Agreed - I met one of my ex's on Match.com, but I would have met her anyways because her friend worked where I worked and set us up. She is the only girl I've received a reply from on any dating site. I used to have profiles up on most of the popular ones but never heard a word. I did check out adultfriendfinder.com, and that's even more of a scam...most of the ads that reply try to get you to pay for a webcam or porn site. I did make one hookup work though. IMO these sites aren't worth it. Especially if you're paying for it. I knew about fake ads to make it seem like it's worth it, but I am not surprised to find that match.com is using its employees to correspond with customers. Haven't heard anything about eHarmony.com though. For some reason, they seem legit (they better be at those prices.)

I met most of my dates and GF's through friends. I met the girl I'm seeing now at a sports bar (she's a Colts fan and so is my friend....gotta love dating sports fans.) It's really not that hard to meet girls as long as you make it known to your friends and coworkers that you're available...and if you just get up enough nut sack to introduce yourself and go for it. I think it's also better because you meet face to face. We've all heard stories about some online face to face meeting that turned into a disaster. "I'm kinda PO'ed because she hasn't sent me a full body shot."
