Current girl met through Match. Started saving for an engagement ring. It's all good (in my hood).
I met a couple of nice girls through OkCupid.
One of them was... kinda crazy, though. On our 2nd date, she kept saying "I don't date attractive guys" and "I don't believe in this online dating stuff" yet she kept bugging me about going out for a 3rd date. WTF mindgames?
I dropped her pretty quickly though.
Another we sort of hit it off, we made out on her couch but she stopped me going further (apparently I should've pushed through but hey) and on the next date she explained that she isn't ready for a relationship, blah blah blah, and that she doesn't know when she'd be ready for anything but that she really likes me. So I decided to go "Okay, so if she really does like me, she'll fucking contact me to hang out." No dice. So no more contact!
The good thing about these sites is that you should be able to meet up with people regardless of who you are and what you look like. Hell I'm nowhere near being what anybody would consider attractive and I went on a bunch of dates with a bunch of girls. It'll give you a good headstart with dating and stuff, if you're the.. inexperienced kind. Now I'm dating someone I met online, we're heading into our 5th month together and it's going very well, so it does work.

Same here! I love my girlfriend so much. She's awesome and GAF would love her. She:
-watches and loves the same shows I do (The Shield, Breaking Bad, Archer)
-buys me awesome gifts for Christmas and birthday (Batman hoodie, concert tickets to a band I've always wanted to see, etc.)
-asks me to play video games for her so she can watch me while rubbing my back
-plays 3DS with me all the time now (I just got a nice, sweet swapnote from her a few minutes ago)
-cooks delicious meals for me every day
-gave me a key to her new car which she lets me drive anywhere
-enjoys my strongly opinionated rants that have to deal with nerdy topics (I go on tirades about various facets of the gaming industry all the time around her)
-she even created a NeoGAF account because of me!
Anyway, we're perfect for each other, and it is all thanks to OKCupid (and GAFs girl-age thread which encouraged me to join OKC in the first place)

Lol good for you man, I didnt have very much luck with it, I don't think my profile was very good though, I'm bad at filling out stuff like that.
Maybe I should consult Girl-GAF, but theres a few ladies I'm interested in elsewhere.

I think these websites do a good job at sorting out people, and it's up to you to make it work. 90% of the girls I've met are close to perfect for me, but some are indeed a bit crazy/damaged. Cute awesome girls usually have a buffet of real guys that are after them, so it takes some event or events to push them over into trying online dating (unless they just moved into town and want to meet people).
Everyone I know that has tried has had some degree of success with it.

No offense, just stating my opinion as facts as offensively as possible. :3
I'm just not into that scene so much.

I heard christian girls in the US are likely to do anal because they are "saving themselves for marriage"? So the "no sex before marriage" isn't really a problem.
Get on it, son.

Are you actually a Christian, or did you make an account just to see the hot girls in your area? If it's the latter, then that's fucked up!
I don't mind being with a Christian or whatever religion you are, but if it becomes a problem, like with social issues and family who are ultra religious, then it's time to BAIL OUT.

Bu-bu-bu-but that's where the poo comes from!
Also, seeing how some of these girls are already single mothers... well let's just say they have had vaginal intercourse at least one time in their lives.
But in all seriousness, I really don't see myself hooking up with a girl who is very religious. It would be too much of a hassle for me socially and psychologically.
I'm basically a disciple of Satan. What do you expect?
Yeah... If I ever date someone who is religious they better be borderline deistic and have a very liberal interpretation of scripture.
Edit: I just deactivated my christian mingle account so you won't have to worry about me stalking Christian girls on the interwebs.

Like anything else, online dating is a crap shoot. The women in my area are either overweight, have three kids, are mentally unstable, or are socially inept. So you're scrapping the bottom of the barrel if you have to use a dating site here.

Us attractive guys get dates by leaving the house. It's not hard. And we don't have to settle for fat chicks or ugoos. Which is what seem to be on okcupid in my area of California.

