LDRohnos Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Obviously do not answer if you do not use dating site(s). I'm going to end up subscribing to one...I haven't used one in years, last time I did was when it was just first becoming popular. I am looking at link removed. I'm not going to spend 1000 dollars a month on dating sites and I'd rather just avoid the sites that are used by serial daters. Also I prefer not to get shanked and/or mugged at gunpoint on the first date. A site that's more respectable I suppose. I don't mind spending a bit of cash to get on a site, I just would rather stick to one than join 10 dating sites. Suggestions/Comments/Insults all welcome! Link to comment
octour Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Haven't used one, but try okcupid dot com. Its free. Maybe you could poke around this one and see if its something you want to get involved in. Link to comment
tmtex Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 POF, OKCUPID. Much luck with on POF, I am on match only been on there a month maybe 2......nothing Link to comment
laura40 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 POF is not the best dating website. I have found it full of men after one thing. OKCupid is good, more men on there who are not after one thing. Link to comment
sadchick83 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 If you live in NYC, why not just go to a bar...Tons of great people everywhere! Link to comment
LDRohnos Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ok just to make it clear, I'm not looking for men. I'm sure they're real nice and all but anatomically I'm not diggin it. Anyway yeah I've checked out POF and to be honest that doesn't seem like that great of a site. I'd actually rather spend money on a more serious site than one that's free. Link to comment
LDRohnos Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 If you live in NYC, why not just go to a bar...Tons of great people everywhere! I work long long hours. Plus going to bar's is about the last place I want to meet women. Been there done that. Link to comment
laura40 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Oops sorry, just realised you're a male. POF is not the best site if you are wanting a relationship. Link to comment
Fudgie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I had good luck with Match. I found my boyfriend on there and we were together for a long time. I like their layout. I'm not using it as i'm in a relationship now, but I still suggest it to those interested in online dating. Link to comment
Lamour detruit Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Order from people with the most serious intentions to the least. 1. link removed. People have to pay to use this site, and that in itself makes them more serious about the whole ordeal. Use this if you're looking for a relationship. 2. Okcupid..a mixture of people looking for hook ups, and relationships. Better quality than plenty of fish. 3. Plenty of fish. Not horribly by any means, but most women are looking to fauk around, even when their profile says they don't. Easy to find people to sleep with on there, so it is not all bad if you're not looking for anything serious. If I were you, I'd be careful to girlfriend anyone on there. Link to comment
LDRohnos Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Awesome yeah I was thinking match only because you actually have to pay for link removed. I am looking for a potential relationship so I'd like to avoid the women who just want a free dinner. Probably give it a few days, most of my friends think match is the best. Just want to try a new avenue for meeting women. All the ones I've met over the last 3-4 months have been really wrong for me. Which is why I said I wouldn't look for women in bars anymore Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I tried Match, POF, OKCupid, Geek to Geek, and briefly looks at Zoosk. I would say OKCupid is my favorite, its free and has all the same features the pay sites do. The Match site was decent, but I found that a lot of the guys on there were the same as on OKCupid and I didn't like they're profile set up. I found just as many guys on Match looking for no strings sex as were on the other sites. POF was only guys after sex, I think that site is pretty sleazy and have deleted my profile. I just met a really great guy from OKCupid, but I also have gone on lots of crappy dates. Its still a numbers game, the profiles are a jumping off point, but the dates make or break it for me.

Shorty389 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 ive tried pof myself and all the guys there just seemed to basically want a hook up, or didnt know what they wanted, so you are right its not that great of a site. im from ny myself impossible to find a good guy here at least for me lol ...anyway, i heard link removed is good my cousin met her husband off that site they now have a 4 year old daughter and looking to have another i wanted to try it myself but i dont really want to pay for a site even though thats probably where all the decent guys are lol good luck hope you find the right one Link to comment
definitely_maybe Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 No mention of eHarmony? They match you based on 29billion dimensions of compatibility. lol I have a POF profile, but I'm just a lurker, who does not know what he wants. lol Link to comment
Fudgie Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 eHarmony is a total joke, IMO. I tried to join years ago but after my test, I got an email saying that "Sorry but we have no matches available for you." I think it's a good choice if you're fairly "mainstream" and you're Christian and you're looking for someone similar. If you're eccentric, no, they don't know how to deal with you. Link to comment

I did answer the questions a few years ago as well, I was probably 20 or so - in the low age range for that site I would imagine. I also got no results at first, but later did get a number of compatible matches. I never paid, or took advantage of their free communication weekend offers. I can't help but wonder though if one or two good results are better than 100 * * * * ty * * * * * * . Link to comment
LDRohnos Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I already joined link removed, I'll give it a month or two and see what comes out of it and decide from there if I want to continue on with it or not. I'm cautiously optimistic! Link to comment
Selfdeprivated Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I've been on link removed, Okcupid, POF, tried eHarmony but it's like Fudgie said. I have to say I wasn't satisfied with any of them. After being on all of them (save eHarmony I was rejected) for over a year and nothing to show. That said it probably says more about me as a person than the effectiveness of the dating site. I recently closed all of my accounts along with my facebook for good measure (myspace is pretty much dead and buried by now so I didn't bother there) and hope I will quietly slip into a coma from which I never awaken. Good night and good luck. Link to comment

I don't mind spending a bit of cash to get on a site, I just would rather stick to one than join 10 dating sites. Suggestions/Comments/Insults all welcome! Any site that allows guys to send unlimited messages is going to be a waste of time for guys. I've used a spin-off of Match called Chemistry. They draw from the same pool of people as Match but you'll only be "introduced" to up to five matches per day and likewise for the women and you won't get any additional matches until you've reviewed and decided on the ones you have. It' so much easier that browsing the potentials and composing messages and then having nothing at all happen because thirty-two million other guys have already sent that chick a message today (and she wasn't real anyway, just bait). The people you'll meet tend to be more motivated and interested in a relationship. I've had two LTRs via this site including my current GF of three months. Link to comment
