Re: Online Dating?

Pretty much all dating sites, by definition, are going to have men and women looking for quick hookups. But that doesn't mean that everyone there is after that. You just have to sort through everyone.

OKCupid is probably hands-down the best dating site, for two reasons: it's free, and it really tries to help users get their personalities across instead of just pictures. The profiles you can make can really be helpful, because they ask a variety of questions (none of which are the awkward "a perfect date is" or "I'm a sexy lonely blonde D-cup looking for fun"), and then the personality quizzes (which are kind of fun) help recommend people who are more similar to you.

Are there people looking for hookups? Yes, of course. But for what it's worth, you are able to put straight on your profile what you're after, be it friendship, long-term relationships, short term relationships, or casual sex. Does everyone abide by that, no. But I think OKCupid does try to be more immersive than the average site, and it's free, AND it's probably the most popular (?) dating site so that means you're going to have more options than probably almost any other site. I've had good experiences (though I'm a gay woman so there's that) but in the end, any sort of online dating is going to be the luck of the draw. It's not really about the website itself, just the users who happen to be in your area.

if you really don't want guys looking for quick hookups, I mean, you could try those crazy religious dating sites but somehow I think there are still going to be people there on the prowl. that's the nature of the dating world, alas.
