I'm 20 something and thinking about that too. My friends dared me to get Tinder... so I did. It's addicting. But I don't suggest it for anyone over the age of 30. It's a hookup app even though I have absolutely zero intentions of doing that. Apparently when you're life is work/horses/barrel racing/gym there isn't much time to meet guys! |

I am just glad I am not alone... I have no interest in the online thing (no offense that those who do it, just not for me). But if im not working, I am at the barn. |

Yep. I'm 20- tomorrow. I was married and divorced young. Since then it's work, ride, sleep. I do nothing outside of that and quite honestly don't really plan on changing it soon. I don't want to die alone or live alone for that matter but it's not really looking any other way without some help. I'm on POF. I actually respond to about 1 guy a week. Sometimes I quit talking to them because they say something weird or I lose interest. I have met 3 in person. Only 1 looked like what I expected him to and he was freakin bat sh*t. I have hung out with 1 a few times and he is really nice but there is nothin there. The other was raised without manners (not rude but childish/sloppy) so I quit talking to him instead of telling him that lol.
I want to try eharmony. I am into older guys like (23-28) range because of who I am and what I have been through I am not the average 20yo. I know we all say that. I get it. But uuuhhhh I'm currently basically raising my parents. I am their financial advisor, the house keeper, the logical thinker. The mother basically. I don't want another "child" on my list. Right or wrong makes no difference. That's just how it is. |

| I know that Farmers Only has the cheesiest commercials but my mom's had pretty good luck with it! I bet Equine Singles (I think it's called) would be a good try too. They're about the only dating sites you can connect with people that have mostly the same interests as country girls/cowgirls, you'd have more of a selection! Lol |

I did on and off for a few years before I met hubby, who I met on match.com. I was careful to research and screen the men before I met them. I always met them in a public place and gave either my mom or my best friend all of the pertinent information about where I was and who I was with.
That said, the men themselves were EXACTLY who they said they were. That doesn't mean that they were who I thought they were. There is a lot that gets left out over the interwebz. How I read an email is different than how someone writes the email. How I perceive something is different than the actuality.
I learned pretty quick not to expect anything to be what I thought besides the facts (age, hair color, job etc.). I dated probably half a dozen different men casually and knew that nothing would come of them.
When I finally paid for a match.com profile, I went for broke. I put my parameters in at my dream man. I didn't put the things down that were acceptable to me, or the things that I could live with. I put down exactly what I wanted. There were only like 5 matches for me. 2 of which responded to me. 1 of which I met. We had the fairy tale first date.
I won't say our relationship is any easier than any other, but I have a great life.
Same experience I had. The other sites like POF seemed liked hook up spots for cheapos. I went ahead and paid for match and it was definitely worth it. My hub is exactly my dream man, and I don't know that we would have met any other way, since he lived a few towns over.
I darn sure KNOW I would have never, ever met my husband. He was a city boy through and through, drove an itty bitty sports car, loved happy hour and lived at the beach. We are in different career fields and different towns.
It wasn't until he met me (complete 180 from anyone he dated at all) and started hanging out that he realized the country life he grew up with was actually where he was happier. He's back to hunting again and sold the RX8 for a Jeep. |

Location: NE Texas | I met my hubby on POF and we'll have been married 4 years on Saturday. There was definitely some weeding out I had to do, but eventually he contacted me, and the rest is history. I had fun on there and would just say that a person has to have common sense about online dating and most important thing IMO about dating...online or otherwise....is to be yourself from the very beginning and not who you think they are looking for. The first time I met my hubby I showed up in lounge pants a hoodie and a ball cap. LOL
I tried equestrian singles too and met a couple interesting guys on there, but overall these guys were wannabe cowboys, which is a huge turnoff for me. |

Location: British Columbia | I met my fiance through POF. He was the 3 guy I went on a date with from the site after 1,000,000 skeezy messages to filter through. It makes it easier to meet people, but not necessarily the right people. I've always found it impossible to meet people after college, even friends. I worked a lot and wasn't social, so the internet was really my only option lol! |
