Dating sites are as good as the effort expended. It's a lot of work and you have to go through dozens of people to find someone that is compatible on the surface and who will be available to communicate with you. I find most women to be very hesitant to open up and really communicate and be available on a consistent basis. Everyone pays lip service to wanting to meet someone, but when the time comes, they are usually not available for one reason or another. I have found two very nice ladies through this site, but I had to go through six months and hundreds of women to find them. Good luck to everyone.

They do work. Sometimes it takes time. There are a lot of men to search thru for these women.

Takes patience, patience and more patience. The main thing for where I've lived is the distance thing. Most just have to stay in their "neighborhood". I have met and made friends with men from three sites. We are friends because "it" just wasn't there like we'd hoped. Soooo, life goes on and maybe one day. If not, I'm ok and have made some great friends along the way. Don't knock it til you've tried it, huh.

Any thing is possible so why not? Have heard of great success stories - and some real disasters. I've tried two other sites also - but still no success for me  . I think I might be a tad picky but plan on getting it right this time around. At this stage of my life I have no intentions of just "settling". I have met a few very nice people here.

online dating would certainly work but as ever youve got to know what it is your seeking long before the T'internet we saw adds for pel pals i had several and then tape pals where we exchanged small 15 minute tapes by post as a merchant seaman i had several tape pals some disabled and house bound the enjoyed things like the approaches to the panama canal or sailing the st lawrence seaway with the noise of small iceberegs clanging through the ships proppellers ~ all good fun much later i had been on my own several years and wanted to meet people other than work colleagues and so started to go to a weekly solo club at the local tara hotel , i wasnt looking for a partner but now 21 years later Patricia and myself married 20 years last april ~ so yes it all works as long as you set your stall out first

I believe there are as many factors involved as there are people on these sites. Large factors being, some people are just more discriminating than others, past relationships, distance between interested parties, financial concerns, able to relocate or not, baggage of one or both, flexibility of each and on and on. In other word, it will work for some, but not others, then somethings are meant to be, somethings are not. As I am more discriminating, would never enter a marriage without a strong shared attraction and commitment to each other, I don't hold a likely chance to be successful, but have made wonderful friends here, so what will be, will be. I am content with God's will. Give away freely whatever, you desire from others.

I would think its rare that online dating works. Good on the couples here , as i know we have a lot of happy endings, but i dont expect it to work for most, and wont work for me. I envy the people who are geographically , close enough to meet. But there are no members anywhere near my home home. I would have to travel at least 7 hours on the road to go to a get together, and its not possible. Commitments and money just dont allow it.  [[ . Hugs across the Ocean. Jan.

Don't think they work. So many men and women put their foot in their mouth in chat and learn to regret it. Know that the good luck stories are few and far between. Don't have the energy for all the BS you have to wade thru.

Well, as everyone knows, I met Joe here in SFF, so I guess I can say that it worked for me..... except that is not what I signed up to do. I joined two or three others, just for grins and giggles and something to do besides play computer games. When I found SFF, I loved going into the chat rooms and spent a lot of time there.... just enjoying the company. The rest is just gravy... lol, very wonderful gravy!

I have had some great dates, and some not so great  , I have met some really nice men, but they were not for me...I dated a guy from sff for seven months, but I could not stand his filthy birds, four of them flying free around the house.... My closest girlfriend meet her significant other in Savannah, he is a wonderful guy, they are very happy, my friend in Portugal also found her love and my little friend in England celebrated her second anniversary last month...Do I believe this site works, absolutely, it takes energy (allot of it!!)...do I think I will find my significant other?? only time will tell...
