    clearly the implication is that if you were a straight male it would not be easy sex.

    Reckon you're a homo.

    Errr, he is, that's the point.

    He could've been female.

    Went on a few dates, it was good fun. A lot less hassle than regular dates, I found, since you can sort out the weirdos before you actually meet face to face.
    I proceeded to marry the last man I met on an online dating page :D

    What does being either one have to do with it?

    Well let's face it, casual sex is easier to come by for gay men.

    There has to be some trade off for the lack of equality!

    No denying that but a lot of straight lads are no victims either ;)

    Nope.
    He's a bit slow that way, he still hasn't noticed.

    No, not at all. And if straight men could they'd be at it just as much.

    Unfortunately for them they decided a couple of thousand years ago to create a system which artificially prized a woman's "purity" thereby creating a social stigma against women who might be seen to enjoy sex too much, and might actually engage in the casual sex which they crave!

    Sure that's it. It doesn't matter which hole we fuck, gay/bi/straight, we're all built the same and have the same goal in mind.

    And I do agree with the last part, if women were as easy as men, then straight guys would be getting it just as easily as we could.

    I've met up with loads of girls I got talking to online. Only one of them was through a dating site though, and that was fairly recent. It's a great chance to get a measure of someone's personality before you have to commit to anything.

    Nothing worse than being stuck somewhere with someone with which you have nothing to talk about.

    Also I totally heart nerdy, socially awkward girls and you tend to find them more easily online.

    Total absolute BS. Women would just flock to the top 20% of guys like they do now EVEN MORE. That's why the monogamy system was created in the first place: to quell female pickiness and hypergamy.

    That doesn't make any sense, how could things change even more? You could say that because of higher demand for those men, women would seek other guys that may not be as high on their list.

    Anyway that point is stupid, there would be far more people to choose from and you'd have greater options so I don't get why it would be any worse.

    I've been using it on and off for over a year now. I've only met 2 people from it. It can be very time consuming sending out so many messages. I think you have to be patient with it. I had a look at that Adult Friend Finder site. It's riddled with spam and malware - at least according to my antivirus anyway. I'll stay clear of that one.

    I've done it a bit long time ago, met some people and when we eventually met it was really obvious that we were only interested in one thing and that wasn't more dates or a relationship. Other times I've met some really cool people and became pretty good friends and still are!

    Great fun if you know how to charm the wimmin with your words.

    Tried OD in college. Didn't work for me so was basically a rubbish experience to be honest. Tried it for a short while after but didn't stay long on it as I started to find it boring to be honest with you. The first 'hello' can break more barriers than you think in real life compared to OD it be put aside unless you make the effort.

    There is a lot to be said for just going out and meeting people where ever you are. You meet people through circles which is probably better than be set up by a friend, blind date or through OD unless you happen to date in general and occasional other things. All about keeping busy is what I think if you have time someone you make time for them if not then its a different thing all together.

    Nah it's fine, you met me sure ;) :pac:

    I've run into some headers. One that was into some seriously kinky stuff (with pics even, in hopes of tempting me!) a few couples in their late 30s and let's not forget the lad that wanted to buy my sweaty gym socks :eek:

    You can meet many normal people and thankfully they made up the majority for me, and they've actually turned out to be very cool and laid back guys.

    Online dating sites are full of gold diggers!!!!

    I got a number of a girl from an online dating website last week. She was very to the point so to speak!

    She invite me to her city center apartment on Saturday night. She asked me for money soon after meeting her there and when I declined herself and her male flat mate, who was wearing a pink suit and feather hat, kicked me out.


    My first and last experience of Online dating

    I tried it and it worked for me. Been with the OH for a year now. Our paths would never have crossed if it weren't for POF. Our interests are just so different. I would really recommend it.
