How many of you truly believe you will find true love by joining dating sites?

it seems everyone is so quick to tell single people to join internet dating sites to look for their partner but how many of you actually truly believe that you yourself would meet your husband/wife this way?

1. 5% chance to be honest .!
2. I know people who have used sites and found a partner. I doubt that you would find true love.
3. I found what I thought was true love on myspace about 4 years ago, but it only lasted 3 1/2 years...
4. i say its bullshit you cant find true love on the internet they are all fake you have to really get to know a person for true love
5. I did!!!!!! Ok it wasn't a dating site exactly. I met my partner on faceparty which is a dating/socialising site. I found this to be the best site at the time as because we were just looking for friends and not dating there was no need to tell any lies. Often on dating sites people will lie to try to make themselves look better. We chatted for a few weeks then decided to meet up for a night in the pub. 5 Years later we are still very happy and very much in love and looking forward to our wedding!
6. I know people who have met that way but for every success story i have heard 100 horror stories. I guess i see it like gambling - you are more likely to lose money than win it but if you do win it feels good. People keep gambling and throwing their money away in the chance they might win. Well online dating is like that - you can keep throwing your time away going on dates with people that are ten years older than their photo or whatever and maybe waste a few months of your time before coming across someone half decent. I tried it and it sucked for me and i am not into it now.
7. I met my husband on one. We were both on the site to date, neither expecting anything too serious...here we are. But I agree with the person who said for every success story, there are tons of horror stories.
8. It could happen, some people meet and it works fine for them. I know some guys who have done this and they are happy. Others can be a big let down and don't forget there are Scams. One friend joined and was offered a Russian woman to chat to, I know it's an odd thing but he contacted her, she actually said she was still living in Russia, but would like to come to UK and meet up with him. He continued e-mailing and in the end he received a call when he had given his phone number with her saying she was at the airport, but needed money to book into a hotel for the night, could he send a money order to an account she had! Oh dear, bells started to ring. He did not do anything else, but looked on the site when other Russian girls were listed, they all had the same surname, just different forenames and would you guess, they were all the same picture! For me, I would say a low chance of finding real true love, but it's only my guess.
9. Logically, it is actually more likely to do so in that way, I could never do it personally, just through personal preference more than anything else but the truth is the way in which a 'match' is calculated would actually mean that this other person should be similar to you in more ways than in a real dating environment (not to say dating sites aren't a 'real' environment). I will have to say though searching for Mr or Mrs Wright the other way is much more fun.
