Absolutely ! Though "successful" can be a subjective term ...

And I personally know of three couples, all married now for at least ten years - all met online.

Yes, one. On our first date we smiled at each other and both knew it would work. It was instant recognition. It turned out that we had almost met three times much earlier in our lives, but by some strange juxtaposition of space we missed. This time was magical and steamy, however, we couldn't make it last longer than three years together. We tried. We each had issues of mistrust. I still miss her a little.

After a number of years of separation, I decided to give online dating sites ago (not Tinder). I was (as with this site) brutally honest in my profile and bio. I don't try and present a false image of myself as it would only serve to to put the other person off at first contact. I actually got four responses from four women at different times, from four different States, each with remarkably similar stories. I won't go into too much detail, but I did find out later that these contacts were actually scammers operating from a 'boiler room' in south East Asia. I also however got scammed out of some money before I realised what was going on. I have to admit it made me very dubious about online dating. I guess if you are lonely, you actually want to believe that a person/s avatar/photo is real. I do believe however that this site is more about communicating with like minded people than dating, from my experience so far.

I haven't been able to bring myself to join a dating site. This site is as close as I'm willing to get. My friends have used tinder, but none of them found their current partners there.

I did! We've been married 6 years & still going. I met some really interesting people online dating (and I met some creeps too). But overall I enjoyed the adventure

I had luck meeting someone online. It was a long-distance relationship and that was problematic. It lasted four years and then his mental status (I think he had a breakdown) changed dramatically and that was the end of the relationship. It just took me WAYYYY too long to realize that.

But in the online setting, you have to wade through a lot of crazies to find a good person, and that takes a lot of energy. I'm basically an introvert so meeting someone new requires me to interact in ways that aren't very natural to me. I've weighed the pros and cons and decided that I'm going to stay on the sidelines for a while, because playing the game is too much of a pain in the butt right now.

yes, lasted about 3 years. Was very good, her ex and kids were problematic. Lady was great until her brain exploded and she became the bitch form hell. Who just happens to be visiting this weekend, we split up in 2004.

No, not yet. No luck interacting with anyone so far.

A year long relationship from Plenty of Fish I think. Was 8 years ago and threw him out after car accident by tractor trailer that was a hit and run. Fishy really fishy.

I've had a few over the years

I have had a couple over the years. One lasted until he passed which was over 10 yrs or more and remained very good friends. A few others just became more good friends & FB friends but they are few and far between.

Nope. I did meet one excellent woman, but it was a long distance connection, and I couldn't really see that working. I did read a recent article that said that dating sites offer a low probability of meeting someone, and that a single person would have a better chance of meeting a potential partner in social settings.
