It's just another method of meeting someone.
Mutual friend.
Chance encounter at a gig.

wtf is online dating?

good way to meet people... but when you have to tell people how you met... it can be a bit embarrasing.
people gape and give you the "what the F***" look.

It is just another way of increasing your odds, nothing more. So I say yay.
I've met several women online, some are (were, rather) great, some not so good. 2 decent relationships (one an actress - when I was in LA, one a laywer), but many not so great dates.
Good, overall, though. Just make sure you go for coffee and save the cash for a 'real' date. Like if there will be a next time out.
I only ran into one girl that I would classify as 'psycho'. Ha! That was fun, calls every morning at 4 am!
Good luck, you sit (if you're like me) in front of these damn computers all day, might as well use it to your advantage.

I have to agree. I have tried it and really didn't get any results. i met some neat people, but I found out quickly that I wasn't generic enough to attract anyone other than odd balls.
What have I gained through the experience? People have a different tone in their voice than they do in text. For some, this can be an advantage or a disadvantage. Sadly, i am the latter.
I propose the we make a seperate online dating community for the geek/freak poplulation. The internet was our stomping ground once, then "the normals" came in an put us on reservations. Let them sit and sip Cosmos in their fuzzy sphere of contentment while we party our asses off in the streets.
I think now you can understand why i wasn't very popular in the online dating community :-)

Yeah, I know as many people who found 'true love' online as did in the real world. It's quick, cheap, and you know most of the basic facts before you even talk to them.
I will caution you, though. Chicks will get everyone from the horny 13 year old to some old guy wanting a young hotty to rendezvous with at his beach house, and of course everything in between. Guys aren't so lucky : (, so be patient (unless you look like Brad Pitt, maybe).
It works as well as anything else and chances are many of the people online are at least fairly skilled with a computer (unlike many of my friends).

I know lots of people with success stories... more so in the age group of 30plus.... this is basically because they've figured out what they really want by that age. From a girls perspective you probably get better results too because all those desperate guys looking for a quick fling usually go for under 30s anyway.

probably one of the worst things you can do on the Internet man

ahhh yes, online shopping. Here, forget about the dating sites and check out some of these hot aupairs. The best part, they cook and clean.

jason, i disagree. several people have found love and met friends.
it's just taking advantage of the technology we have.
sometimes i wouldn't mind finding a few new friends who i have more in common with to replace my boring friends.... ya know?
