M, late thirties at the time. Okatyish looking.
I only ever used one website for about 2 months. I looked at profiles and initiated contact most of the time. About 90 % of conversations happend with me writing the first messsge. Chatted for a bit longer with three or four people, but that fizzeled out and never went anywhere. Then wrote with a woman that had actually written me. Got a date in person after writing rather briefly.
Dated her a couple of days later. Then again the next week and the weeks after that. Married 2 years after our first date, we had twins six months later.
The crazy thing is that she had only opened the website to delete her profile, but came along mine while doing so. She waited for 2 weeks untill i wrote back.
So, 100% of all dating website related dates have been a fuckin blast. Highly recommended.
