>> Has anyone had any luck with online dating? If so what sites do you use?
@hipster007: Â I tried it. Â I've got some funny nightmare stories. LOLÂ If you list much about yourself, you'll get some exaggerations and straight out lies just so you'll take them on a date.
 One in particular told me that she was very down to Earth, lived a simple life, loved dogs and jogging. In reality this meant that she had a job at a Vet clinic and likes jogging shoes.  She went so far as to buy a complete brand new jogging outfit (jacket, pants, shoes). When I agreed to meet her (for dinner) she was wearing this new attire and it was OBVIOUS that she was not a jogger. When I asked her why she was wearing jogging clothing (maybe planning a jog after dinner? ...in all new clothes and shoes) she came clean and said she can't jog anymore because of her ankle. So on the way out I noticed that she is walking to a Hummer.  Really? The largest gas guzzler on the planet and THAT's "Down to Earth and simple"? I've had numerous occurrences so I'd recommend just getting out more.You'll never be happy if you're living a lie and that is what I found a lot of on the online sights.  I'd recommend doing the same thing that you enjoy doing now, but join groups or clubs.Â
@DiverDude:
Omg, lol! I don't get people lying. It's like you aren't going to actually see/ know this is a lie at some point??
While I don't see anything wrong with online dating, it seems exhausting to me because the truth is while you may actually meet more people, I think the quality maybe lacking. And failure rate is very high. So the plus side is just exposure to more people.
I wouldn't do it. I'd just live my life with an open mind. When you make it a priority, something seems to go very wrong. There really are lots of weirdos online too. I don't think the success rate is very high. Even tho you may meet more people, the net causes a barrier to truth that may not be good. 4951
