irc333 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I was wondering, anyone notice an influx of people being more active on online dating sites as the holidays approach? Also, may be even in person as it's only 2 months before the strike of midnight people seek to find at least someone to kiss at midnight?
rocketman122 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Most of the times your posts are good but sometimes theyre just so meh. Asking endless questions Or just posting what youve observed in the dating world. Why do i have a feeling there many people who work for ls and post these things just to keep things "moving". Its not like youre asking many times, youre simply looking to create traffic. Same with some others here who post mearly to get reactions and posts/more traffic and make the site seem busy. Same i will say about the dumb posts from people who are new and just post with very little posts in their history. Many trolls but also many by ls. 3

rocketman122 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Sometimes i go in and read your posts. Almost never reply. Theyre mostly interestjng. But sometimes i say wth is this nonsense, and roll my eyes. But like i said, Im certain there are many here who posts topics to make the site seem busy. Its the reason this site has so much traffic compared to others. It is what it is. Just like you post your observations, im posting mine. Seems ur more interesting in posting than dating 1
Disillusioned Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 It means the cybershills are working overtime to post enough bogus profiles so they can get their holiday bonuses from the OLD rackets. :-p 1
StanMusial Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I like IRC's posts. They are like discussing the weather with a friendly stranger. "Well it may or may not rain, but if it does we will all surely get wet." 2
KathyM Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think it's probably true, that people step up their interest in dating in order to have someone special for the upcoming holidays. Someone to bring home for Thanksgiving dinner. Someone to go to all those holiday parties with. Someone to go out with on New Years Eve, and then Valentines Day is just a month later. So you're probably right--people get more serious about dating this time of year.
TB Rhine Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I personally find the end of the year to be a reflective time, a time when I start thinking about what I'm doing with my life, what I've done so far and what I still hope to do. Being a singleton in my thirties, a certain melancholy perhaps not surprisingly tends to accompany that. To be sure, if there's a time of year when I'm going to be more likely to try and strike up a conversation with an ex on Facebook, or ask out that girl in the next cubicle over who's continually been visiting her sick aunt every weekend the entire time I've known her, or revamp my OkCupid profile for the umpteenth time, foolishly thinking a little polish on the language (and perhaps a new default pic) will suddenly make me irresistable to all the flighty 22 yr olds, chubby thirtysomething single moms, and assorted other CHUDs who populate the OLD-isphere... it's gonna be the holidays.
FitChick Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think it slows down toward the end of the year because many have family commitments and also don't want to date someone new and worry about getting them a gift or not. Being invited to parties also means more opportunities to meet in real life.
