| Just curious. |
 |
| I think it's ridiculously shallow, and not a good way to meet "The one." |
 |
| Don't do it you will regret it |
 |
| To me, it just seems like it's a boring way to meet someone. |

| I'm too much of a romantic, online dating doesn't sound very appealing to me. |
 |
| What about those of us who don't have another way? |
|
| Don't. |
| I did it once, got laid, had fun with the girl.... I don't see it as a good way to meet "the one" though. Edit: I still think you can find the one I just don't see it as very likely. .... maybe just not likely for me |

| I think its kind of awkward. Idk, but it feels more natural to get to know someone due to a certain situation then to come together for that specific purpose in my mind. |

| It depends on what you mean. I don't agree with "quick hookup" apps and websites, or at least they aren't for me lol. I don't think meeting someone online is really for me, but I've had a few friends who have successful relationships thanks to it. |
| I personally met my first, current, and hopefully last love through online dating. So I'm pretty fond of it ^^ ♥ |
| It can be useful for someone shy, like me to chat a bit with a girl, but I don't expect nothing more than a bit of talking on some days I feel like cutting myself, nothing more. |
 |
| Much like anything else the results will vary depending on the people involved, what said people are looking for, and the circumstances. |
| Don't do it myself, if people do it don't give a single shit. |
 |
| I don't view it as any less of a valid form of dating, although I think that there are certain things that irl dating can achieve that online dating can't |

| As long as the people have perfect chemistry then I see nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, I think the whole thing is fake and disingenuous and sometimes insulting. It works both genders too. Usually I'm all about actual face to face contact when it comes to building intimacy, and while online intimacy can be built, usually it's better just to stay friends with people you meet online, at least IMO. Why do I find online dating fake? I feel like people tend to lie a lot about who they actually are and sometimes will go so far to use fake pictures of people they're not. It's also that girls themselves, if they are good-looking, will be subject to 100 of inappropriate messages almost every time! These guys probably have little to no courage to say such things in real life, but they do feel protected behind a computer screen to say whatever they want, no matter how off-putting it may seem. I also think guys have it relatively hard too. They might be the most awesome people, but it will take a complete and total bitch to make him upset and just give up on dating in general, especially when he does not deserve any type of heartbreak he'll get. I'd rather him be told it in real life rather than some phony sugarcoated message. It's to me just another example of how thirsty guys are and how shallow girls are, and it shows completely in the online world. It does not have to be this case in the real world at all. Nope, only online. With all said above, I recommend online dating to either a thirsty male who lusts for girls he cannot get in the real world, or a shallow female who enjoys being two-faced and breaking every guy's heart. |

| I don't see anything wrong with online dating. Not something I've ever taken part in, but I know a lot of people do it and it's quite normal nowadays. |
| Nop. |

| Not worth it. Sure you hear some wonderful stories that it works resulting in marriage and such but those are the glorified 1%. You aren't seeing the other person. You're filling in the gaps with your unrealistic imagination of the person being perfect. It's so easy to fabricate anything online and lead people. But if you just so happen to meet someone amazing, give it a try and see for yourself. It could possibly be the best thing ever or the worse thing ever. Experience is the best teacher. |
| I'm not so much for online dating, though I certainly don't mind it. I am more interested in meeting people online. If it wasn't for the internet I most likely never would've got to know or met up with people from other countries. A guy I consider a good friend of mine who's half Russian and half German, is someone I met online and later met in real life. We had a lot of fun drinking and hanging out. Which would've probably never been possible without the internet. I think it's a good platform to get to know people and learn about other cultures, though I don't think I would use it to date. |
 |
| As long as the 2 people live close enough to see each other...it can work. Anything is possible if you are committed... |

So you've talked to someone behind a screen and you know what they look like in a photo, but you've never met with them face-to-face(which some people don't realize is much more important than communication with the help of technology) and had a proper conversation with them. Ever heard of Skype? |
|
| I've tried it. I wouldn't have had my first relationship without it. So it wasn't all bad. However, now I want different ways to meet people. |

| Whatever works for you, I don't really care. Would I try it myself? I don't know. Maybe, if I met somebody who I wanted to do so with. Not my preferred method of dating, though. |
