Well, here's my top 5 reasons, among others:

1) I am gay (not stereotypically) and 99.9% percent of you all are not
2) Most people here are VERY long distance
3) I am not in the position to be in a relationship right now
because of things going on in my life that need some sorting out,
but if I happened upon someone who somehow made me
forget all of that, perhaps my mind would change
4) I'm not in desperation, as some people on here honestly seem to be
for a relationship
5) Been there, done that- pretty jaded about relationships after a failed
engagement

To the OP- you'd be surprised how many people on here actually are here with the hopes of meeting someone to date, they probably just haven't told you. Also, if you are one looking for a relationship, perhaps start a thread with what you're looking for and see who responds.

Bay, let's date :D
 
The topic made a little sense.. but then I read the actual post. Dating isn't about mindless hookups just to get laid. Sure there are a lot of members here who are into that, but that doesn't mean everyone is.

If you paid more attention to some of those threads you mentioned, a lot of people say they are looking for long lasting, meaningful relationships and not one night stands. And when it comes to finding meaningful relationships, it takes a lot more than someone having a pretty face. People have to connect on a deeper level.

I would expect more relationships and friendships forming from this site, but I guess such things are easier to imagine than what reality provides. It's not as easy as "Hey, you're cute" or "Hey, we both like video games".

That's so true. Even if you're physically attracted to someone and have things in common with them, that doesn't mean there will be chemistry.
 
in the words of zach galifianakis portraying a cowboy on saturday night live a few weekends ago...

YOU'RE NASTY!!!
 
Oh, btw, OP- my response was to your thread's topic. I didn't read the bullshit you typed under it- I probably should have, but it's a waste of time. For the record, I believe in real "dating", morals, and self respect. It's probably why you're not having much luck "dating". You should try making an account on x-tube instead of here, and go for Craigslist if you want a meaningless fresia
 
Most of this thread was TL;DR, but I didn't come here to find someone to be in a relationship with . . I came here to make friends.

Well if you didn't read it, how do you know it's "bullshit" or "disgusting"? ;)

I didn't read it at first (not until after my first reply), smartass

I rarely meet anyone who I think is ugly and, this being the internet, almost everyone I meet is into video games or anime or other geekery. If it was that easy, I'd have a slew of dates lined up by now :p

And people looking for a one night stand can usually find those pretty easily. Loneliness is usually a deeper problem than just wanting sex. Like plenty of people said before, there are lots of people here who are married or have a SO and get plenty of sex every day. Yet they are still lonely. The OP is over-simplifying things.

Is that a serious question?
 
Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with dating someone you met on an internet forum (that's how I met my current boyfriend), but it can't be forced . . . . it just happens when two people have chemistry. And like several other people said: Some people (like me) are already in a relationship and that's not why they came here. There's also lots of people here who want more than just hook-ups even if they are single.

I also want to say that long distant relationships (from my personal experience and watching some of my friends do it as well) can be really hard in several ways and for certain people actually make their loneliness and unhappiness worse.

I'm surprised because no one ever says another person is ugly or unattractive. It's all "oh you look lovely, so cool, can't see any problems whatsoever".

Everyone here is single and horny, yes? All the virgin threads and where's a nice guy threads?

Surely the cost of petrol for a tryst would still be less than say an hr from an escort who do outcalls.

Right -- people in relationships just have perfect little lives, right?

Being in a relationship must solve all of your problems -- perfect loneliness quick-fix!
Being beautiful and having a perfectly chiseled body must excuse you from suffering all of the misery in the world.
Having lots of money must keep the fates away.

I dont think there is anything wrong with it if there is a mutual liking and a genuine interest between the two. As some other people said though if it is a long distance relationship it can be difficult... something to bare in mind.
