I’m not one for the online dating thing.
I’d prefer to meet someone in ‘real life’. Most of the situations you described don’t make sense to me.
If I was approached in a library, train or whatever, I’d be pretty damn flattered to be approached by a guy, and I would be happy to speak provided I wasn’t in a rush.
I think the fact that it’s so easy to lie, and you don’t really know who you’re meeting puts me off online dating. I know a stranger who approaches you could easily lie, but you can at least see what they look like for sure. (I know looks aren’t everything, but they help xD).
I think it’s a bit different for me, because I live in a small area, where everyone knows each other in my village, and you know the majority of your age group in the neighbouring town/villages, so if you meet someone on a night out chances are you’ll see them around or they’ll add you on msn or facebook, or you’ll have mutual friends or something!

Its 2009 – and do ppl still slander/mock 'online dating' and is there still a stigma associated with it ?
I guess I don’t need to add much more here other than what I already mentioned inthe question.
Its just that people who are anti-online dating/meeting ppl are quick to mouth off and say stuff like "i prefer meeting real people in the real world"
yeah sure, thats fine – but surely in the ‘real world’ not everybody wants to go to a nightclub or a speed dating event or some other cheesy venue to ‘meet their special mate’ ?
No public place these days is suitable for romance ventures – i mean if u sat down next to a pretty girl on a train and tried to chat her up, chances are she’ll get up and move seats. Preferably WELL away from you.
Also, if you tried it on with a girl in a library – she’d roast you alive and be calling you ‘Random’ and ‘desperate’ or something else more sinister.
What about Home Improvement stores you ask ? Mate – the only women who go there are MARRIEd women or women in relationships.
No single girls go to Wickes or w/e to buy tins of paint or wall mountable hooks for themselves, its for their ‘loving home and family’ lol.
Which means you have perhaps the local Gymnasium to get lucky.
Yeah but remember – girls there want to work out and get fit, not go home with you and give you a work out whilst being told ‘theyre fit’.
lets face it – in the real world, approaching or saying something to a girl in the hope that it leads onto ‘sex’ is pretty much sexual harassment heh
If u go to nightclubs you better know how to dance and charm the ladies – and i mean it. If you can’t dance to save your life, and all hate alcohol and can’t stand most music – that rules out nightclubs and its unfair to suggest everybody who is single ough tto try nightclusb.
So maybe online dating is actualy a healthier alternative to ‘meeting in the real world’ ?
its just a pre-phase of the actual phase we call ‘meeting in the real world’.
you first aquaint yourselves to one another and then you , well , ‘meet’.
so why the stigma associated with online dating ?
or are you still not convinced and are you somebody who would put down somebody cos they met their partner online ?
Its 2009 – and do ppl still slander/mock ‘online dating’ and is there still a stigma associated with it ?
