That's right - I forgot that you two met on Match.
How the hell did you beat out all the scavengers to make that fabulous woman your own??
You have met me and you can't tell?

A friend of mine (young, drop dead gorgeous, ex nfl cheerleader, educated and an all around dream chick) met her equally lovely husband online. I was kind of shocked because I thought it was sort of a last ditch effort for some people..but a lot of people have their own reasons..it only took a few months for them to be matched and meet.

Have you had better luck on the forums and through networking via the forums?

That a vast majority of single people are unattractive, socially awkward, afraid of rejection and/or just plain too shy to go out and do a cold introduction with very much success. If you don't have any of these dysfunctions, sites like match.com probably won't hold much value or interest to you.
It's much easier and more approachable to simply have a collection of people who are available and looking listed in a database, where you can just pick one and see what happens without much fear of making an ass of yourself or being humiliated in public.
I've never used a dating site, but I did meet one girl in an IRC chatroom that I found interesting and we met in real life.
Never tried that again.
Two weeks later I met The One. So, it worked out.
I meet my husband at the St. Mary's County Oyster Festival. But since he's a forumite, and the person who introduced us was a forumite, I guess technically we met through a website, SoMd.com. Though I don't remember reading any of his posts or knowing his screen name before meeting him. :shrug:
On further thought, I rarely see his posts or screen name even knowing who he is.
Similar story here. Met a SOMD forumite at an SOMD forumite gathering. I also didn't remember seeing his posts before meeting him and he posts infrequently, so I don't see him on here much either!
I will say though, that I never tried the online dating sites, and never cared to. I prefer to meet people IRL and don't like match ups, but rather meeting in groups, gatherings, get togethers, parties, etc. It's more natural that way, IMO.

The matchmakers that be have done well.

I have a standing rule to not date other forum members. Too close an environment if things go south, too many people know too many people that don't need to know my personal business. I can remember a few forum break ups a few years back.... not pretty at all.

I've developed good friendships on the forums but no long lasting romance.

Same here.
I am, however, available for one-night stands, short-lived torrid affairs, and no-strings attached FWB scenarios.
