Mostly just looking… Met one woman, very lovely, and had a busy life. Weve chatted several times since, but thats about it.

Wonderful!!! I am an extrovert by nature, and as I became disabled, I found it was REALLY hard to meet someone from my bed. hehehe… So, online I went, and after a lot of fun, seven years ago this Oct, I met my life partner through the internet. We’ve been together ever since – I’m 61 now (we met when I was 54) and I never expected this icing on the cake of my life.

I’ve tried it a few times, but I’m a little too reserved for the process. I once saw a photo of someone who I know in non-cyber-space life, and I panicked about the thought of her seeing my photo, and I deleted my account immediately. I am a little dramatic.

Horrifying… which is to say, much better than anything else I’ve tried.

It worked for us. Match.com. We got married August 2011 at Race Point in Provincetown and now renewing at Niagara Falls this month, then will renew again next year in Ogunquit. Been in bliss for seven years. Thanks Match!

I met scary women who were closeted, hairy, insipid, religious, self-hating, too young, too old, and dumber than mud (in no particular order). And then I met my wife. Online dating was worth all the slog for the deep connection I found with the amazing woman I married four years after a virtual greeting turned into the best ride of my life!

Met my partner of almost 14 years online. So I’d say it worked out pretty well, but not before having a bad experience w/one woman I met. Went off line for about 7 months then met Amy. She had found me first, then went back online to contact me and I was gone. She waited patiently for 7 months (I didn’t even know about her)and when I went back online I found HER, and the rest is history.

I’ve been on and off online dating sites for years, and it’s been hilarious. So many awful first dates without second dates! Lesbians lie in so many inventive ways! One first date comes to mind, she withheld the fact that she needs a cane to walk securely, which would not have been a deal breaker for me; the deal breaker was that she got out of her car to meet me for the first time without the cane and immediately and spectacularly fell down. (I know you’re not supposed to laugh at cripples, but this was the justice exception.) The cool thing is I’ve currently had 5 dates with the same woman I met on OkCupid, and I expect some more with her. The gods toy with us, what can I say?

I tried online dating two years ago and met a great girl. We were together for two years and it ended ugly. I swore I would never do it again. But, after a two year hiatus, and trying to date again and having very little success I decided to go back online. I am sorely disappointed. I describe exactly what I am looking for and what I am attracted to and my inbox is daily bombarded with anything but. I am beginning to seriously doubt the abilities of these women to read or understand what it is they read. Feeling frustrated and a bit disgusted.

Thanks for the opportunity to rant. Been pretty awful, but I spose it is a true reflection of who is single at any given time-or at least a thin slice of that single pie and not very promising locally. Meeting unsuitable strangers (none have ever heard of Kate Clinton). I need a nationally based yenta I spose.
