The point being, online dating dramatically raises your chances of being someone's dinner rather than going to dinner with them. There are 25 to ...[text shortened]... llers in the US and a host of football player rapists. Have fun with that online dating scene.
Just as easy to meet one of these in a pub. A little commonsense goes a long way.
A blind date perchance to say,
love might come my way one day.
Sitting there in a bar.
Came by taxi, not my car.
In she strode, looking like heaven,
she was 6' 2" I was 5' 7"
My pink carnation began to wilt,
to kiss me she had to tilt.
She ordered steak I had a mixed grill,
hello Sally my name is Phil.
After dinner the wine did flow.
Then like Cinderella she had to go.
It was soon clear she was not for me,
for in came her husband he was 6' 3".
Hey pal who do you think you are?
As he threw me behind the bar.
Smashed mirrors, broken chairs,
I was the last straw in her affairs.
Her husband left she stood there crying.
I was in pain I thought I was dying.
She fell to the floor, sobbed into her lap.
I said no more of this dating crap.
I wiped the blood away from my brow,
and vowed to stay single starting now.

It's not desperation... it's more the times we live in.
Get with it, Bob.
There's far more than 'Romance' taking place at some of these sites. Friends of friends have mentioned stalkings of discovered residential addresses; harassment on line due to inadequate administration; and litigations. Why risk your privacy?

Friends of friends, eh? *huge eye roll*
Being under the age of 60, I can say that online dating is very common amongst a generation who are confident communicating and organizing dates via online services. Granted, there is more than romance going on in that some/a lot of people are in it for one nighters and what have you but it hardly has anything to do with desperation as "Grampy" would have you believe. In this busy world we live in of single parents, young professionals, etc. sometimes it's the easiest way to meet and screen people. Some people don't like mixing dating and work. Some people don't like being set up by friends. Some people don't like picking up at bars and clubs, etc.
Also, stalking is not limited to people who use online dating services. That's just silly to believe such a thing.

I'm outside your window.
I'm watching you.

Very hard to sharpen knives and look through binoculars at the same time.

You're deliberately bucking the tiger, zb. Let me try to put this as delicately as possible: You haven't been in the swim long enough to know what's essential to women or critical to a lady [or to grasp the dimensions and depth of morbid deceitfulness within the beings of some males posing as men]. If I may make an observation, believe you'd serve your own interests far better by taking honestly chosen comments at face value
Note: A single female musician with rights to access a co-performer's legacy was denied those contractual terms by a court order instigated by an exceedingly jealous pseudo friend who perpetrated her devious plan on a popular dating site to obtain needed contacts through referrals.

I'm 52 and I still don't know what women want.
There has not yet been a book written that could
be used as a manual or a guide to the mind of a woman.
I have just finished looking at a TV news item that reported
a woman has been arrested for killing her boyfriend.
She stabbed him 18 times with a big kitchen knife.
