You've all seen the commercials...sign up for EHarmony and you'll find your perfect match! 30 days free, you'll find someone guaranteed!

So what does the AG community think about...online dating websites?

Personally I think the person who started these things is a genius. I mean, think about how many people in the world can't get a date in real life. And now, there's some magic way to find people! Yipee!! So you get people to go there, give them 30 days for free, and then match them up with people that they might like. Well they'll get to talking, but since it's online it would be hard to get very commited and really get to know each other. So they go from person to person, until their 30 days are up. Now they have to choose to pay, or quit trying. A lot of them will just give up, it's not working out for them. Or maybe they actually found someone and are doing fine. But then there are the people that don't want to give up on themselves, but haven't found anyone. So they start paying. And just like that you're making a ton of money everyday.

As to how they work, I'd say that they probably work ok for people. I don't have any experience with it, but it just seems like you could possibly make some friends on there. A boyfriend or girlfriend? Maybe. Friends? Probably.

So what do you guys think? Would you ever consider using one if you couldn't seem to find anyone in everyday life? Or do you think it's too weird and you'll just hold out?

well, I personally DID do a free trial for fun. But seeing as you had to be over 18 had to make a fake email....not worth it.

It was funny some of the results you could get though.

I got people that were completely diffrent from me. Like i said i ws not out going, and igot matched with some one a total opposite of me. And they fit none of the physical charecteristics I stated.

So really......they don't work. O, and it said one of my matchs was 67......I SAID I WAS 24! LIKE WTF!

Haha that's pretty great guys. If I get bored I'll have to see if you guys are right about the weird matches.

I never tried it because I am only 14 but I think they are cool. If a nerdy guy with no life cant get a date then he can now find a nerdy girl with no life to date.

I think it is a way for desperate guy/gals to find love, but why can't you go out there and find it yourself? Why do you have to use a computer to help you?

why do you need an online dating when you can have dates outside internet.


Because, sometimes, people are desperate.
But ask yourself this: Why don't they need online dating.

Replying to the topic:

The best reason I found. You could easily say that you are 27 years old, thin, pretty and intelligent, when you are 42, fat, ugly and dumb.

So, in my opinion, online dating sites are worthless.

Online dating sites are useless. But some peoples needs desperately a companion, so they try every thing that they can think.

To be honest, the internet is a great downfall to human relations. Yes, people are more connected, but to others they can not see. People lose touch with those who are actually there and around them.

Digital communication can get out to a lot more people.

Though as NoName said, it doesn't get as personal. Distannnnnnnnnnce~

I dunno, I'd probably never use one (except maybe to see the screwed up matches you guys say you're getting).

I agree with NoName said.although, we can connected with other peolple,we cannot see them and this can be useless.

I signed up for it just for the laughs of the potential results, based on what was previously mentioned in this thread...

But I got no matches. :<

If that's what they're trying to find, then they shouldn't have trouble seeing someone like that in rl? All they really need to do is go out a few times and find someone..

It's not that much harder to set up a date in rl than on the webs.

Aww dang, I just spent like the last 20 minutes setting up my account and I didn't get any matches.

But wow, that takes forever.
