Match.com: Still Creepy? or Totally Mainstream?

[Doctor Z]

Is it for normal people at this point? Or are online dating sites still strictly for creeps?

[sailor]

never less socially acceptable than any other method to meet people to date.

[JerseyRich]

match.com stinks.

[epo]

Both?

From what I've heard, Match.com is very "anti-creepy" (as in, I think they don't like anyone who isn't "mainstream"). They turn a lot of people down. As far as dating sights in general, like Sailor said, how is it really all that different than anything else? For example: People say that people lie about themselves online. Do these people actually think people in bars are always honest?

Oops... Too late to edit my last post. I was actually thinking of E Harmony, when I said Match.com had the bad rep.

Unless people are putting on Mission Impossible super-lifelike masks to cover their true looks when they go out to bars now, I think there's a bit of a difference. I mean they might be, I've been out of the dating scene for some time now.

I'm not talking about looks. I mean people lie about their life. It's not so hard to get a true representation of what someone looks like on the internet. Someone would be just as much of an idiot, if they physically met someone on the internet without knowing what they looked like, as they would be if they automatically believed someone in a bar wasn't married or on a sex offender's list.
