My thoughts about online dating
Here I want to put stuff about my experiences with online dating. I've
checked out quite a few of the dating sites but I've found most of them
are not worth paying for. Generally the first thing I do is try a basic
search. I search for women seeking men, that are 5 foot 8 or over, 35
to 55 years of age and living within 25 miles of me. On many sites this
search will yield no women at all. On Match Maker it yields usually 50
to 100. The way I see it, spending time and probably money on a site
where almost no one will see it is a waste. Some sites require you to
fill out a questionnaire before they let you search and I will do this
if I have the time and the site looks likely enough. Other than Match
Maker and Match.com I have only received 1 email from all the other
sites that was from someone that lived within a hours drive and was
anything close to my type. Though I do get many of those emails from
women on Match Maker and Match.com as well. On the positive side I met
my ex wife and made many friends from Match Maker when I was on years
ago. This time around there seems to be a lot more sites but the people
don't interact as much. Maybe it's because those of us doing the online
dating 8 years ago were more of a like mind. Now that it's gone more
main stream the crowd is more diverse. That said I have still met a lot
of nice women in the last few years. I even got serious about a few but
I still have not found that woman I can settle down with yet.
