JaydenTayler Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Hello Everyone, I am new here. I just want to know about online dating sites. Is it good to join online dating site? Can anyone tell me about them or share your experience.
Telemachus Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Very broad question. It all depends on what your objective is. To get useful information based on people's experiences, greater specificity from you would help. In general, men are seeking sex, women are seeking relationships, and expect most of what you see in words, numbers, and pictures to be outright false or otherwise deceptive. Depending on what you're trying to do and how much time you're willing to spend on the site and off the site with connections you make there, it may be wonderful, a total waste, or something in between. You'll probably have to try several sites to find one you like, and you may not find any you like. Again, it depends on what you're tying to accomplish. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. One common pitfall, other than discovering that few people are what or who they present themselves to be, is that it may be after you use your credit card that you discover that there are few or no people in your immediate area on the site, or that most of the profiles are fake or dormant.

Most of the content here is about US dating sites.
d0nnivain Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 OLD is one tool to meet somebody. Don't put all your eggs in that basket. Continue to try to meet people IRL. Before you select a site, look over a few. Do some research about possible niche sites (Christian Mingle; Farmer's only, etc.) if there is a category that fits you better than the big mass market sites. Have good photos of yourself to post -- one full body shot (not the shirtless flex in the mirror) & a decent head shot. Learn about marketing yourself & write an interesting profile, not the same old clichés about long walks on the beach.
palmsand Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 It takes trial, error, and patience. You will meet good people and bad people. You're profile needs to be on point in order to actually talk with and see people. My experience, utter failure at first. Met one person, one date, in the first six months. Then I fine-tuned my profile and put up some good pics and now I have a steady stream of dates. Came darn close to a serious relationship with the first one I met after revamping my profile, so yeah it's a good opportunity. I haven't run into anyone trying to be deceptive about themselves, except maybe ones without full body pictures. Of those I met, I turned out to be happy with their appearance actually, glad I met them. Your pics need to demonstrate that you are adventurous, spontaneous, and social. And pay attention to lighting, background, framing, etc.
FoundLove Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 After a year of trying online dating, I met the guy who eventually became my husband. I have to add that I was just about to give up on online dating altogether because I thought it just wasn't working. Thank goodness I kept going! We've been married for 3 years now. So yes, give it a try! It worked for me!
