| I started using CL more lately since most of the women I try to contact on regular dating sites are never online, don't reply, or have too narrow an age preference set. I got bold and tried posting ads for an aspie or a woman on physical or mental disability. Or putting catchy titles like "seeking c... |

| I read somewhere CL personal replies were about 84% spam. I use it too in addition to dating sites, but my replies are more like 99.8% spam.... Maybe 1 out of 500 replies is real. I've tried looking in the women seeking men section too but very few women post in there --- about one ad far every ten ... |

| Definite no-no for me. Smokers are the first thing I eliminate on dating sites. Don't want to be breathing or smelling that. Kissing a smoker leaves a terrible after taste too if you don't smoke. |

| Yep, met the love of my life on POF. To be fair, it was probably a fluke, since there wasn't anyone else on there whose profile inspired me to contact him. Still isn't, in fact - I went back on there last week for the first time in almost two years, and it's the same people. Exactly the same people... |

| datehookup.com is another good one that doesn't get mentioned much here. It has active forums including a disability forum (seen some aspies in there too). It's all free and basic and advanced searches work similar to POF. |

| I use it but never got a date off of it yet. Seems like all the women on that site in my area make religion a condition for any partner and I'm not religious. I had much better luck with POF and datehookup. DH has a lot of forums too (even a disability forum) I even managed a date with a BBW from a ... |

| I met about ten that way ---- mostly from POF and datehookup. I post actrivities I like in my profile (walking, photography, hand holding, etc. ) and if I find someone with similar interests, I mention that in the first message. Also I look at those who viewed me. If any of them have something in co... |

| I'm not very tech savy so maybe my suggestion isn't possible but...... this list seems like a great idea for people to meet up with someone from the group. The only problem is, it's 225 pages long! Quite a few pages of info to get through if you're looking for a match. Is there any possibility of c... |

| The problem isn't the websites so much, it would take years to get the site up and running with a member base big enough to find what you're looking for. Even aspie affection, advertised as the most common dating site for asperger's, there's still hardly anyone in my area or age range. :? We just d... |

Caveat emptor .) That first one charges money to contact anyone. Not sure about about the last one. Au... |

| Not really sure what to say to bump this topic up. From what I have read in this forums, there are a plenty who wanna find partners or at least friends. But I would need something to make this popular. It's always hard to start up a new site and takes a while to build up enough members to make it u... |

| Here are two groups I use on facebook for dating and advice. One is open (anyone can read the posts) and the second one is new but is closed - so only members can read posts. You can join the open group and just browse or send a private message to anyone you might be interested in if you are afraid ... |

I'm one of the few guys here that find larger women attractive.  I've dated several over 300 lbs. I just want one that can still walk OK so I would prefer one not that big. I don't care about fertility issues because I don't want kids and prefer a woman that doesn't have any. |

It does, but isn't very active. A much better site for forums is datehookup.com which is very similar to POF, also free. The forums has a disabled dating section too. |

| All dating sites are pretty much anonymous for the user so you could look at any site to see the set-up. You may have to contact someone that developed one for info. One woman that might be able to help you with that created a dating site for BBWs from her facebook page and I could find out how to c... |

| That is something I would be in favor of too. I've been using dating sites for the past 3 years and am still very much looking for a nice woman over 35 or 40. That free autisticdating site I was able to do searches on it without even joining. But there were only about 20 or 30 women on it in the who... |
