net, you can't be sure of the love of the person, can you? You can't be sure of anything...
For example, that Miss Pebbles the dog - I just think it's not really a Miss! Cos if it was, she'd be Miss Pebbles the bitch, wouldn't she? 
The thing is, what could be done to stop those fake profiles? How could the site ensure that all the people opening profiles were who they say they are? Or rather, how could it be done without any intervention or checking by people on the site? (Since they don't want to spend time vetting people.) |
I dont think it is just this site but this site does seem to have quite a problem with it, I think maybe because it is free. It seems some people on here like to make multiple profiles and pretend to be other people which is just weird really and probably illegal. Also, recently I pointed out that a person had a profile pic of a flowerbed and nothing else, just goes to show how lax the photo approving is on the womens side as there are many that shouldnt have been approved.
My own opinion is that this site needs to be totally redone.
