| | Lately I have been seeing numerous signs for dating websites while I am out driving around. These sites are a little different than eHarmony or those other large national sites. These sites are for only small areas. I have now seen them for three different suburb municipalities of the metropolitan area I live in as well as one subarea of the main city.
I feel it prudent to state a personal viewpoint: I view people who are using dating sites as desperate people who likely don't have much to offer a significant other.
I suppose if you are using a dating site that only draws from a very small area then you might not be as desperate as someone who is using a national or international site but it also presents other problems. One problem in my mind is how lazy and afraid of people do you have to be to try and use a website to meet people in your immediate area? I mean you are not likely to meet anyone on a site like who wouldn't be going to the same grocery stores, coffee shops and parks that you would which makes them people that you would be likely to run into if you just could get yourself to get out of the house and allow yourself to meet other people. Now I suppose you could say that it is difficult to meet people in stores and other such places because we are all too involved with our own lives but it is my belief that if a relationship is meant to develop and has any real chance of succeeding then both of you would overcome those things to meet each other. I also believe that if you are that lazy and scared of people then you likely don't have much to offer a relationship anyway.
I guess I would like your opinions on dating sites for small localized areas and whether or not you would ever use one.
