Yes i think it is because i cant see why you couldnt meet osmeone in real life. Unless youre particularly strange ins ome way…
whatever turns one on…
Not so much weird…But I can definately say I have had bad expiriences with it.
I tried it out recently with mixed results, mainly bad.
I decided to try it, because I’m an introvert. I don’t have a problem with confidence or socializing, but my personality prefers isolation, which is not very good when I’m looking for a mate.
I am going to go ask the number of this hot asian lady who cut my hair last week soon… heh. (I love older women–they know what they want and young girls on average seem particularly stupid)
I’m on 2 internet dating sites, but haven’t met up with any guys yet - I keep getting guys who want to meet up for sex there and then, and I tell them ‘Thanks for the offer, but I’ll have to decline’ 
I enjoy checking out who’s visited my profile/sent me a wink: more than the thought of meeting-up with any of them!
Yes.
Ditto.
Sad, hopeless rejects incapable of normal social interaction with the opposite sex, the lot of you.
I know someone who met his wife through internet dating. Worked for him…
I know, I’m such a sad loser! 
You’ll find someone magsj.
I only jest, Smears
I have men bowing at my feet, and begging me for sex (on a daily basis), but that doesn’t scream boyfriend material now, does it? 
Sex is boring.
Enough of you, you, you. Let me hear what you have to say on any one these thread topics. Stop using a smart site as a place to gain attention and flirt. Say something smart in these threads Come on, I know you got it in ya. Prove it to me.
I just had a flashback from kindergarden when this kid pulled this girls hair then ran away on the playground.
Thanks for the, er, attention, Nano-B 
but I do not need to prove anything to anyone - are you gonna mark my grades when I’m done?
I saw the threads already, and have commented on similar topics on ILP in the past - my views are quite strong anyway, and I prefer to keep most of those to myself!
Btw, I thought there was something of the philosophical in my response, in that: we can be surrounded by admirers, but it doesn’t lead to companionship but increasing isolation!
…again, thank you for your concern in my me-ness Vs my philosophical offerings!
I’m not trying to give you hard time, Magsj, I’m just completely puzzled as to why you are here if you dont even post your strong positions. This is a “smart site” for “smart people”, so where do you fit in? There are plenty of other talk sites where gossip and rumors and all that other stuff you like is available. Are you looking for philosophical dude to date? Is that it?
I think it’s a bit weird if you set out to find a relationship online, like I think it’s weird to set out in to the world to find a mate. You run about chatting everyone you meet in the hopes that you hit it off and make babies…
However, I have no problem with internet relationships that started as a result of intelligent conversation instead of forced attempts to hook up. Internet dating has an advantage over “real” dating in that you have nothing but personality to work off, instead of basing it off your desire for sex. When your entire relationship is based on conversations, not sex, you’ve got a good relationship.
I choose not to post my strong views: as it is my choice to do so, so no need for the puzzlement…
Thanks for the heads-up on ILP, but I came here because it was a site for the intelligent! What you call gossip and rumours are fact and actual experience: which shows the nature of humanity…
Gossip and rumours!
My dating preferences are personal, but thank you for your interest! I joined the two dating sites I am on because of friends who persuaded me to do so, but I really don’t need help to find a date, but help to find a quality date would be nice…
Those guys who accost me obviously don’t think so.
Sex in a relationship is great :-" but I don’t seek sex for the sake of having it, otherwsis!
