Why is there a stigma associated to online dating?

I did it and met my fiancee, who’s the greatest. But I tell some people to try it when they complain about being single, and they look at me like I’m crazy… a “Do you think I’m that desperate?” look.

I dated in the “real” world for 6 years, and I had mixed success at best. There were ups and downs online too, but generally, the people I met off there wanted to be in a relationship, whereas some of people I met before just wanted to get free dinners or hook up short term.

So why is going online a sign of desperation? It seems to me it’s just another form of matchmaking, which has been around for thousands of years.

I define impress as this:
If you expressed interest in them, they don’t reject you.
If they search for you and find your profile, they initiate contact
I am thinking more along the lines of … what do women expect of a guy they find online? Like, I know women get a ton more responses than men on their profile so you haveta stand out from the crowd, how?

X asked:


I broke up with my ex-bf and we live in a small town. All the guys here are either barflys or are way too young. I want to go onto an online dating site but one of my ex-bf’s friends saw me on Match.com and made fun of me. I was so embarrassed I deleted my acount. I can’t afford Harmony.com. Is there another website that you can recommend?

I have been receiving mail from dating services, they have my email address, and I don’t know how they are getting it. I have not visited any dating sites, the only thing has been filling out surveys, and job searches.

Jen asked:


Has anyone here had experience with Match.com? Or any other dating site that gives you the option of looking for same-sex dates?

I’m a pretty old-fashioned girl who is just about petrified of the online-dating scene. I’m starting to sloowwwly look into it as an option for down the road. I’d like some feedback from people who have actually used such sites.

What site did you use? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? Did you meet some nice people? Would you recommend that site to someone else?

I’m looking for sites that aren’t highly sexualized… you know, the ones where everyone’s profile is focused on sex, and the pics are of people barely dressed? Yeah I don’t want those types of sites. Like I said, I’m old-fashioned. :) Sex is good. Sex is great. Sex is just not my thing on the first date.

Thanks ahead of time for your answers.
