I think nice, normal, socially adjusted people just don't need the internet to date/socialize.

lol, I love how women see men as the issue and vice versa.. I have met some awful kinds of crazy from the female population. Its not just men. women carry the crazy too.

I'm not against online dating. I met my wife on ToonTown XD. Although, I wouldn't consider myself normal.

I met my wife IRL. But we grew from casual acquaintances to friends via email. Without those conversations, we would never have gotten together.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. I've tried it twice but for guys it's just as difficult as the picture above implies – it's not easy meeting a 'normal' person. Saying that, meeting a normal person whilst going out isn't easy either. I met my girlfriend in a pub, which is a bit cliché, but if you're trying to find someone who really connects with you it's better to have an open mind on how you might bump into that person.

He may be all those things, but she is emotionally unstable and has an unhealthy diet of computer hardware. We're not all perfect ;).

Online allows us to be picky and dismissive without much personal discomfort, so some good people (potential mates) are dismissed due to poor grammar or unflattering pics. When meeting someone IRL, one tends to take in the package as a whole. Online allows me to pick someone apart word by word, character by character.

Full disclosure, I met my partner online in 2004, and he is mostly awesome! 🙂

I hate bars. Smoke. Loud music I rarely like. Dim lights. That means I can't tell if the peoples can carry on a conversation, look decent, or smell clean. WTF kind of place is that to meet anyone?!

Good question +Amanda Blain and thankfully, I'm married and no longer have to go through the whole dating hell.

Your question is timely because I just started working with a guy (also from Canada) who is experiencing the same dilemma. He finds it's easy to meet woman through the sites he utilizes, but complains it's difficult to meet quality woman due to the fact that so many stretch the truth or eliminate key details, etc.
