Socrates Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 [quote name='johnnydigit' post='1267818' date='May 7 2007, 11:39 PM']YOU KNOW, to my amazement i've recently heard of some amazing hook up stories on catholicmatch.com. as odd as it seems, i was like, wow i guess you *can* meet a really nice person on the internet afterall..[/quote] Been there, done that. I feel pathetic saying this, but I've been on that site and avemariasingles.com for several years. I don't think I'm gonna renew my subscription this time. It may work for some people, but remember, what you see on there is advertising - for every "success story" there are probably countless failures and horror stories. I eventually got fed up with the continual wishy-washiness and at times out-and-out dishonesty of the "good Catholic women" on those sites. It is easy to get false impressions of people from online corrspondence, only to have the actual meeting be a disaster. And once I had to cancel a cross-country flight because the girl called the meeting off at the last minute. And many are more interested in playing games and flirting than to committing to anything. I've also lived in a pretty solid Catholic community/parish, and tried taking part in activities - but most "good Catholic" single women are just as shallow and petty as anyone else, no matter how actively religious and "holy" they may fancy themseleves to be. Yeah, I'm bitter and disillusioned - but just thought I'd give an overview of my experience for what it's worth, before someone else gets sucked in by the holy hucksters running those sites.

Jaime Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yes its much easier to get bitter and disillusioned with the shallow and petty Catholic girls out there than take a hard look at what shortcomings you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it the way it is ... a place focused on learning about the Catholic faith and hanging out. If love happens along the way, so be it, but I wouldn't want this to become a singles site.
