I'm only 19 but thinking of giving online dating ago. What do people think of this idea? Is it a bit desperate for someone so young? (I really mean no offence by this to anyone)
What are the best sites if I did give it ago? Is it only full of strange men?

Yes, OLD is only for horny, old, skanky, desperate people who can't meet anyone in real life.
:P
Okay, seriously- there actually are some good reasons why OLD is used more by, shall we say, "older" people- at least, generally, people who're older than 19! :)
First of all, usually folks your age are either still in school or just out of high school. This means you're spending time in (or just did) an environment where you were surrounded by a LOT of people of the opposite sex.
Also, in that 18-to-22 or 24ish range, usually folks don't have a ton of other things going in their lives, like jobs, kids, hobbies, and so forth. They have and spend a lot more time socializing in/around groups of friends and the opposite sex.
All these things add up to the idea that they don't usually need some of the convenience that OLD offers.
Should you try it? That's entirely up to you. If you're in a situation where you're not meeting tons of people for dating, sure, why not? Just remember that the odds are that you're not going to find lots of people that age doing OLD, because they're meeting/dating people in other avenues in life.
