In this context I am not talking about a quick shag, I'm talking about dating, meeting new people etc. etc.

Yeah I would. I haven't though, but have thought about it in the past.
As said, there's a difference between dating and going on the pull in a club. You may find the type of woman you go for doesn't even go out to clubs that much, or if she did would never approach a random bloke / let a random bloke approach her.
So unless she was in your extended group of friends or where you work, then you would have limited choice of women you could try to go on a date with.
The main reason i wouldn't sign up would be of fear of people i know seeing me on the site and winding me up about it.
P.S. when the domain name is available I'll be launching my own free own like match.com etc - called 'breaktheice.com' - it will aim to make dating sites actually good and not just nonsense like they are now.

its too hard actually meeting people nowadays, anything that makes it easier is a good thing in my books

I wouldnt but know people who have and based on that no way would I "date" a girl on one of these sites. One of my mates pumped a bird off one and she told him after it that she'd been nailed off 32 guys of the site, so that plus all the people through normal life she had probably seen more helmets than hitler! He was off to the gum clinic like a shot.

Plus side is that you can let them pick you then you know if they are interested.
Going into the club and getting rejected isn't cool. Not that I was ever rejected  Too pussy to try my luck

Well considering there are just over 300 million people in the USA...
That works out to be just over 3,000,000 people.
So yes, it is actually very impressive.
I hav ea friend who has paid to use a site. None of this chav fest lark. People who pay are actually looking for a relationship and not a quick screw and online sex chat.
Seeing how its done, IF I were single i'd use it.
You don't find gf's through clubbing and that. Usually though activities and through friends etc. Do you really want to date that girl thats put out on the first night? Classy

No, never would. Seems a bit geeky and weird.
If you actually met someone you liked too and ended up having a relationship it'd be too embarrassing telling people you met them off the internet when someone asked how you met

10 years ago i'd agree.
Not these days though. Its a very very common thing.
In fact, I met Donna because of the internet. She found a friends website about his car and we all met up. I know a lot of people met via CS, which is the internet.

I still wouldn't. Prefer to go out and meet someone by chance either on a night out, a party or through work etc.
Lasses I have met on a night out and gone on to continue seeing are the ones that DONT put out on the first night. You just happen to meet them on a night out, get on well and take it from there.

Ahhh thats interesting MWG, see i've never met a girlfriend, ever from a single night out.
Pulled, yes, dated, no. Mostly because im battered and the old beer goggles have kicked in. I did pull what I thought was a mega hot girl in a bright tight short dress. I just remember blonde hair and an extremely nice arse. Met up for a date, needless to say when she went to the bog, I called my mates and got them to give me the old "fake emergency got to leave" phonecall 
Still, different lives. You are probably more buff and have better lines than me

I think it's much better to go out with some friends and connect with people they know.
