What are the best dating sites online?

* web address deleted * is a pretty good place to go if your looking for someone to tie you up and make you a submiissive or if you want to do the reverse.

:guffaw:

Jesus Christ, Jayson...

"Uh, hi--Wanda? My name's Frank..."

"Don't you tell me your name!"

"Ow! Ow!"

"Your name is WORM, worm! Now put this ball gag on!"

Well, at least Wanda and Frank are quite honest about who holds the whip in that relationship. :D
 
I don't uderstand why the website name was deleted? It does have nudity but I didn't make a link to the site. I simply listed the name. Also the collarme place isn't that different from other love connection sites in that it's a place for people to hook up and maybe find a conection with someone. That the place were I meet the tranny cheerleader I was intrested in and I might end up meeting a girl on the webiste soon. Just like other sites we will have to talk first and get to know each other better before meeting or anything.

Sorry; you did post the link, I distinctly remember clicking on it. Not that I think it inappropriate, but I don't make the rules around these parts.

I did? You know I get confused about links sometimes. When I typed it the name didn't seem like it changed colors like you see during links. Will a link form everytime you list a website by it's complete name?

As far as I know, the board software will try to automatically change links into urls; it doesn't know what type of site it is, after all. So if you type the name of the site (without www. or .com), nothing will happen. If you copy/paste it from your browser's URL bar, it will be converted.
 
What's the success rate for sitting on a bar stool and looking for a long term relationship?
That's just it. You don't go looking for a long term relationship (that's bound to end in failure), you go looking for pleasant company. And once every 10 pleasant people, you encounter someone you build a deeper contact with. And once every 10 deeper contacts, you find someone you are really having a jolly good time with.

In my experience, people usually find a partner when they really need it, no matter where they look. Unless they walk around with the wrong expectations.

There are a few big plus points for real-life dating in contrast to online dating:

- Fake/doctored pictures, or part of a picture
- Non-honest descriptions, or the conveniently forgetting of information that's paramount in forming an image of someone
- No body language; easy to get misconceptions and/or an argument
- No real chemistry; even if it works out online, you still have to see if it works out in real life

There are more; but still, online dating isn't as good as people thought it would be. Usually, the people who use online dating sites regularly are either anti-social, unattractive, have other problems that prevent them from dating IRL, still have some trauma from real-life dating or all of the above. Of course, not nearly everybody is like that, but the cliché really has some truth in it.

However, that doesn't mean that you can't get a date online. Places about a certain topic (like a BBS about your hobbies) or even your myspace/facebook profile can be more productive then a dating site; people aren't expressly dating, and you get much less "fakers" that way. It helps that, instead of focusing on the dating aspect, people tend to contact each other about a common interest. That way, the groundwork has already been laid. I found my current partner on MySpace. She sent me a message, I sent her a message, we chatted a bit and within a date or two we had sex and a relationship. And it's still going strong after four years. So it's certainly possible.

Not sure how other people are going at this, but I just used it to initiate contact, not have long term 'online only' situations. Read profiles, chat a couple times, and if it seemed alright, ask her out for a real life date. No need for a lengthy online setup, just used it as a better place to meet people than a bar or whatnot...

Chemistry online is a kinda silly thing to figure out. You've seen a few pictures, and if you chat over AIM a couple times and it's not off-putting, I just took it to real life and went on a real date. Prolonging the online bit isn't needed
 
Seems like online dating works just fine for plenty of people, not sure what study to show you. Doesn't always lead to marriage, but neither does any other form of meeting people that leads to a date.

That's the thing, right? Online dating isn't really online dating, it's just online meeting people. If you meet anyone, you're still going to be dating them in real life. Well, if you want to, I guess :p

Yup...you have to be willing to take it to the next level and actually meet the person.

Online dating is real life dating. As been stated earlier the initial contact might be made online but you have to actually meet and see if anything translates from the computer/phone to in person. To the contrary there is proof that say in a bar you'll subconciously pick out just about the worst person for you. I see you met your woman via myspace...don't you realize that that is just a dating site too? Yes it covers other interests and shit but it's like (or it was) an online meet (meat) market.
