Hi All

My mates are always banging on about internet date sites, saying its not just for weirdo's, do you think this is true, and if so can you recommend any?

I think it is probably the other way round if it is a relationship site..... 2 million unhappy women and about 30 men,,,, all of whom live with their mothers and are called malcolm

because its deceitful and seedy.

cazz...right.

Squad they read my profile and think this guy a cross between Brad Pitt and Albert Einstein but when they get there they find me :-)

I'll get me coat.

I wouldnt recommend it as a site for finding a boyfriend/girlfriend, more a quick shufty in a pub car park.

Davw.........whooooooh!..........put your coat back. Have you read THEIR profile with a photograph taken 20 yrs ago.........LOL.
No, see it out.

A friend of mine recently married a girl he met on Match :)

I entirely agree with what Lofty Lottie said yesterday. I met my partner on an internet dating website and three years later, we are still really happy.
There are timewasters and nutters, as in all parts of society. You can filter those out though. Start with "conversations" online - you can tell a lot about a person by the way in which they string a sentence together....
Nothing ventured, nothing gained !

i agree with woody. i've been dating a lovely guy for 2 months that i met on the dating site-plentyoffish. i'd been on there a few months and he's just the second guy i've met up with. the first guy was lovely too (but there was no spark).
there are a lot of seedy / odd guys on the website (and i'm not sure what the ladies are like) but you get to spot these very quickly after a while.
i know quite a few 'normal' friends and friends who use internet dating sites so i would say give it a go. you can always delete your profile if you decide it's not for you.

I agree with woody. And I can personally recommend Direct Dating...

[Jenarry]

oops . meant to say friends and acquaintances.

Following on from Jenarry's comment. I "corresponded" with many ladies and met about a dozen. All lovely people, sadly though many had tales to tell of domestic abuse, physical and mental. You just don't know what goes on behind closed curtains... :(

If you a looking for a serious relationship stay away from the free sites, that includes any where the women can join for free. The fact that both have to pay to join a real dating site demonstrates that both are serious. Yes you still get "players" but use your judgement and be carefull...
