I was on this website for over a year and a half and as far as meeting men goes-- I met plenty. I must also add though that not one of these men has turned out to be of a character I would respect and trust in the end. I have never been lied to, led on and felt like I was part of some online dating game in my life! I kept on with it hoping to eventually find someone worthy who truly was on this site looking for a lasting relationship... I even got to know a few men over periods of months ( two being nine months) but even then I realized in the end that I would not even want to remain friends with them. I am not sure why I find this such a surreal way of meeting someone-- all I can say is that I really learned to live to believe the truth that actions speak far louder than words, and especially written words. I am not saying that it is not a great way to meet people because it is... I just think that once the game gets going it does not take much to make a guy jump to the next gal in the line up so to speak. There is no sense of trust or commitment ever developed by remaining on the site at all-- how could that develop if one sees their guy "online" all the time?!? I guess it all depends what one is looking for doesn't it?? But I find it disappointing to admit that after meeting likely over 60 men and receiving 1000's of emails and winks I feel more single and alone than ever... and by an unfortunate conclusion I also have to admit that this is likely a good thing for me despite my attempts at looking for something beyond being felt like an object of desire in the bedroom.
I respect myself more than that. I do appreciate the vast number of single people out there though-- but maybe the old fashioned way of somehow just meeting through everyday life is a whole lot more real and satisfying in the end no matter how much more difficult it is to meet... Maybe online dating makes it a bit "too easy" in every way :)
