In the meat market some women don't want to be approached any other way. SO a dating cite should only be one of many methods used to meet your future spouse. Not using one in this day and age would be like only looking for a job in news print.

Dating websites : yay or nay?

I'm married to a girl I met through an online dating website.
Though I had to weed through a LOT of girls, but eventually found her.
Honestly, easily the kindest most compassionate person I have ever known.
People can say whatever they want but online dating is what allowed me to find her. My life has changed drastically for the better since she's into my life.

Anybody here meet their wife via Craigslist?
I've been told that marriage is a one night stand that hasn't ended yet.

I've come across one sexual assault victim before. That wasn't fun. Neither is the "used up" variety (because they're the quickest to write you off).
The "fun" ones were the ones with the "I was engaged and left before I got married", to me anyhow. They were just so ready seeming to start over that it was refreshing to see someone saw potential.
My sister keeps suggesting I join again. I think I'll get more dates if I let her manage it. Lol
At the beginning of 2008 I had been married almost 14 years, I was a bit of a workaholic, etc... I suffered a major stroke and my wife didn't come to the hospital, talk about your extreme wake up calls.
We separated two weeks after I got out of the hospital. I was pretty unhappy with life at that point. Thankfully, my friends and family were very supportive. (My boss supplied a company apartment and had it outfitted all the way down to sheets and silverware.)
For a while I was a tad bitter. When a love song or a song that had any positive message regarding human interaction came on the radio, I'd change the station.
Eventually I decided to test the waters and enter the dating pool. I was back to work and decided that I would try online dating. I had low expectations and actually had a blast.
I tried a few different sites to see what would work for me and had the most "luck" with "Plenty of fish". I posted a photo of me behind a drum set, I was upfront and honest. I also edited my profile daily, making it fun and funny. I started dating again... a lot.
Eventually I met and began dating three different women regularly. I was honest and told them that I was dating others, no games. I wasn't sure what I was looking for at the beginning. Companionship? A few laughs? But the heart knows. I went on a business trip and really, really missed one of the three. Upon my return I quit seeing the other two. My sweetheart and I have been together six years now. Life is very good.
So...
It can work.

I decided to take myself on a date. Saw planet of the apes (forever alone) and then bought myself $50 worth of CDs.
My neighbor behind me is Russian, been living in the USA for about 15 years. Great guy and every once in a while he keeps bringing up how I should consider getting a Russian woman into my life. "They're loyal and they'll love you eternal for getting them out of that hell-hole country"....goes on and on. I know he means well but man, I just do NOT want to try and start all over again. Been married once and my marriage contained more drama than an episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County!!"
Fat girl at work was hitting on me and I caught her looking at my ass while I was picking up some stuff. TBH, I'd bang anything right now but not a coworker.
