People say online dating is bad...is it?...there's bad and good in everything...you hear about women getting taken and raped and used and abused...well that goes on with a man you know and has dated for years...we have hubbard houses all over the countries...men kill...abuse...even rape their wives..so...i ask you ...is online dating bad?...well i say...the important thing is getting to know the person...finding out if their being truthful as to who they are and where they come from...i mean you have to go with you're instinct...when you're mind tells you something aint right...guess what ...something aint right...and hey...don't fall in love in a month and just let all you're guard down...you should meet the person(in a public place of course)...look eye to eye and get a feel of person...always let somebody know where you're going and the person name...if you be careful and look out for self first...you can't go wrong...so...people ...i say...online dating can be a good way of meeting and enjoying people...their are perverts now...so what i say is...dating online is a good thing...just be very very very careful...Diamond Jewel

Online Dating is extremely stupid. I have never had any experience with it, but why would anyone want to. You meet someone that you know absolutely nothing about. The only thing you know is that they know how to use a keyboard. I would imagine online dating is full of lies. For example I could tell you I am a rich African American With a Porsche, and a house on the beach in California. I am and have absolutely none of this, but how do you know. I have also heard of scams from online dating. There was this person who got all into the whole online dating scene, and ended up sending a couple thousand dollars to this person to help them out and get them a flight to meet. The person never showed up, and they never talked again. The person who wired the money was out because they were scammed. Online dating is just bad news. Try the local dating scene. You have to be pretty sad to turn to the Internet to find a mate.

I don't think online dating is bad. I think we HEAR about bad incidents-- much like we hear about car accidents, but we don't hear about the six million people who arrived safely at work, without incident-- but we don't stop to think about how many people find good connections through Internet dating. There are no more creeps on the Internet than there are at any local "pickup bar."
I think the key is-- as you suggest-- to just use common sense and not do something stupid. Take a little time to get to know about a person by email, before you just rush out and meet. Get a feel for them by email, then meet them in a public place for a short time. I have met LOTS of people in person whom I first met online, and virtually all those meetings have had positive outcomes... of course, they weren't necessarily for dating, but many friendships, as well.

I think that online dating is fine as long as u are cautious and don't expect to much. It will take time to know the person just the same as if you met in any other venue IE: grocery store,church,work,or though friends etc.
