I am moody, grumpy, have grey hair coming through, one little toe is the same size as the big one, and I am often reduced to a whining ball of immaturity

For a project I am doing on Internet dating, I am really interested in finding out:

What are the positives/negatives of Internet dating over other methods, ie newspaper ads, friend setups, etc

Any funny tales to share? No names necessary.

Leeeeeeee

Cheers.

Dont know about the pros cons really but I met my current partner (now civil partner) 7 years ago on gaydar.

I would say that it allows you to get a look at the other person (and i mean personality wise as well as photos) and you can speak to them in real time before meeting

Positives: convenience really. It provides a convenient place to meet potentially like-minded people.

Negatives: it makes people think they're in a supermarket shopping for the right man. All the stereotypes and hangups tend to come forward as the other person becomes more objectified into statistics and treated less as a person and more as a potential aquisition. It also cannot simulate the many ways that people communicate who they are: body language, voice etc.

I've only ever dated through the internet.

I think for people in small towns and the countryside, its the only way lol

Harrogate is not known for its vibrant gay scene lol
