Do personals actually work in this modern age of dating websites, where most people won't even touch an advert if it doesn't have at least 3 pictures attached and a member with a popularity rating of at least 3 million?
Or where you find yourself being spammed every single day by the days 2 new members of said dating site, that turn out to be the admin created accounts of the day, just to try and invoke more interest in the site. Of course, never actually being able to read the thousands of messages these daily faked accounts appear to send you, unless you pay $100 dollars up front to get a double platinum gold and diamond account.
I actually find it hard to believe these 30 worders in newspapers and magazines would ever actually work any more. It just seems a really outdated method, considering there are sites out there where you can pretty much find someone to meet up with at any given notice, just for quick and dirty casual sex now, no strings attached.
Or at the same time, there is all the Russian bride style dating websites, where you can pretty much pick yourself a bride i the space of 10 minutes, cause some of these females are so desperate to get out of their country and get a western passport and also because the amount of females to males is something like 15 to 1, of course some of those sites are serious con's at the same time.
I must be getting either old or just far to content with Robyn, cause all these new fangled methods of meeting people do my head in, I just can't get my head past the ideas of seeing someone you like across a room or pub or work place or whatever sending a smile over to them and then basically awaiting their reaction and then if a positive reaction comes, taking it from there. Of course, the modern part of me also finds building up a friendship over time via a community like TF or through a game like Mir a much more normal method, where your getting to know the persons personality first and then over time it naturally progresses.
But ...
X seeks Y for good time = quick dirty sex = cya next month = multiply by thousands doing same = seriously dangerous levels of disease spreading = no thanks, not for me.
