Ryuk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think that online dating is a good thing, sometimes healthy, espchally if you want one night stands etc... I often use plentlyoffish.com to meet people, its free and easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm using Okcupid atm not loads of people, but they seem...better than elsewhere I've been. It's free, too. OKCupid is the only one I bother with as there seems to be so many people. I guess that's location related though. I'd agree the people are better than elsewhere, seems a lot younger than others and I'd say the vast majority are really quite regular people. It's by far my favourite.

Hamishmash Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've been with the boyfriend I met online originally for over a year now and everythings bliss so... I think any stigma attached to online dating is gone. Nobody bats an eyelid anymore, at least not in younger generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've tried OkCupid, but it's simply not big enough in Denmark to be really viable. I guess I'd need to sign up to a Danish dating site, but they all seem to require payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm just after booting up Grindr. Turns out someone is after banning me! Apparently it was due to "inappropriate behavior, language and/or conduct" What?! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm tellin' you, these old men are sly little fuckers!

Wesley Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think online dating is weird. But I'm pretty weird so I'm not going to judge people who use it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ha that's brilliant. There's talk of a straight grindr app in the works but I'm not sure it will be as successful as the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wouldn't a straight Grindr just be filled with 90% horny straight guys? They might as well just use regular Grindr! I've tried OkCupid, but it's simply not big enough in Denmark to be really viable. I guess I'd need to sign up to a Danish dating site, but they all seem to require payment. Or do the long-distance thing. There was a whole Seinfeld episode about how great it is to date a woman you don't have to spend any time with. I'm just after booting up Grindr. Turns out someone is after banning me!Apparently it was due to "inappropriate behavior, language and/or conduct" What?! That's what happens when you don't put out!

chairdriver Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 A straight Grindr wouldn't work because our society's attitude to women and sex is still dominated by oppressive patriarchal ideals. As in, most of the girls I'm friends with are gagging for it, but don't want to tell the world because they're scared of being thought of as sluts.

Supergrunch Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) [i don't believe any argument that hinges upon "Men are hornier than women".] To be fair, there are good ecological reasons for women to be more choosy and men to be more ardent, which massively affects things. And this isn't the wafty pseudo-sexist kind of explanation you get in evolutionary psychology, it's far too robust and cross-species for that. But of course that's not the same thing as how much sex you want at all. Edited March 1, 2011 by Supergrunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
