<p>Has anybody ever used Match.com? Is it just for dating or for finding friends also? Has anybody had any experience meeting people using the service?</p>
<p>ha, so you tell me I can’t bring my xbox or desktop to school…because its not a vaction…but your lonely @$$ has to find friends over the internet? pathetic hahaha</p>
<p>^ sounds like an inferiority complex</p>
<p>I don’t have any personal experience with Match but I do know a few people who have used it. and I cant think of one that was happy. One told me it was really expensive unless you purchased longer term memberships (like 3 or 6 months at at time I believe) I also heard that the male/female ratio is about 10:1. Take this with a grain of salt as always.</p>
<p>If you’re a female: are you over 30 and getting desperate? If you’re a guy: are you over 30 and looking to get laid fast?</p>
<p>My mother used it or some similar service, she met her current boyfriend through it and he’s a pretty cool guy, they seem happy.</p>
<p>If they offer a free trial you might as well try it.</p>
<p>No way, meet someone through real life.</p>
<p>I hear CC is a part-time dating community. </p>
<p>Hello ladies :)</p>
<p>^ certainly seems like it at times.</p>
<p>Dude, you’re in college. Just go to one of the bars.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who said I was lonely? I like my friends, but I want to find some who share some of my same interests. I was just curious if you could find friends on that site or if it was strictly a dating website.</p>
<p>I know some people who used it, and found some interesting people on there for hookups.</p>
<p>But just something to think about, if you can’t get a girl in real life, you probably aren’t going to be getting girls off Match.com either. The guys who get the girls in real life will typically be able to get the girls off match.com.</p>
<p>Match.com does not really cater to the younger crowd, i.e., less than 25 y.o. However, for those in the 40 to 60 range, the m/f ratio is close to even, but the women are of higher quality than the men. It is good for hookups in that age range.</p>
<p>Ohemgee.
I’m always shocked to hear people actually use dating sites.
It also makes me think of Chris Hansen’s tea and cookies.</p>
<p>I agree PL. :D</p>
<p>I met my bf through a [free] dating site (NOT match.com). We were a couple of the few teens on the dating site. We have been together for almost four months, and I’m glad I used it.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t get the stigma against online dating. I find it easier to talk to people online than off. It isn’t as though my relationship is “less than” just because I decided to go online to get a great date.</p>
<p>ppl ACTUALLY go on these sites!! ddammnn!</p>
<p>I don’t know if I would ever use a site like that, but I honestly don’t know how to get a boyfriend. This has been discussed in other threads (by different people and I’ve read), but I really just feel like I go through my day and there just aren’t those type of opportunities around me. And even if I went into the city more, it’s not like I would just bump into someone on the street.</p>
<p>PlattsburghL- you mean “sweet tea”- the beverage of predators</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think this has been the experience of so many people on this thread. Just “bumping into” your soulmate is so incredibly unlikely.</p>
