Anybody have any good experience with dating services on-line, or with those "adult" dating services?
E-Harmony? Adult Friend Finder? The "QUEST" telephone chat lines? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to, on the one hand, find a "real girlfriend" while, on the other hand, getting someone who is interested in relationship-that-includes-sex rather than simply pay-for-play. I'm not sure the internet is the right place to do this -- I'm in school on a college campus, of course, so maybe I should just learn to pick girls up at the campus watering hole (although that's something I've never been able to do in the past, so I don't know why I'd think it would work in the future). But I'd like to maximize my likelihood of effectiveness on the internet.
So, there are really several questions. First, how to winnow out the sex providers who DON'T want a relationship, from the women who do, on certain services accessible by telecommunications. Second, which of those services is effective. Third, how to go about finding a girlfriend at all. Fourth, how to get a girlfriend who's actually interested in sex. And so on.
(Caveat: I'm using "get a girlfriend" as short-hand here. I'm not really assuming that the internet will "get a girlfriend" for me, but I didn't want to get into that whole philosophical / social conversation. Hmm. Didn't do a very good job of avoiding it, did I?)
Thanks for any advice! :)


Book Guy,
I've used Sugardaddyforme and have had some success. Some of the ladies are up front pay-for-play, others want the song and dance/get to know you/do we have chemistry thing, but ultimately, all roads are intended to lead to sex.
In the month I've been on the site ($40/month), I've hooked up with one gal for $100, had lunch with another (no chemistry either way), and am working on about 3 others and have gotten to the point where we both know what the deal is.
I think it's worth a try, but it can be time consuming determining who you might be interested in and going through the emails, im's, etc.
Good luck!
