Why do so many people (singles)stay on the computer personals for yrs and yrs and never find anyone,

I have my theories on this, and it is SUCH a good question...

I think that people who are playing the field online are mostly people who are relationship addicts and people who avoid true intimacy...let's face it, people...how hard is it to meet someone in real life, really? If you open your eyes and your heart, if you are TRULY looking to date, there are interesting people out there EVERY SINGLE DAY who are AVAILABLE, in REAL LIFE...and totally local..I think that a lot of these people on the single's sites are maybe even married and are looking for a thrill on the side...at least a cyber thrill...which is TOTALLY lame, in my opinion. I tried internet dating for an entire MONTH...but I found I need a real connection...the best place to find people is in places where people are doing things that you enjoy...I personally love bookstores and the library...

what a cool question!

Because they write crappy profiles and don't post good pictures. Online is like anything else, if you put a good effort into it, you'll get something out of it.

Because they are avoiding reality by sheilding themselves behind the safety of a fantasy life on the internet. Before they know it, they've spent a lot of time on fantasy and missed out on real opportunites to meet someone that is actually within touching distance...
for the same reason people who dont use computer personals never find anyone either....
because people (mostly) are desperate to get in the sack, and very few care about your..... web is a dry place for love. romance -- yes. but love... probably next to impossible.
