Are you more likely to find love online or weirdos through Internet dating?

I think you have to use your head with meeting anyone anywhere. Hell, you should have seen the weirdo I just seen uptown. I'm thinking the safe ones have to be on the internet! ;)

I met my husband online :)

But, i'm sure you CAN meet weirdos online - but you can find weirdos on the street too, hehe.

I laughed and I cried at the answers.

The internet is made up of real honest to goodness humans that we see walking the streets everyday. some strange and some not. Your chances are somewhat better on line of finding true love because unlike in person you have a much wider range to look. But in doing so you also have a higher rate of finding someone weird as well.

It all comes down to how big of a playing field your wanting to look in. The thing to keep in mind is take things slow and be careful just like you normally would. The internet is a great tool but only for those who know how to work that tool. But it can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Weirdos can be found everywhere. At least online you can keep your distant.

I would say that you are more likely to be mislead by someone online than you would in person. There are a lots of weirdo's online who like to play perverted games with people, especially with women. Besides, you really cannot say that you love someone until you meet them in person and get to know them for real.

weirdos, social defects and sex offenders

I used to think that online dating was for the desperate or crazies....I have since changed my ways of thinking. I believe that online dating is a great way to get to know someone before actually having to meet them. That away you can try to weed out the desperate or the crazies. But then what do I know, I have never gave it a try.

I have met someone online, one of the best decisions I ever made

Thought I had found love online. But my room mate says
I've been duped. She thinks I spend too much time online and said again tonight I am addicted and need to see a counselor. In fact she asked me to move out immediately
said she knows I've been online today. Seems a little strange, but ok, I'll move. It isn't like I sit here all day except on the weekends when I do spend quite a bit of time. But it was due to the fact the person I thought I was communicating with someone I believed I had met in real life some time back.
I do plenty around here, so it isn't like I ignore the household by any stretch. Very weird, very very weird.
Seems like my own personal time should be my own personal time.

Love on line...bwaaa haaa

Weirdos can be found in bars, at dances, in church, online ... virtually everywhere you want to look. But at least online, they have to have a modicum of verbal skills, and you get to know them from the inside out, without being distracted overly much with physical appearance.

I did meet a weirdo online. We live together now;)

A little bit of both.

You can find love anywhere. It's the luck of the draw.

You could meet a nut anywhere. Just be careful who yu meet.

I find more weirdo and stalkers online than anything to be honest.

You could find (and I have found) both sorts. Just like in real life.

Either or. Depends on your discernment capability.

I feel in love with a weirdo I met online. You are going to find all kinds out there, Keithold.

Perverts and weirdos roam the internet.

Never trust a dating service or someone that appears to be to good to be true.

My daughter met this person on the internet. he flew in to meet her. sold her house and left for Seattle in a U Haul It. married on the way in Las Vegas and divorced 6 months later.

If it does work, the per centage has got to be very low.

I have never internet dated, so I can't say reguarding that.
But I met my husband and my 2 best-friends on line.
There are a few weirdos or just not honorable people I have met as well. So it isnt all good or bad.
All in all, I have mostly met pretty decent people.

I know people who were lucky and have found love on the internet and are very happy. But I have to think that there must be an awful lot of weirdos that crop and photoshop pictures of themselves, looking for that special person that won't notice. :)

You're more likely to find both love and weirdos. I've never tried any internet dating sites but it seems like legitimate ones like eharmony would weed the weirdos out.

the saying goes "you have to dig through alot of coal to find find 1 diamond." online or off there is alot more wierdos than normals.

I think weirdos, also you don't know who these ppl are. they could say anything about them selfs.

Not that they are all bad

I get a lot of weirdo's, eventually I'm sure I'll find the right woman. :)

wierdo's and scammers

I think it depends on how you act. If you plaster your profile with your sexy pictures and act provocativelly... but works the same in normal life...

there are certain times of behaviour that attract more weirdos...

50/50

I agree that there are wierdos everywhere. It also depends on what kind of site you go to as well.

Its like half desperate weirdos and like half already taken people looking to cheat. Pretty lame.

I would say 50/50

No one can really provide a adequate answer for this because each experience is different. Although people have found their lifelong mate off of the internet it can be a dangerous way of finding love, friendship, traveling partners or whatever the case may be. There is no sure way of finding out if someone you are chatting with is lying about who they are or what there real intentions are so you're actually taking a chance.a person can be whatever they want to be over the internet and There are people that have lost their life because of this or became victims of many other different crimes and I am sure the person they were chatting with didn't come across as a murderer or anything else.Is that a risk that is worth taking? Even having a conversation with a complete stranger over the internet you run more of a risk of being victimized in some form or fashion because more people are on the internet and it has been found that more rapists, child-molesters, murderers etc. are on the internet because they will always find at least one vulnerable person that they can victimize.

Well (sorry it's hard for me to type, I'm eating a ham sandwich) I know a few people that got happily united by online dating programs, it does happen often enough. But I have heard stories about kidnappings, murder, a bad life and a person you don't love truly, and other definite neg outcomes from online dating service. It does happen. Of course, you may just find that one special someone, but you could also meet a perv who wants to rape you but pretended to be sweet. I'd rather not try it.

I found the love of my life online. Although it wasn't your typical we talk online, we meet, we date, and we fall inlove situation. I was on a web site called hot or not and I rated this really hott guy a ten. I also added him to my I'd like to meet profile... through the same web site. One day I went through and I sent a "poke" which is just a small email that says so and so poked you. When this guy checked my profile and looked at my page his friend piped up and said "Hey I know that girl I met her at this bar." A few min later I got a call from him saying that his friend knew me and gave him my number and in the back ground I could hear my friend Alex lol. Turns out my town isn't as big as I thought.

He took me on a date... I fell in love with him and we've been together ever since.

Probably an even number of both...but the normal people are afriad to act on impulse for all the weirdo's out there.

I think there's a whole lot of gray area between love and weirdos on internet dating. But I just skip over the weirdos and try out the 'potential for love' ones.
I believe its entirely possible to find love on the internet. I have.

I don"t care how you try to justify your desperation, you can"t get a date like a normal person. I know a girl that thinks her online boyfriend is great looking & wonderful person. I saw him and he is ugly & weird acting. I guess ignorance is bliss!

Ive met both from on line dating.

I won't find neither cause I don't do that internet dating crap.

I doubt it's any more or less.

Weirdos.

I haven't found weirdos, but I did end up finding sleazy people. Your experiences may vary. If nothing else, maybe you could get artistic inspiration, maybe write a country song and call it "Love and Weirdos". lol

I say about 1/2 and 1/2 but I have always been afraid to go that route. There is a man that the FBI is looking for now who meets women online, and somehow gets their information and is doing ID theft in the amount of thousands of dollars..that is the reason i don't do online dating. There is no way to really check these people out and as we all know from the Dreanna situation..can you really trust what you read online?

I don't 'go' internet dating...But I haven't found any "weirdo's." lol

There is definately alot more weirdos online then true love, but its possible

I'd say roughly 50/50, same as if you met someone in a bar. If you want to meet someone and bars/clubs aren't your thing, the internet is a great place to start, I'm normal and have just started online dating, I hope I meet someone genuine.
