Are dating sites any good?

Just wondering if it is worth trying out online dating? I did use it about 10 years ago and I met a few people online. My relationship recently ended and I have heard through friends online dating now days is all about hooking up. If you are looking for a relationship (like me) it is better to look elsewhere.

I was thinking about trying the Plenty of fish site. Should I or should I just forget and join a singles meetup group or something?

Hey Samantha,

Do not think my response will be of any value to you Smile… but felt to reply anyway so your question will not be so lonely here until will be better response Smile. Besides, on more or less generic level I do have opinion on this Smile but I cannot really answer from personal experience, as I am actually looking for “friends with benefits”… Ok, that is not the same as “hook up”… Actually, lately I find that most people do not even get anymore what is the difference Smile
Anyway, personally I think this online dating got so much “commercialized” and “scammed”, that it became very difficult no matter what type of dating you are after… I have been “on” and “off” online for around 15 years, got back into dating about a year ago and personally find that even sites I have used back then now are much worse. Still there are real people, but now you never know who is real, and mostly are fakes Smile

From non-personal experience Smile (yes, I do have single girls, just friends too Smile) and they say generally the similar applicable even if you are looking for a serious relationship, but also it depends where are you from. (I got friends in a few different countries).
In short, they still use it, but also other means as well…

POF – have no clue. Have heard only 2 of them mentioned it, and both had totally opposite opinion Smile but they also used it about couple of years ago. Things could have changed Smile

Anyway good luck, and may be someone (the other someone Smile ) will give better and more relevant response to your question Smile
