Ya lol, 3 years of marriage, with a little over a year of courtship. Still could be considered newlyweds by some standards.Made me chuckle because, well, your wedding could have been yesterday!

I met my now wife on a dating app. Met in 2016, married in 2019.
While public opinion has changed, unfortunately Internet dating has too. Quite the **** show.
brother, you have the internet.... billions of people interconnected... you can find the right person for you!
hoping on an airplane to visit someone you've been chatting with/texting?
VAXXED WAXXED READY TO SMASH
get that willy wet and get that emotional linked you've been looking for.
It's everything. The crazies are good at pretending to be awesome long enough to hook you.
I can always tell that relationships are unbreakable when couples refer to each other as king and queen.
Sorry what?Interesting background on internet dating right out of college. System architect, programmer, operations of the 2nd computerized dating system in the U.S. (pre-internet). Still stand by the basic algorithm as the best matching algorithm. Even today. It was so good, it ran the company out of business (ie match em and they're no longer a client-couldn't find single people fast enough to maintain business model). If I was a decade later, there'd be no match.com. Seriously. And I'd have an athletics facility named after me

In English please
I think he said that he was in on an early computer dating algorithm but the timing wasn't right for it to be big.
Either that or his dry cleaning got lost at the cleaners.
I've been off for a couple years, but it just felt like a lot of games. Women were incredibly superficial (don't doubt men are too). Dating sites putting up fake profiles to keep you interested. Almost never failed I would start receiving messages at about the time my subscription was about to end when I hadn't been active on my account.
So the thread about a woman being murdered by her fiancé has now turned into a conversation about dating sites? Ah CF you never fail to disappoint.
I think this was a programmers attempt at a pick up line? But I'm not entirely sure.
Yeh. Probably got sucked up in bannedmans internet dating post.
Yeah I was feeling a little bit weird about it myself as well. I started a thread a while back asking for online dating advice I was just too lazy to dig around and find it and suggest we go there instead of in a thread about a poor unfortunate dead woman.
Met my wife that way, 15 years ago. It allows you to determine what exactly you're looking for, and sort through the personalities before even meeting in person. I was your age then, and at that age, you pretty much know what you're looking for, and what you won't put up with.
Married at 40 as well. Dated a LOT of crazy over my years but refused to settle. Holy **** I'm blessed to have avoided some of those landmines. Overall, every one of those experiences taught me something about myself and what I wanted. Eventually I met the one.
The GREATEST value of internet dating for me was simply the experience. It was good practice. Set low expectations (the gift that keeps on giving) and have fun with it. Many of the relationships will flame out but hopefully you learn something about yourself or at least what you don't want in an SO. If you find one learning from it then I would say it's valuable.
