Is it normal to find dating sites weird.

I found this dating app for my iPod called skout. It was free so I thought what the hell and downloaded it.

It brings up loads of profiles from singles near to you. As I was looking through them when I got this really awkward feeling that something was wrong.

I have never really had self confidence and as a result girls aren't interested in me. In fact I haven't ever been on a date before. But it wasn't that that made me feel bad when I was on this app.

It was the fact that I was judging people. It was as if I was in the app store skimming through the information and pictures to find one that I liked. but these aren't apps they are people and I had been judging them based on a few lines personal info and a profile picture. It didn't make me feel all that good about myself really. I don't know why I felt like this but it it's a feeling I can't seem to get rid of.

Is that just me or does anybody else feel like that? Is it normal to feel that way?

    Do you think girls don't judge looks too?
    And offline people judge people all the time as well so there's nothing weird about an app making it more convenient.

      Don't waste your time. Our economy and politics suck. England is better.

    Then don't date online. Find someone offline. Offline, you be able to get to know their qualities a bit more without only focusing on their picture. It would also allow you to date a "real" person. Online, there's a risk that the person isn't who they claim to be.

      I wasn't seriously planning on dating someone through my ipod but the app was free and I was curious about what it was all about.

    Yes, it's a situation where people are almost portrayed and judged as commodities. It would make me very uncomfortable as well. I don't even like the term "human resources" for the same reasons.
