Now when I return to dating it feels like a different scene - men are sadly come across as sleazy, "Hey sexy!" Is the common opening line...and then a few words on whaty you up to... I have gotten so frustrated with it I removed any trace of me being a member on the sites. Now I'm at a lost of where I can find this elusive chap!! Single,wishing I wasn't but on the whole happy! i totally agree with everything you have written. 5 years aog when I started online dating it was a quiet secret that I kept, but as I met some nice guys and eventually a good guy who I as with for 18 months I started to advacate it.

I'm not sure what the "next best thing" is to meet people, but so far online dating and asking friends just hasn't worked out too well - or at least, it hasn't recently. Same as you, about five years ago, it was amazing... lots of great people online. Now... its almost like its seen as an easy and cheap way to get laid, and nothing more.

Having had the same experience I recently started my own dating site which says on the home page "old fashioned and proud of it". So maybe I am an online dating snob too.
