... of Online Dating (OLD)...


Lately there has been so many negatives, strangers' profiles being critiqued, potential people being laughed at, I would like to just talk about the positives of OLD...


Here's some that I've thought of, but I'd love for each of you to share stories or ideas...



  • With OLD, we get to meet people we would never run into in the street.

  • We get to pick what we want rather than having to wait to find out if the person has the qualities later on...

  • There have been some success stories, to point out a few... look at Jodie, FirstAdmendment and EatAtMons and Eric!

  • You get to discover a lot about yourself, what you're insecure about, what you want, what you won't deal with...

  • You get to grow a thick skin...

So do share... what are the POSTIIVES??? I don't want people to negate this thread, let's keep it positive. Thanks!

You are right. There are so many positive things about OLD. My experience with OLD has been great. I don't have one bad thing to say about it. I only met one guy from on line in real life and it has turned out great. Maybe that is why I don't have anything bad to say about him. If it was not for OLD I would have never met him, and I am very grateful that I have. He mean the world to me, I would be lost without him.

Biggest for me is i dont have a lot of time & this is a good way to "weed out" people who normally i wouldnt be interested in ... & i dont have to spend time out "looking" .... plus, w/o alchohol on board - as in when one may be out partying ... you have better judgement! lol