Maybe you should try focusing on hooking up for casual sex instead of dating first?
A relationship is probably not going to work if you've got no experience. Basically, you might be saving your first actual LTR if you have sex a few times before. And christian or atheist doesn't really matter for casual sex, does it?
If she's hot and DTF, I'd have no problem having sex with a christian girl.
For a LTR? lol
Won't take anything less than an agnostic.
I love this thread. haha - I dunno' why this makes me laugh. Not because I take issue with it or anything, but just the reasoning behind it. It's not the first time I've seen it come up.
In my experience the Christian girls would do more because it boils down to, "I'll be the proper Christian out in public, but when I get in the bedroom I'm going to be a freak."

I agree with this. I wouldn't date a religious chick. Sex though is just fine.
And FYI Just find a religious single mother. Singles moms are dtf and aren't usually looking for relationships. I'm serious about that too. If I go to a bar, meet a chick, and they say something along the lines of "my kid is with their dad this weekend and I just wanted to get out and relax." That's like her saying she just needs to be piped.

Online or offline, I'm FUCKED.
The prospect of finding and meeting women off the internet is absolutely terrifying. Terrifying.
edit: Searching my city.....
edit2: Fuckkkkkkkkkk
edit3: Things just got meta. Aw shit son.
edit4: Pretty sure I'm going to get intoxicated at some point this week and make a profile on here some time during the late night/early morning. It's the only way.

I just signed up for OkCupid and already got a date, too. Mine was kind of meh and awkward though. Can't wait till I turn 21...

All the dating sites are what you make of them. There are all kinds of girls and guys on those sites. Not exclusivley one type of person.

Well I have a long ways to go before I am able to have casual sex.
Still need to get myself physically fit and I need to get the hell out of my parents house.
:O
That goes for any girl who is very religious or came from an ultra strict household. They can be quite aggressive behind closed doors.

Move to California. If you can't get laid here there is something wrong...but I do live in a party/college town. So yeah it is probably easier to meet women around her.
It's not that there isn't attractive people here, it's that they're all taken.
Or have a kid.
Also yeah, location is important, location, location, location.
Agreed. As I'm a guy that grew up in a very religious household. So I see the appeal. hehe

Don't worry the one ethnic group I like won't give me the time of day around here.
And if you don't want a relationship older single mothers are where it is at.
Ha! While that's certainly NOT why I'm moving there in a few months, I checked out some single women on a couple of dating sites and holy shit. I could never have imagined that the gene pool in the south was so terrible until recently.

I've been seeing a girl from OKC for a few weeks now. She's surprisingly stable, very cute, has an incredibly dirty mind and is far more intelligent than me. Found her after only two days on the site. So far so good.

Online daters aren't inviting girls to their rape dens on first contact, they go out of the house too.
Anyway, sounds like the well is dry where you are as far as online goes. OKC has plenty of quality where I am.

Make a match.com profile and look at the girls in the bay area.
And Plywood, I would if I could.
He posted a picture? What the hell?

Save me the suspense! I figure I have to answer tons of questions again in making a profile
"no I don't like cutting during sex..."

Don't say that, man.
EVERYONE who is well groomed is fit for casual sex. You may choose to not pursue it because your chances of success aren't that big, but being physically not fit or living with your parents isn't going to make you unfit for casual sex.
A buddy of mine weighs over 220 pounds and lives at home, yet he gets pussy. Not very often, but he does.
Which frustrates me to no end btw.
dude. Go down to your local StarBucks right now and find the corkboard where people post ads, business cards, etc. Do your own little ad, make it something inconspicuous (like a picture of your parent's couch with letters DTF [one on each cushion] and then a disposable email on little tear offs below that). As long as your honest, that's what matters.
Whatever means people need to find friendship is a-okay with me.
I've heard good things from a lot of people about this kind of way to meet. The internet is just another form of communication anyways.
For instance, I was starting to grow a friendship with someone right before I moved - now a lot of our relationship comes from skyping and messaging. It's interesting.

Nah, bro. I meant the south as in the US (TN, MS, AL, other shitty states...). SoCal is where I'm headed.

It's a catch 22. SoCal women are some of the most vain, egotistical, high maintenance women I've ever met in my life. Oh, and shallow.
