Well, there have been some success stories of people meeting online and marrying and what not. So therefore, I wouldn't disregard it as silly.
Also, I never tried it (yet?).

eDating defeats the purpose of the whole thing since you're supposed to go outside into the real world and interact with people. Hit up the club or something. Of course, you worthless NEETs wouldn't know about this.

I guess they weren't otakus :(Dating online - there's too much competition I guess. If I would know a good site and then would get to know someone interesting - I would date her, why not...

Net dating is too risky not saying that meeting a person eye to eye is so safe. It's just it's easier to lie over the net then in person. Besides if you go outside it's more likely you find someone in your area rather than half way across the world.

Online dating can be summed up like this.
You don't need to spend a fortune on over priced beer to look.
Chances are you can find a great match online just as easily as anywhere else.
Chances are you can find someone just as ugly as you online without the need to do it around people that will just say no in person without so much as a thought of giving you a chance.

There need to be an option that reads: "No, but might in the future if things get really desperate."
At the moment I'm content to look in the real world for women, but my relationship past is so sparce I wouldn't rule anything out. The only problem with the online thing is lying, I guess you'd have to be careful.

I actually met my ex girlfriend online. It turned into a three-year long distance relatioship with frequent visits. (I went to see her about four times a year, for 2-6 week periods) Neither the fact that we met online nor the fact that it was a long distance relationship caused any problems, so I don't have a bad impression of the internet as a place to find a lover.
Online dating services however are somthing I don't think I'll use soon. The idea of actually looking for someone to date repulses me a little bit. I'd prefer just taking a chance at what comes on my path.

Oh, just to be clear, I didn't mean to take a jab at people who use online dating services. That's just my personal preference.

I guess depend on what someone wants, if he wants just some ordinary girl then he don't need the Internet. But if he wants something like a "great match" it's much more problematic - then the Internet could be a better chance...Posted 5 years ago # -
tried it once, didn't work but I might try again someday. I prefer online dating to clubs, in clubs you have to make a good impression really fast by using stupid hook-up tactics and everything is based on looks so you have to date a whole lot of people before finding someone that fits with your personality. I don't go to clubs often since I hate the atmosphere there, but I did got one date after meeting a girl there and we both ended up disapointed, the girl was beautiful but seemed totally stupid to me. And even though it didn't work in the end, the couple of dates that I had with the girl I met online were much better since we had things in common other than physical appearance.
Some specialists (don't remember if it was sexologists or social psychologists) say that the best way to meet someone is being introduce to a dating partner by a friend, since he/she knows both parties preferences. (it's surely the cheapest method in any case, that and random encounter)

I once did an experiment
I signed up to a dating site with two accounts
one was a woman's the other was a mans's
i think I got a couple dozen results from the female profile the first week,
the man's profile got I think 2 responses, and both were spam.
Kind of a large gender gap if you ask me.
all I can say from that is, if you're a guy its probably not going to work in your favor most of the time.
oh
if you're a girl prepare to get lot of pictures of men's junk being randomly sent to you...Posted 5 years ago # -
The gender gap in IRL dating is only slightly smaller than the one in online dating.
Picking up girls at the library/bookstore is a pretty good tactic.
Meeting them through mutual friends at a party/hang-out/camping-trip is a pretty good idea too.

Before reading all the above i'll just put in my two cents.
I wou;dn't do it but then i consider those who doit hopelessly desperate(and this is coming from a 24 year old virgin). HOWEVER if i say met someone on say WoW or AION then yeah but i won't go all e harmony. Though ironically my mom actually supports the idea. Go figure the 24 year old is less old fashioned than the 66 year old.

Maybe your mom just wants you to GTFO and get a girl...

She wants grandchildren and if you with 30 still live with your parents then online dating is definitely an alternative
