I give my comments in two sections: first specifically on date.ca and second on internet dating in general.

COMMENTS ON DATE.CA I found the interface of date.ca to be very neat and functional. The search criteria works well, unlike other sites. In my local area, I can find a fairly large quantity of profiles in my late twenties age group. In their appearance, the women are fairly spread out . The date.ca did something strange to my profile: on several times when I changed it, a few lines of text were erased after passing through the customer approval centre. I asked the service about this problem twice, but never got an answer.

COMMENTS ON ONLINE DATING IN GENERAL. I am dissapointed with online dating. My comments are biased according to my male gender, also according to the fact I got hurt and am trying to warn guys out there. I divide my response in four parts to illustrate why it's a real bad deal for "normal" friendly guys. 1. DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. I am relieved to see other guys writing their negative comments because I was taking it personally. I got a very low response to the emails I sent. I had my profile reviewed by some people, made for sure it sounded honest & good with not much improvement. One of the reviewers actually writes advice for men. I bought his book and it helped improve my dating scene a lot, but I can't find a satisfactory relationship online.

2. BAD RATIOS. Most sites have a male to female above the 2:1 ratio, which makes the demand/ supply unreasonable. First, it makes guys pay for the subscription fees. Guys already have to pay for the first date just to not look cheap and now we have to go to en extra ass kissing, pleasing level. The normal women which you meet in person get suffocated by gifts and don't feel attraction for that kind of behavior. Now the internet ones are totally demanding and if they don't get what they want there are 10 other guys emailing them to choose from. I can understand why women behave like this. If the situation were reversed, with a lot more females then males, I'm sure that the guys will not act much better. I find the personality of women that I meet in dance lessons, or via friends, to be far more friendly.

3. YOUR PROFILE IS IN COMPETITION WITH MANY ASOCIAL GUYS Some internet women openly say how bored they were of the previous guys they met right up front. There might be some truth in it, but I can't really know how all the other guys are like. Maybe a significant proportion of the guys are just non-social internet maniacs, but I can't know that. One woman I met in real life after a few emails and phone calls told me that the last person she met online and met in person proposed to her. Am I lumped into that category of losers? To be honest, I felt uneasy when she asked me why I tried an online dating site.

4. OBSESSIVE MSN CHATTY WOMEN Another woman I met in person after a few emails turned out to be a bit bland. After our meeting, we did an MSN chat and I told her that I didn't find the chemistry happening. She told me that she had ten chat friends. A few weeks later, she did an email to about 12 guys not realizing that all of us would see each other on the recipient lists. I saw that she logged in every single day that I have, meaning she probably did it every day. On many sites, I see the same profiles popping up every time when I do a sort according to last login dates and I think that there might be people out there with too much time on their hands.

5 THE QUALITY OF THE WOMEN ARE LESSER ONLINE I really think that a guy should have his life on track and just do pass times where he can meet women in a more normal environment. You just have to realize that there are a lot of desperate women out there that get quick ego boosts from all their attention. Once you get past their attitudes, you realize a lot of them have low self esteem, don't have friends, do drugs, or have some not normal component in their lives. There simply are a lot better women out there, you just have to find them. They will not be online. The good ones with no problems already have 30+ emails a week and will end up being converted into a bitch you don't want to be with. There will probably be women that are really pleasant to be with that will not like my comments. I have found some of you in my life, but NEVER online.
