Carbon Dating

Okay, so it's not about Carbon Dating as such; it's more about online dating - but there really is a dating site called Carbon Dating, for those of you in Oz, the U.K, the U.S.A. and Canada; and apparently it's not only for fossils and relics. For us locals, there's the ever-popular DatingBuzz, amongst others (link provided below this entry for your convenience!)

On the other hand, for those "gogos" and insects I've heard about who frequent these sites, try Alaska or Siberia. No links provided; board a plane. Just take shorts and sandals with you. October to March would be a good time.

Judging by some of the stories I've heard from women, the insect population of Alaska and Siberia is set to explode. On the International dating scene, I've heard of sewage posing as bouquets and local girls finding themselves trapped in foreign countries under very unpleasant circumstances. I have no doubt that these stories are true. What I would like to hear about are the success stories as well.

I can see that they should work, if one is careful and uses some basic common sense. I would imagine that meeting people in bars can be a pretty dangerous enterprise. Not only are your prospects also posing, but the danger of your getting tanked up and losing your judgement is a pretty powerful likelihood. (Not to mention the dangers of the drive back home.)

Online dating has become a huge part of our culture. (Cliche, I know.) From what I have seen browsing the sites, a lot of people seem to spend a long time listed there, which suggests to me that despite the garbage involved, people are having a lot of fun "dating", for the sake of it, until the right one comes along.

I know that there are probably a million sites talking about this subject, but why don't you drop off some comments to this site too, with your experiences ?
