I agree that online dating myths are all wrong. It is perfect for someone like me who is so discriminating when it comes to personality. If the other person’s profile is honest like yours should be, then you can weed out unwanted things that you often can’t tell in person. I am a Pastoral Marriage Counselor and I want someone who is serious about their religion and isn’t promiscuous, has illegitimate kids(shows lack of morality) or is divorced,(showing that they probably never went to premarital or marriage counseling) or is looks conscious or materialistic or hedonistic. People can hide a lot of that in person while if they are honest online, you will eliminate them much easier if they don’t like your picture, or put lots of sexual things in their profile to try and snag you, or put shallow things down like traveling or shopping and usually sports. So it is much easier to weed those people out online if they are honest than in person because how can you tell if they are shallow in person by their shopping or traveling or sports unless you go with them? No, I think honest online dating is the best way to go if you want someone of quality.

I agree with you Fkoi! Further, the hardest part of the online dating experience is even getting to the part of “meeting.” FOR ME, AT LEAST!

I have found it much more difficult to determine chemistry online than it is in the “real” world of dating. You can filter and select and correspond all you want, but I can’t determine the essential “it” until I am face-to-face.

diy- people do that in real life, too.
they lie about their jobs, they lie about their abilities, they lie about who they are. it’s not exclusive to fake profiles. i’ve met men in real life who claim to be the boss when they’re really the janitor. am i put off because you’re the janitor? no. am i pissed that you lied? yes.a liar is a liar is a liar, no matter if they lie to your face or to your computer screen.
online dating is no better or worse or safer or more dangerous than real time dating. approach with the same amount of diligence and caution that you would in real life.

My thing is this. people who chose to post their profile on line should really take the time to plan ahead on what they are going to post online about themselves. My concern is always this how real are people really being about themselves when they write out their profiles? I mean people today are so pretentious in person and even more so online. so for those who chose on line dating because of low slef esteem or shy or what ever other reason they can paitn a fantasy of themselves as to how they would like others to see them instead of them being themselves. no way any one can ever meet the right one when you are not being YOU! This should be safe and fun too be able to chose who you want to flirt with and who you rather not. But again for those reading this if you have anything on your =profile that is not you reconsinder and redo it. and if you meet the right one or the one that you may want to give a chance too then out of politeness and respect hide or put your profile away upon you deciding to make it about her. deception and betrayal in person or online is hurtful part of the reason we chose to go online is to avoid all the games and the hard work that goes into meeting new people and having smart conversations with them.

Just a few thoughts. :c)

You may also meet the person of your dreams online and they live two doors down from you, but live their life on a different schedule. Internet dating opens up more possibilities. And isn’t that what we all are looking for; a possibility?

I met the most fabulous man on blackcentury.com and we have been together for more than a year now. we were two people of different cultures and countries. Yet, because of this great website we were brought together after finding love. Maybe you will love it.
