I always said I would never use a dating service and actually made fun of my friends for doing so. I was the one in the group who would always chat to the women and have a good laugh and joke with them, I never took it seriously because I wasn't looking. I got dumped, got in a rut and gave the dating service a go myself because I lost all confidence in using my social skills to communicate with women and generally thought there was no point, because I would not find a nice woman again.
I did meet someone who was very nice and it made me realise how bad the previous one had been. I think the odds are stacked very high against finding a nice person because of the sort of people those places generally attract.
Despite meeting someone nice, I would not reccomend dating sites. I was amazed at how many shallow women are around those places, a pub/club is a much better place. I just had to smile and look like I was enjoying myself even though I was not very happy inside, this made women talk to me and have a laugh. It boosted my confidence again but I guess it doesn't work for everyone.
