You'll have better luck with the swingers sites

KC_Sporty, I've tried Yahoo's service in the past, and eh, it was ok, never found anybody interesting though. But, if you ever get to Texas, I'll take you out and show you a good time! ;)

My brother met his wife using an online service. He could have done better. IMO

[Irondrake77]

You might get a few sincere replies from this website. Careful! Ornery crowd here that got this thing for Sportsters, and cool people such as yourself. :D

Never used them, but one of my cousins said he had a great time with one of those group activity singles clubs. There are different ones around... you know, the ones that have group rollerblading, volleyball, etc meetings. Another good friend (she was a hotty and a smarty) met her husband from a similar club. She has since had a daughter with him and is currently going for her PhD.

Have you tried XLForum.net yet?

Had a friend of ours get told by e harmony that there wasn't a match on the planet for her

I've used a few site. They're all a crap shoot. Match and eHarmony are your best bets. If nothing else, you'll have an interesting time.

Yep....I have, all those and quite a few more. They're all about the same. Some are free, some cost and arm and leg.

Odds of meeting someone decent are about the same as any of the *normal* way of meeting someone decent. The Biggest difference is you have a bigger pond to fish from and subsequently a hell of a lot more Bottom Feeders to throw back.

If you go that route, Maintain a major sense of humor, dont take the a$$hats seriously, Dont be in a Hurry, use common sense and Be REAL/realISTIC in your profile.
Also...focusing on sites that cater to things YOU enjoy will increase your compatiblity. ie Biker, Snowboarding, Hiking, scrapbooking or whatever your poison.

LIVE YOUR LIFE.

Go out with friends.

Get active with stuff you love (like bikes or some sort of sport).

Then you meet people.

You generally meet people when you're not looking, when you're happy and satisfied with the life you have.

Otherwise the type of people you meet are just people who are not happy with themselves or where they are and are looking to glom onto someone else in the same boat hoping the combination works out.

I met my wife on AOL.. not using a dating site, but a chat room (I also met a lot of other women on AOL before meeting my wife)

My best Man at my wedding met his wife on AOL. (yes in a chat room)

I've another friend that met his wife on Match.com...

It can be done.

However, if you're not one to open up socially in real life, it'll be difficult to do so online..


The best advice for any online interactions, is be yourself. Online interactions allow people to get to know you first, if you're "faking" you're only cheating yourself..

Good luck in your search @!

I've been pretending to be a Nigerian prince this whole time. However, I have collected a lot of bank account numbers.:laugh

If you are of the witty variety, The Onion news satire site has a dating section. Haven't used it but the profiles can be really funny.

[KC_Sporty_Gal]

You mean you're NOT a REAL PRINCE? I guess this big rock you sent me is a fake then! :p

Damn... it must have been swiped by some postal worker along the way! The one I got you was the biggest found in the mines of Zirconia!

I met my wife using www.Americansingles.org. We have been married 9 years now!!

[serbousekmi]

really doesn't apply to me now, i'm dating someone, actually she's by daughters mom, anyway, i think online dating is a waste of money, not only do you spend money on the site, but than you waste time and money finding that "right" person for you. why not just go out with buddies of yours and talk to people at the bars or wherever you might hang out.

Some of of have lame buddies who don't have enough cash to hang out. Some of us (me) need better quality friends...:doh

I was married for 25 years until my wife died in '03. I thought I needed someone in my life so I tried a dating service in '04 for 3 years and went on a few dates but nothing came of it. A real waste of money and I found out I didn't need anybody. I found the new love of my life working at the business right next door. We started as business aquaintenances, went to casual friends then real good friends. We're getting married next month. Don't look so hard. They might be right next door. It happened to me.

Hey Erica

Just live your life doing the things you like with people that you like. Keep your eyes open but don't get caught up looking for Mr. right. sometimes you can't see the forrest for the trees syndrome kicks in. Go out with your friends boys and girls or make new friends who enjoy the same things you do. don't get caught up lookin for someone you may just miss out on a guy like me whose just around the corner cause you were busy trying to impress that dirtbag from eharmony that lied on his application so he could get with a hot redhead who loves to ride motorcyles A sportster no less and has the money to buy her husband 1 too. can I get a pic of that bike before we meet
