Meeting someone through FreeRepublic makes sense. At least you are more likely to be conservative... What I should have said was meeting people "blindly" on the internet, such as through one of those money mill sites. Finding people through common interests makes perfect sense.

I would never have enrolled at 'dating' sites, but not for the same reason you judge them... For me, it's not because I feared them lying to me, but more because I don't have the kind of personality that could write an ad for myself or respond to one. It seems to me to be a very loaded place to say "hi" to someone. The way I did it, I began flirting with someone here I already knew as a friend, our relationship did not begin as dating screening, it began as good conversation.

But, for more outgoing personalities, it ~can~ work. I know someone who met and married through an online singles service.
