I don't find it stupid at all. I mean, my sister found her husband on an online dating site, and I am sure that if nobody ever had a successful time on one of these sites, they'd go out of business. So, I don't think it's desperate. I find it more of a way to broaden your options when you may have a harder time meeting people in your day-to-day life.

I'm sure you've heard the saying "you have to go through a few frogs to get to your prince," right? Sorry if it was you who had said it, I know I saw it from a THer but I don't remember who! But regardless, I am a believer in that. Most people don't find "the one" the first time or two around. But as long as they keep trying, they'll find someone.

So personally, online dating isn't stupid. It expands your options a bit and allows you to get to know other people. While Holly is right that people CAN lie, I think that there are just as many people out there that are truly trying to find the one for them.
