Have you used a Dating Web Site ?
Do you know anyone who has used one,
is using one,
intends to use one ?

What have been your experiences on them (it).

the good the bad
and the down right obscure...

i am curious of peoples interpretations and sociology and psychology "Topical analysis perceptions" of them in genral (them being the people that comprise the nature of the community on them, be that in what ever form but a real and existing one not including random meetings).

A friend of mine used e-Harmony about two years ago. Over the space of about six months I'd say they connected her with about twenty guys. I don't know the mechanics of how they set up the contact, she was pretty diligent about responding to every contact that was made with her, but several of the guys didn't respond to the contacts she initiated. After progressing from e-mail to phone conversations about half of the guys seemed promising enough to meet in person. None of them were oafs and she didn't begrudge the time she spent on any of the "coffee in a public place in the daytime" initial meetings. She gave up on two or three of them after the one meeting and an equal number felt the same way about her. One of the handful who made it to a real date revealed his inner oaf but the rest were at least pleasant. Two had several repeat dates, I met one and it seemed like really good chemistry to me.

Eventually she decided to give her old boyfriend a second chance and withdrew from the effort. But that one guy still calls her, some day if they're both unattached I wouldn't be surprised to see them together.

Based upon my observation of her experience I would say the system works pretty satisfactorily. She is one strange lady yet e-Harmony kept cranking out these dudes who were reasonably compatible with her.

Sounds quite interesting.
obviousely its a completely different universe for the guys.
guys tend to throw money while women are used like a carrot on a stick.
soo
im curious of the nature of the system they used and if they actualy set up men with women instead of building the little princes type mentality.

there are some strange gender stats in many countrys now with wars and baby killings going on for the last 50 or soo years.
india and china killed off soo many baby girls it must be in the millions,
soo consequently have millions more men than women now which is about to be unleashed on the world (hopefully not).
where as some of the realy war torn countrys have serious lack of men and want them for building houses and digging farms and other such lovely romatic life styles.

sorry i digres.

I sugest to explore "seduction" sites instead of "dating" sites.

I've learned a lot about the art of seduction. Learn that and apply it in real life. Thats much better and much more funny than dating like that.

eHarmony sucks. The first time I took the profile assessment it told me I fell into the 25% of people they can't match. I was like "Oh shit". The next time I took it the same message appeared. Now I suspect they've removed this in favor of an open door policy, the final time I tried just about 3 weeks ago it let me go through. The problem is most of these woman are just sounding stupid, and none live in my area. It's funny because I realize now woman and men will never be compatible, let alone online.

My Seduction Ability is not in question.
You digres from the topic in your assumptive frame work of your post theme.

If i had a worthy candidate i would have no need to search (side line issue and off topic).

i have no issue with Seducing and Keeping a Gf as i have done on several occasions for sum number of years i personaly find the actual Talent out there to be somewhat discouraging in general.
those who are getting close to physicaly attractive are materialistic and
emotionaly shallow if not simply Narcississtic,
those who are more emoitionaly evolved are genraly older with kids.
and
i do not want to be anyones provider of neglected child welfare payments,
strung up with a relationship that is dictated from some disfunctional male father from a distance (the very idea makes me almost sick).

Free will is extreemly important creative independent single women are in extreem short supply all over the globe so it would seem.
