Once the newbie dater receives all that fan mail, they tend to get pretty excited about the possibilities. Some especially attractive individuals can get over 4000 responses in a month. {{HOT}}} pics have their application. Not surprisingly, only women tend to get this level of response. Rarely does this happen to men; unless of course they are on Myspace and in the 16-20 year old range. Raging hormones have their applications.

Mega sites seem like Shangrala at first. Newbies often have with adolescent expectations in this virtual land of milk and honey. Their quest is to find that mystical connection "Soulmate". You know the lover who can complete their sentence and gets all their jokes. Why not?...this is suppose to be the land of infinite possibilities. This euphoria can last..well at least 6 months. Then the newbie begins to realize that there are typically four kinds of daters. Horn toads --always on a mission for a new conquest. Dreamers-- earnestly seeking their Prince/Princess. Lonely hearts --expecting to make an instant connection to fill that gaping hole in their soul. The Betrayed-- with a huge chip on their shoulder--determined to make you pay for the sins of "lovers past".

Of course, there are normal well-adjusted people out there too. However, most savvy online daters will tell you that it requires the mentality of an old prospector to cheerfully play and stay in the game. Sift with care, because mostly what you find early on is fool's gold.

Check back a year later and you will find a very different mind set once the newbie realizes that while the Net allows you to date at warp speed--quality varies. Online dating is truly a supersized box of chocolates. The intensity of meeting so many jerks/jerkettes in a very short period of time can be overwhelming. But...hope springs eternal.
