Well I can give my experience if anyone is interested.
I wasn't looking for a partner, just for friendship with people with similar interests, and that was why I put my email in a list on a certain site, that was in May 2006. In September of the same year I got a reply [the only one I ever got, and eventually deleted my email adress from the list later] from a guy and it's a wonderful relationship now. We have met in person too but for now the relationship is still long distance because it's complicated with money and practical life. But we are sure we belong together, it is all quite miraculous, the way we met and how it turned out. We are bothe Christians and serious and comitted in this relationship.
So you don't have to dismiss this; because you can never know when and how you'll meet the right one for you. The internet is very helpful with it, it opens possibilities to get to know people you otherwise would never get to know. If you keep meeting the same circle of people in your city, you may think there's noone for you. But maybe the perfect person for you lives somewhere further, and in that case it's surely worth it! [Even when, practically and financially, it can be harder than with someone who lives close to you. But it all depends on the couple and if they really want to make it work.]
 
I think is cool

I dont see anything bad about the internet dating, but may are putting on a mask to chart without people, the motive of some are so ugly, the issue is who to trust, how do you know why you are been loved, for who you are of what you are....
I some mails get into my box only God know how it get there., a lady telling me that she love me.. someone i have never meet. i never talk to her, i dont even know how she got ma ID..... you see what i mean... nothing is bad in it though but we just have to be careful on how we go about it.

I have used a couple of sites to meet people, but not for dating. I was on 2 separate ones to meet folks as activity partners/friends (to do things outside the home when I didn't have errands/chores to do). Go for coffee, go shopping, go out to lunch, and play pool. Nothing serious. Just clean, honest friendship activities.

And from my experience, it's a scam. Most people on those things lie about themselves and/or have pictures of themselves from long time ago and don't look like that NOW. And most just wanted to go have drinks (I quit drinking quite a while now and was not looking for a drinking buddy).

To me, it's all lies and it's wrong. What happened to meeting people in person, at a random place, like back in the days? At least, you saw what they looked like and how they act, right there in front of you!

I say NO to dating sites/frienship finder sites.
