    What does everyone think of online dating?

    [Disclaimer, I am the lead software engineer of http://www.get2know.me]

    So for the past year I have been developing software for an online dating startup. I myself don't use match.com, eharmony.com or plentyoffish.com so it was quite interesting to see how data is related and how people perform searches.

    I am still not a believer in the online dating scene, as I don't use it myself (haha fucking funny right considering I built a website that does just that). but yeah to reiterate, what does everyone think of online dating?
    The sailors of the United States Navy are among the most disciplined, devoted, and well-trained fighting men the world has ever known. They drink gasoline and piss fire, The spit bullets and shit bombs, and will swim across the ocean with a knife in their teeth just for the chance to carve up those that threaten their homeland.

                  That's the problem that i have with it. It takes out the interpersonal aspect of it.

                      actually m8 i think ur wrong, i think the exact opposite, it works far too easy and a shitload of people fall for a false online personally and are actually disappointed when it gets to the next stage

                          I read a quote once that if it wasn't for craig's list casual encounters some people wouldn't ever get laid... I mean if someone lies, obviously they are not trust worthy, or are they desperate?

                              how is get2know monetized? are you selling ad space on the backend? I'm too lazy to make an account.

                              good luck with it though! I hope you're not deal with the massive headache of getting the initial userbase.

                                  thing is though m8 there is a HUGE difference in going out to get laid casually and actually finding someone who u could settle down with

                                          Like everything, you get out of it what you put into it. Online dating sites are a nice way to make an introduction, exchange some interests, then plan a meeting/date and go from there, just like you would if you met someone in a park, a bar, or any other social setting.

                                              That is my headache right now, yes it is. But in due time. I would rather get the database through real sign ups than stealing peoples information.
