Question: Are men on internet dating websites really looking for a relationship?

(Posted by: Diogenes on 2007-12-18 13:50:37)

....or are the majority of them just in it for the excitement and sport of "beeyatch shopping " and actually have no intention of forming any kind of relationship?

Like anywhere, there will be some men on dating websites after a bit of fun and some who are genuinely looking for something more. You get to suss out which is which pretty quickly! I've met both types through internet dating. The weirdest aspect I found about internet dating is the fact that you go on a date with someone who is, like you, probably in contact with a few other people at the same time. It's like everyone keeps looking around for something better all the time!

I was looking to date. Dating leads to relationships. Most of the women on there were there for an ego boost and didn't respond to sincere men so I stopped using them.

The overwhelming majority of them are the 2% of the male population that have even the slightest understanding of love...decency...sensitivity....and soap operas. You can rest assured that the gravitational pull of these sites is sufficient to attract all the artistic body models your heart can imagine. Just one thing......your orgasm...is all that matters......

I think it depends on the person. You just have to be really careful (like you would meeting any new guy). I know my husband used internet dating before me and his last relationship lasted two years. Oddly enough, I met my husband on the internet - just not an internet dating site. It was a fluke thing. Internet dating seems good for shy people...

Interesting that the first 3 answers are from men anxious to confirm their sincerity on these sites. You would have to look at each one individually and read their write ups, not sure about the photos myself, how long ago was the picture taken would be one of my first questions? Then if they have bothered to go to all the trouble and expense of registering, maybe you have a chance of meeting someone decent.

Well you can never be sure if they are there for fun or to find a serious relationship...hey can you trust someone on the Internet? yeah alot of times u do but you should becarful,only way to find out if someone is serious is to meet them,but not just sleep with them straight away cos that would be easy and they could just disappear....me and my bf chatted on the internet for a while then i just lost contact with him cos he was in the army,also i stopped using chat sites(not been on dating ones) anway 3years later he text me and that was a suprise,he kept the number...he said he didn't want to meet wen i was 16,he was 19 cos my parents were bit strict so wot happen he text me and we chatted and he wanted to meet up....so its been 5years since we known each other...well 2years we been together,i can tell you,YES he was looking for a relationship,so it can happen....now we been engaged for a year and i think the reason he met me also later wen i was older cos he was away cos of the army but his out now and told me he wanted to settle down...its great iv already met his family and they love me....like a normal relationship...thats my story but becarful cos few guys will lie. i really never been into dating sites but it happen,i wasnt looking to meet any1,just wanted to chat to ppl cos i was bored lol

No, they are looking excitement and a laugh. It's just a game to 90% of them

Good question, finally after many months of being messed around by men claiming to be 'wanting a relationship' i have met a genuine guy and its looking good. i have almost given up several times and vowed to be tougher and not so gullible but my natural instinct is to see the good in people so that was hard, i am so glad i gave it one more go or i wouldnt have met this guy. my advice would be ; be wary. see the good in people but dont be taken in, the internet is sooo anonymous and will always attract those that have something to hide. steer clear of those that want long conversations and avoid meeting, or even when you have met, are reluctant to divulge even the most basic details. but besides that, good luck :-)

I look at it if a man is willing to pay on a dating site he is serious about it
