But I'm a little old fashioned, i like to meet people in person and connect that way. Not so easy to do though.
There's also a lot of married skeezeballs on those dating sites looking for flings and the like.

Part of the reason I also like meeting people online is because I can read their profile and know things about them before we meet. You meet someone in person and you don't know anything about them. People can lie both online and in person. If I meet them online and I see that they are separated, have kids, and smoke then I can just filter them out and not have anything to do with them.
I mean unless you work with the person or like some people I know, frequent bars every weekend, yeah meeting someone you click with in person actually would take a lot longer than online.

In my experience with match, most people don't respond or even read your messages. I figure it's because there are too many options. Not trying to boast, but I am well above average in appearance and I have a very nicely written profile and hardly anyone is responding to me and many of them won't even read my message.

I agree, I can see the appeal of online dating for a lot of people.
I just personally don't care for it....I know someone who got burned badly by an online creep...it was one of those free dating sites and she hung out and started developing feelings for this guy, turns out he was married and sleeping with tons of other women. She was heartbroken...and of course, his profile didn't state any of this.
I wonder if the difference is the paid vs. non-paid sites. I forget which one she used..it was years ago.

I used to use free dating sites and I've sworn off of them. It definitely makes a difference in the quality of people and what their intentions are. 90% of messages said something like "you wanna bone?" or "hey sexy bitch"
That's terrible that that happened to your friend. It's not an uncommon scenario though. I suppose she still could've met him in person though initially he still could've hid it from her. Anytime you meet anyone and start dating them, you're taking a chance that there will be a disaster in one way or another.

Absolutely, risky either way! lol.
I remember she was super upset for a while about that, but then ended up meeting someone nice on the same site...it didn't last (the relationship) but he was a nice guy and I gave her props for even trying again! LOL
