    Red face Online dating: How to click the right man - HAHA

    As it appears on MSN.com

    How do you know if a man has good click appeal? Read on ...


    It used to be as easy as throwing on your sexiest LBD and working a room. Nowadays, women find themselves scanning the potentials on their laptop lunchtime break. Welcome to the new age of dating. Although this new method of mingling has been gaining popularity over the past couple of years, many women (and men alike) are still hesitant to break the mould of the traditional meet-and-greet.

    Here, our cheat sheet on the etiquette of online dating. Take control of the mouse ... and your love life.
    When Virginia Guevara first chatted with her now-boyfriend on MSN, they talked for seven hours. The next night, they did the same, and by the end of the week he was in Montreal to visit her.

    This is online dating in a nutshell. A tempting promise of finding your exact match without having to leave the comforts of home -- and pajamas -- to find him. "It's kind of like a market," says Guevara. "There's a lot of options, and you can go and look for exactly what you want." Although it's true that the apples are yours for the picking, keep in mind you're not the only one hungry for them. "Web dating is a competitive market," says Lavalife spokeswoman Lori Miller. "Hundreds of people are scanning the same profiles as you for eligible mates."

    So, how do you stand out from the virtual crowd when Mr. Right pops up on your screen? All of you single Web women out there, read on to learn how to make yourself unique, how to pick the right man for you and how to remember all of their names when the dates start rollin' in!

    different streaks for different freaks, whatever works, i know some people who had gr8 online dating experiences and others who had horrible stories, its all hit and miss, personaly i think you have the same chance of meeting"mr or mrs right" online as you do in a regular social environment, it is all a matter of timing and little bit of luck . but, on the flip side,there are those who are looking SO hard for the perfect match,they sometimes just settle for something they find that is adequte but not there ideal match. on that note there may be something to be said of just letting it happen the natural way rather than pushing the envelope

    People get addicted to online dating. I know guys who spend time talking to 5-6 different people at once and never focusing on one. They never really get to know anyone because they're too distracted by the next one and the one after and after.

    Yeah that is bad. Also, the internet is a players dream. I think they're on there just to pump their egos. Just to see how many people they can get interested.

    I don't think the net is a total wash up.. but u can't spend ur life interacting with someone on it and have a relationship between you the computer and a person on the other side.

    To use it to faciliate a meet is fine - but it cant be the straw that holds a relationship together.

    I know alot of ppl who have had ads , i've had one before- but in all sincererity - what ended up happening is people who had already meet me when i had been out one night, or people i already knew would msg me.

    I found my g/f on myspace...it turns out she lived on the floor above me all 4 years I was in college and we never knew it. She also has the same bday as me, drives the same car, loves the same music, and likes to work out! Sometimes it can work, as we are very happy!

    Well yeah, myspace allows you to be a part of a community that isn't specifically geared towards dating. We hung out a few times just because we had a lot in common and she lived near me..it wasn't a "match.com date"...we didn't go into it thinking like that, so it was a lot more enjoyable and no expectations. Eventually it just turned into a relationship...good stuff!

    Not for me. I have 2 web pages and I get emails and IMs constantly. Either from other countries, *which is useless* people looking for sex, *again useless* or perverted internet weirdos. *obviously useless* Very seldom do I get emails from normal people that live on this continent. It's strange when you're walking down a street in another country and someone says they have seen you before. It was flattering but also freaked me out.

    I'm hot in Spain, Brazil, Portugal, France, Australia and New Zealand. That's where I get the most emails from. I get an email from someone in NYC like never. Apparently I'm not hot in the good ol' USA.

    I met my girl on a swedish dating site. We have been togheter for over a year now and we moved togheter this summer. It works for sum of us

    Before her I meet 1 phsyco, a couple of girls I just meet once, 2 milfs I nailed and 1 girl I was **** buddy with for a while. So dont bash the net, its heaven for picking up milfs and 99% of them are allright in the head.

    but I agree it can be VERY time consuming. When I used it just to get laid hell I spent countless hours each day. I must have talked to hundreds of different chicks. But beats going out and spending money on drinks I suck at picking up chicks at bars anyway and I have a bit of social anxiety so I hate places like that.

    I have that to. I'm uncomfortable in large groups and it doesn't help when they keep looking at you.

    I don't really have social anxiety.. I think i'm shy but no one blelieves me.

    Best way i describe my shyness is that of a child - when they hide behind their friends - i don't mind when a room full of people are looking at me, but one on one makes me nervous.

    The thing that kills me they assume just because you're built you can't be shy or uncomfortable. People say stuff to me like you don't look like the type. Or with a body like that how can you be shy. The body causes more people to look at me. Which makes me even more uncomfortable.

    See, you don't get it. It's not that they're intimidating. That's not it at all. The entire social situation is just uncomfortable.

    I met my wife through online dating. Just like anything you do. You have to weed through all the bullshit and flakes to get to the one you want.

    How many people do you meet in daily life or at bars, etc.. Just to find that perfect somebody. It all correlates the same way.

    I think online dating is good because you can sort through the bs before even meeting the person.

    To use it to faciliate a meet is fine - but it cant be the straw that holds a relationship together.

    I know alot of ppl who have had ads , i've had one before- but in all sincererity - what ended up happening is people who had already meet me when i had been out one night, or people i already knew would msg me.
    Totally true. I had something along those line for over 6 months. Distance got in the way of the meeting and things never happened. In all honesty though I did learn alot about myself from it, so it is not all bad.
