Is internet dating a waste of time compared to other ways to meet dates?
It seems like the alternatives to internet dating, like just meeting people the normal ways – not over the internet – are better,; i.e. more fun, more successful.
It seems like the internet encourages people to be less than honest about themsleves.

Seems so to me too. There’s not enough love and trust going around anyway, and on the internet especially not.
It’s a complete waste of time, energy and emotions.

I tried it for six months once than again for three months – a date a week for all that time. It was a big waste of time. There is something very weird about meeting a complete stranger without having more in common that the internet.
One reoccurring problem was that women had told several small lies during e-mail exchanges; for example a woman who was recieving several thousands of dollars in child support per month told me that she was a successful graphic esigner. She was a graphic designer all right, but unemployed. Unfortunately these small lies kept popping up to make the person look dishonest. It was weird.

I agree with you.
It seems like a waste of life just sitting on the computer trying to arrange endless first dates. Why not get out of the house and do fun things with your life.
