Are Social Network Sites (facebook Etc.) Better For Singles To Meet Potential Dates Than Dating Sites?

I have heard that some singles find it easier to meet people on social networking sites because there is less attention to the “dating” focus than the free online dating sites.
Wondering if you’ve had the same experiences or have an opinion about this topic.

  • I think they can be. If you like rollerblading for instance, you could go on Meetup.com and look for a rollerblading club. You would meet new people in the club which may or may not be single. Even if you don’t find someone single in the club, you have expanded your social circle. A member of the club may have a single friend they want to introduce you to.

    OK so we all know Myspace, Friendster and Facebook, the media darlings. Typically what sets these places apart from the “dating” sites are they don’t charge memberships, since there’s no fee’s to be paid to be a member, these sites are going to get alot more popular, and paid dating sites will become less profitable
    I found one in particular that only had 11 members, http://www.meetinglane.com , all the same I sent a question to the admin about something was answered in just about 2 minutes, granted they dont have the member base of the big guys, but sure was nice to get my question answered, unlike most dating sites and social networks.
    Ironically, Im now seeing one of the few members they have Great job as small as you are! I just wished that the paid dating sites would disappear totally,

  • I have actually played internet pool on yahoo and met a really good guy for a bit. Then internet poker on facebook (that was good). But my friends have found eharmony to be good if your into paying. You can meet good guys everywhere you just need to be open. However be careful there are bad guys out there so be on the watch out.

    Well personally I would think most people who aren’t looking for love online would be freaked out if they got commented by some randomer asking them on a date or whatever.Dating sites are made for a reason.

    no i don’t think so. i mean, it might be easier for you to find someone who wants to go out but you are less sure if they are REALLY single and you kno less about them than on a dating site. i would stick to specifically made date sites

    you should try myspace.
    you can see their age, were they live, their pictures, and everythign. but you can put your page private first/
    i had experiences and they did work in myspace.

    i don’t think so, i find most of the single guys on facebook creepy and only looking for one thing. i’d stick to dating sites because you know those people want a relationship.

  • There is a social network where you can meet single people to date and have sex with if that’s your thing here’s the website
