[quote=Anonymous]Some intensely negative responses on here!

I met my wife on match, and also found several good LTRs on match, chemistry and OKC.  I went on a few dates from PoF.

I would never do christianmingle or eHarmony as I am kind of anti-religiosity, an atheist (cultural protestant - Episcopal, not Calvinist), and I suspect that those sites have only overt or closet-case thumpers.  I am a bit of a perv/kinky person (though not just looking for hookups) so I really liked OKC - mainly because it was easy to screen out people who were unlikely to be a good fit if and when we ever got to the bedroom.  I was not looking for ONS or hookups.

I don't think online dating is any different from bar, meetup or other dating: it's just a way of finding out who else is in/on the market - often people you would otherwise never encounter.  I did run into women who were trying to beat their biological clocks and felt they weren't interested in me, so much as certain superficial attributes, and I passed on them.  Given my age cohort (30-40), I ran into a lot of women who had commitment/intimacy issues which were the reason they had never settled down.  The thing is: this is no different than meeting women (or men) anywhere else.

As a previously divorced person myself, I have to agree that you should wait a good long while (I'd suggest a year) post-divorce, not post-separation before starting anything serious with someone new.  I do think there's nothing wrong with casual dating and booty calls during that period...just don't trust your emotions...they're in a churn...don't make any long-term commitments or plans.  The booty call can always turn into something serious after that year.  [/quote]
