I am just curious what some of your guys' opinions are on online dating. It's a huge thing nowadays and has united countless people together with each other. My brother met his girlfriend off of a dating site, a few friends I know have, and so did my mom and her boyfriend; and I am currently signed up on a dating site trying to find that 'special someone' (as cliche as it sounds)

Anyways, I was just curious if anybody else has had any experience with it or has good or bad opinions about it.

Tinder is a great source for something quick, usually.

Finding someone special is always harder.

I tried OKC for a bit. Tinder over here is a bit meh with weird girls/guys posing as girls.

First date, chick grabbed my balls. Normally, I'm okay with that sort of behaviour, but that was something I expected from Tinder.

Edit;
Lee, I guess by 'online' you don't mean through a dating site? It could be an MMO, I guess.

Tinder is basically 75% smash and pass, the rest of it is a mix of all sorts of illegal stuff with a 1% chance of finding someone you actually want to be with.

As for online dating in general, I've done it twice. Both were basically a waste of time and I personally will never do it again. Some people are embarrassed to admit to online dating due to the fact it's shamed upon (or used to be afaik). A more acceptable form of "online" dating would be meeting them IRL prior to dating and then have a long-distance relationship if it requires with the meet ups whenever someone has free time. From my friends experience she was sexually assaulted through a meet up with a person she met online so there are pros and cons to online dating I guess.

If you actually go ahead with online dating and end up with a date for a meet up, best to take a plus 1 and always plan for the worst possible situation just in-case. You can never be too safe these days.

I have plenty of friends found their one true love online. My brother also met his fiance online haha - not really on an online dating site, but on mmorpg . :)
If you are talking to a legit girl indeed, then no one knows what will happen except you bro :)
Online dating may succeed or fail depends on how you define reality.

It's becoming less of a weird thing to embrace nowadays, thankfully. I tried several online dating sites and I met a few people from them. Some have remained good friends, some are a thing of the past. But it worked and I met some lovely people!

Now online Dating is very popular and relevant. I broke up with my girlfriend half a year ago after 5 years of relationship. I was really in a bad state, I was overtaken by depression, a mental disorder, I started drinking and even went to the hospital with a complication...My friends were very worried and decided to solve this problem for me, since I didn't do anything. They just found a girl who wanted to enjoy spending the night with me. It was a super night, after which I "rebooted" and realized that my ex was not worthy of me to worry so much. I've already forgotten about her, and I don't care about that relationship anymore. Now I have met a great girl also on online Dating, who supports me always and everywhere, and I am happy with her.

So you have any luck or...?

Tinder and Bumble are kind of impossible to find people on, they want you to pay to get matches I bet. On POF the matches say "hey" and sometimes they talk and then the profile disappears and gets deleted.
