OK Cupid is like window shopping for the perfect guy, but I have my mind on a few I already know.

I used eharmony- waste of money, and plentyoffish- at least it was free.

I have used Okcupid and POF. I found my current boyfriend on Okcupid and he is an 80% match for me on there, though we didnt meet on the site.

I've never had success with online dating. I've met decent people, a couple of which I've come to value their friendship and it's not awkward thinking I met them online anymore. So it's not completely useless, but you can't rely on a bunch of text to know if you've got chemistry with someone. People perceive themselves so differently that I've met very few people who were the same person actually in person. With that said, I don't use sites anymore.

Happily married 32 years going on 33. I hope I never need a "dating site" and WOW...the INTERNET when we were dating was a STRING with two cans on the ends. Ha, Ha.

I do, however, know folks who have met, fell in love and married using eharmony with great success.

I used to be afraid of dating sites, but I've met a lot of cool people since signing up for OkCupid, even though none of them turned into partners.

I just joined POF Saturday night and have had like 8 hits already, including on person who lives in the same apartment complex!

So far, I like it!

Where's the poll option for "never would use a dating site AGAIN?" Ugh.

I know there are happy stories about relationships that started online, but I met my first boyfriend online and that ended horribly. It turned me off completely from dating sites.

I've used a couple of online dating sites, but most individuals want a hookup and not a relationship from both my experience and many of my friends' experiences. I did keep a hookup buddy for 2 years that I met online. lol.

I had an OKCupid account for a day and shut it down because my friends talked me out of it.

I met my soon-to-be-husband on PlentyofFish.com though I don't know it's really that great for matching people. He wasn't on my match list, but we found each other anyway. I had to figure out what keywords to use when searching to make it work best. Also, it's free (or at least it was when we were on it 2 years ago).

I like the "meet them in a bar, get to know them" kind of relationships. I would try dating sites when that falls through.

Just OkCupid and Plentyoffish. Plentyoffish was useless as all hell but I'm still on OkCupid for the sole purpose of finding friends at the moment. Stay on there long enough and you'll find someone, that's how it's worked for me in the past.

I've never used one but I am not against it.
My mom met her husband on a dating site. She had a lot of fun looking for him too.
