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.
Why is there a stigma associated to online dating?
there is a stigma with online dating because there are millions of people around you daily and if you cannot communicate openly and honestly in person then that says something about your social skills. For some people, it's ok because well they like it like that, for me, i'd rather work to improve my in person interpersonal skills than find a way to circumvent it ie online dating. That's just my opinion. I mean some people end up meeting someone who lives 5 miles away from them online, chances are you have run across this person several times but for some reason did not approach them
