CosmicBills Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I've known friends who've done it and had some success and others who have walked away with hilarious stories of faliure. What's interesting to me is that in my age group (27) it seems to be becoming more and more popular. I'm not sure if it's because the stigma has dissappeared (Myspace, Instant Messanger, Text messages -- hell everything seems to be electronic these days) or if it's more that my age group is reaching the point where we are getting just a bit too old for the college/post grad type bars and not yet old enough for the other social venues (read: have enough money). It's funny now for me being back in school, I have a wide age range of friends (from 20 to 35 really) and the ones closer to 24 tend to look down upon the online scene (though they are all about using both Myspace and Facebook to "cyber stalk" the people they are into -- more girls than guys which is interesting). However, the ones closer to 27=30 range are lining up to get online because they are "sick of the bar scene". I don't know if it's an age thing? Have the rest of you noticed an age amungst your friends where online dating has become the latest fad?

CosmicBills Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Ya! The guys I work with that use are in the 50-60 range... Really... 860816[/snapback] That's actually interesting -- if I had to guess (and apparently I'm a bad guesser) I would have thought it would be really popular in the 20-40 range and less popular the closer you got to 50 only due to the fact that the older crowd doesn't seem to be as online savy. And yes, I know that is a gross generalization -- just going off of my own experiences
GoodBye Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 By all my calcs... AJ is still in that pool... Did I just say that? Signed, Tevye in Illinois 860788[/snapback] Yeah, he is. He's one of the good ones.

Weren't they "parked" in front of the tube growing up in the 1950-1960's? Now my father, mother and father in-law (born pre WWII) from the Depression and before... Really were not... Yet, my mother was (born 1940) or would have been (she passed on in 1999)... She was an accountant, we had a computer in the family since they started cloning PC's in the mid 1980's... Heck... My in-laws still have a corded phone... My wife didn't get color TV till she was 19 (1986)... They would still have a rotary wall phone if the thing didn't break 10 years ago... Don't sh*t yourself about the "boomers"...
CosmicBills Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Don't sh*t yourself about the "boomers"... 860828[/snapback] Hahahaha, okay. Fair enough. I still think it's interesting that, at least in the 20 something crowd, online dating gets more popular the closer you are to 30.

I had no idea she even used computers so it surprised me when I learned she had met him that way.
Chef Jim Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I would have to say no seeing I was married in 1983 way before Al Gore brought us all these tubes.

aussiew Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 The guys I work with that use are in the 50-60 range... Are they energetic, flexible Bills fans?
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Are they energetic, flexible Bills fans? 860942[/snapback] Yes. Yes/maybe ... But Bears' fans... They look at me as if I am from Mars... Like I said, the "pool" is small Aussie... You might have to lower the bar a bit, unfortunately with the most important qualifer (Bills' fan)...
