I think looks are more important in online dating than real life.

Agree with this.

Its nice that I'm not the only one who has met their significant other online. All these years I thought I was weird

I fail to see how this rules out you being weird.

Agreed. The pics of yourself you put up are very important.

A lady at my work tried online dating and it wasn't working for her and we are pretty good friends so she asked me to check out her page to see what i thought. The photo's she had up there were hopeless and really didn't make her seem as attractive as she really was. No wonder she wasn't getting any hits / requests etc.

I told her to take some better pics and within days she was getting WAY more dudes contacting her and she met her current boyfriend of 1.5 years within a month.

You have to be careful of the people using 'false advertising' on online dating sites posting crazy angles etc to try and hide there true looks like this:

I actually never put any picture of myself on these websites. If someone contacted me, we would start talking on MSN and then I may send a pic. It is very important, but it's the same whenever you meet someone in real life. Unless you know her before the date, anyway the first thing you look at is the way she looks. It's not like someone goes to a bar and doesn't focus first on the looks.

9 months strong with my GF, she actually moved in with me over 2 weeks ago (maybe a little soon, but it made sense and it's worked out great).

We met on eHarmony...I don't mind telling people we met online, and nowadays a lot of people are trying it so it's way less of a taboo than the past where all you had was the creepy chat rooms and all that.

I just see online dating as a way to introduce me to people I'd otherwise never meet...once you get past that you meet and see attraction to each other in person, how you talk/get along, personality, etc. Once you meet it stops being online and becomes regular dating like everything else.

I hate meeting people at bars, and otherwise it's kinda tough to meet people through friends and activities once you get past college. More and more people are in relationships and the singles pool goes down. Maybe my social networks weren't as good as some people, but online really helped me out.

My GF can deal with my gaming at times, my stupid humor, etc...I can't complain! I don't have to be a different person around her, and I know a lot of people who do that around a significant other (if that makes sense). I don't censor myself at all lol

Glad to hear this is working out for you. I seem to recall you talking about trying eHarmony or something similar. 9 months is long these days. Hopefully, it continues to work out great for the both of you.

Lil Bentley's story(aka Buckeyes_Doc)is still hilarious reading it again.

Ahhh I miss these good old DC Threads on here.

I really don't have a problem with telling people about it. I've met chicks on facebook/myspace, clubs, work, standing on the bus stop, partylines, etc. one of the girls imtalking to right now I met on facebook. We happened to go to the same college a few years back although we never saw each other there. She tells her people that's where we met, but I just tell my people that we met on facebook. Doesn't bother me.

To add though, it would be kinda weird if you ONLY met people online...that could mean you need to get out more. I couldn't see myself using a serious dating site to meet someone either like eharmony or match.com. I prefer facebook/myspace (back when it was cracking) just because you get a better idea of the person by their updates, etc.

That was a really cool story, and it's funny when you think about it, all it takes is one small, at the time seemingly insignificant moment to change your life forever. Crazyness.

There's more to the story but that's the short version -- I never felt the need to get online and hit up dating sites because finding girls was never a big problem for me, but the way all that unfolded was pretty cool.

TRANSLATION: I was desperate for some bunz. I was hitting up any and every site to get laid. When all else failed I lucked up on some tang through a friend. LOL
Just kidding. Cool story man.

If there wasn't internet, I'd probably be single(/virgin) for the rest of my life. I just never was the person to meet girls any other way.

Wow, saying this feels like getting out of the closet...

There's a reason there are so many sites for dating...there are many people like you.
