The first site is farmersonly.com. While the site has the appeal of meeting other like minded people who are available for companinship, most farmers seemingly don't have time for computers. Or the women on there are all horse crazy. The main disadvantage the site has against it is the lack of information. I can't go on there and see if someone hasn't been on in a day or a year. You also have to pay for a the ability to send messages, and look at other profiles. At the basic membership you can only see other peoples main picture and name. Since I upgraded to a premium paying membership, I can view profiles and send messages. While I have had some success emailing back and forth with some ladies, nothing has really come to or shown any real prospects. Some of the more local girls I find on that site don't respond to messages because they are presumably not online all that often.
The second site I am on is okcupid.com. While the site has better layout and functionality, it is also more depressing. I get on there and see all these 18 to 20 year old girls signed up who complain about guys treating them bad or how hanging out with their friends is one of their favorite activities. I occasionally find some one a bit interesting that results in some emails back and forth. However, the interest usually trails off. I can't quite decide how someone signs up for a dating site and is as unresponsive as some of the women are on there. I may not have the most appeal, but I can keep up some email banter for some time. I have found one lady friend on there who I am still hoping to get a date with, but she seems disinterested. I found her profile on the site and realized that I had already meet the girl. We were able to send some messages and I was able to briefly talk to her when I was working at the same location as her. I couldn't say much since I wanted to be discreet at this location. That all started at the end of december, and I haven't got her to agree to a date yet. I just have to keep trying, she does seem interesting, but I feel that she is a bit guarded at our mutual location also.
Honesty, I am ready to quit the online dating sites and just devote myself more to church and church activities. I have heard the saying that you meet decent people at decent places. While this saying may hold true for bars and other crowded dark areas for people up late at night, I do think that online dating may have some good potential there. I have seen several profiles of seemingly good if not great women on those sites.
