Would you or would you not,why?
Nope. I want to be able to hug, kiss, just feel you and see you. After a while it will get a little irritating. You know?
DB- lol (you such a scorp) 
I tried it once. I met a total weirdo, the most fascinating person I've ever known, and I can't imagine I would have this person in any other way (We lived in the same city, different worlds). I still think about our conversations.
Well if it was an online dating site where you meet on-line and then meet to go for coffee, I have done it. Not the long-distance messageboard stuff where you never meet in person. I don't see the point.
I have gone on two dates through a on-line dating site. My experiences weren't bad per se but they were not with people I could take seriously as a potential partner. They were both socially awkward men and coincidently, both were in IT. One of them I liked as a person if not a mate. He was a really good guy but just so socially awkward. We just weren't at the same level socially or intellectually. We email occasionally. I actually looking for a girl for him cause I think he is a really wonderful man for the right girl. I am just not her.
Most of my friends have done on-line dating. Some of them have even married someone they met on-line. I am still skeptical though as you have to wade through so much crap to find anyone who fits you and who you could even give a chance to. It is a lot of work! I live in a large city so it wasn't uncommon to get 60 messages in a week. You have to read through the profile ... which is exactly the same as the guy before ...
"I enjoy going out to a pub or having a drink on a patio. In my spare time I enjoy camping, cycling, and rollerblading." "I can go from jeans and a tee to a tie and a tux." "I love walks on the beach." Pluease!!! It is even worse when they try to funny.
The girl profiles are just as bad by the way. "I could be the one you are looking for!" "I love to cook especially my mom's secret spaghetti sauce." Cringworthy really.
Then you have to read through the messages ... and reply ... just too much work. (sorry for the vent)
It does work for some people. I have seen it work. I just am not the right demographic for it to work for me.

This is why i posed the question, my associate is trying this with a guy locally. Their conversation over the phone,emailing etc was great for about 3 months, but when she met him in person she didnt like his body language, i think its wasted time when she could have seen this upfront but then again Brahn makes a good point

Another opinion??
Well, I've tried it with differing amounts of success. The reason is that I spend most of my time at my computer anyway for work, I don't get out a lot, and I don't hang in clubs, bars etc.
It's not my favorite way to meet people. Manners can be neglected when you aren't meeting someone face to face. On the other hand, people that have manners when you meet them on the dating sites will have manners in person too!!
I only bother with guys that are local, and I try to meet them for coffee pretty quick so we can get an idea if there is mutual interest. It seems safe to me... Unless I've been emailing etc for a while I will just arrange a meeting over email and don't even give out my last name or phone number until after I meet (in a coffee shop) and feel more comfortable.
Bottom line?? Why not... People are people and I've actually found most of the guys I've met that way to be upfront and honest. I usually get a feeling for people quickly even on-line and have been accurate so far. No big sparks yet though!

I agree with you, you have to meet them in person. You can't test chemistry on a website. You can only tell in person.

I just got off the phone with my ex-virgo of almost 8 years ago and he told me he was seperated. He got married about 4 years ago and told me he made a mistake. He said that his wife had it good but did not know how to appreciate it.

Hey- everyone,
You can go into your user profile, and turn the "profanity filter" off and we can all swear and talk dirty like true adults! For instance, if you have your filter off you will feel the true effect of the following statements:

What does it take to get any point across to you folks...in the sense that you are able to comprehend, acknowledge, accept and be conscientious of another person's point of view? Also, I know some Aries don't bother with the whole "let's talk" thing to r
