However, it is just a little sad and a bit obsessive if you've been using many sites for years without any type of break. It is time to take a break now! Trust me, you will thank me one day.

Online Dating Is More Popular Than Ever Before
Oh, you should give it a try. Even if you don't find a decent date, you will surely get a few good laughs. Thanks for checking out my hub! I must admit that I have been tempted to try them, but haven't got the nerve up just yet!
Maybe It Is Time to Log Off . . .
Thanks so much for the vote up. Yeah, it is scary sometimes.
I've dealt with some real weirdos lately, yet I continue. I think it is just too much fun to write about. There were no on-line dating sites when I was dating. Who am I kidding? Home PC'S weren't a reality back then.

Scary as hell, IMO. This is another jeannie-original-funny-as-hell Yes, when they say "plenty" of fish, they definitely need to stress the plenty but not necessarily the quality. Two of my co-workers did meet their husbands on that site though, so there must be quality guys on there somewhere. I have met some really nice guys though I am just not clicking with them.
There is usually a few major flaws POF was the website I used too! I think because it's free you get lots of non-desirables. I went to a comedy night and a comedian asked a couple where they had met and they said POF! It's definitely used by a lot of people! Alecia Murphy - I will never understand why people work so hard having a good online image, yet they have crappy personalities in reality. Nonetheless, it happens all the time. I am happy you enjoyed my hub and thanks for the comment! Peanutritious - Hey, a 4 month relationship is better than anything I'm coming up with.
Although, I have been dating someone on and off for almost 4 months that I met online. It is just going nowhere, so I've added a couple of extra guys to my dating life. I figured 3 semi-decent men adds up to one OK guy. I am happy I could give you a laugh. Janine Huldie - You and a bunch of other people I know have had great success on dating websites.
I seem to be getting a lot of responses, but not a lot of quality. For now, it is just a source of entertainment.
I got the idea for this hub when I went to see a band play recently, looked around the whole room full of 20 - 40 somethings, and thought, "I recognize some of these guys from POF. It was an eye opening experience. Thanks for the vote and thanks for sharing my hub! Jeannie, coming from someone who met her husband on Match. I truly glad I wasn't that obsessed and using those sites back then too much, but used it for what is was worth and did end up being a success story.
Thank you though for putting a humorous spin on this way of trying to find a mate. Have voted, shared and tweeted as always!! I dabbled with a dating site briefly and had a one off date then one which develped into an admittedly odd 4 month relationship. It's put me off for life! I was sick of shirtless guys, ones that supposedly go to the gym every day yeah right , one's that couldn't spell, liked football and frankly were a bit thick! The guy I saw for 4 months was very intelligent which made him stand out a mile. Sadly, he was secretive, had OCD and never ever got his wallet out ever!
I know some people find the love of their lives online but it wasn't quite like that for me! Thanks for the laugh! I've never used online dating but like anything else online I imagine it can get addictive. It seems to me so many people are so busy presenting their online selves they fail to present the real person. Unless you have a record or something like that- there's no reason to hide behind an idealized self. Thanks for the morning laughs Jeannie!

You Start Resenting Shirtless Guys Let's face it, if you are a woman using an online dating site, you have seen lots and lots of shirtless guys.
You know you have been visiting too many online dating profiles if you have this conversation with a friend: What is wrong with them?
There's a wrong way to online date. I learned that the hard way.
This is pretty normal. Imagine starting a future with a new person only to have it shrouded in lies and fabrications about how the two of you met. As ridiculous as that sounds, many people do just that because they are still bothered by the stigma of online dating. I know a happily married couple who met online. The two are a perfect match and their love for each other is transparent.
But in order to meet the man of her dreams, the Spanish teacher in question dedicated her entire summer off to dating and meeting potential suitors. There are many people on those sites who have no other option to meet people due to the many antisocial aspects of their personality. Rejection and disappointment are unavoidable when it comes to dating. The fast-paced and impersonal nature of online dating amplifies this inevitability tenfold.
Many people are simply there for casual sex despite their profile claiming otherwise. Using old pictures and magnifying their wealth or social importance is common. This reality can lead to massive disappointment for many and hurt feelings. Studies have shown that online dating lowers self-esteem. This is most likely due to the continuous rejection and disappointment associated with it. I hate to break it to all these hopeful souls, but the phenomenon of online dating practically invented these social games. The key to being successful at online dating is playing the game and not appearing too needy or making yourself appear popular in demand.
