The 425,000 subscriber (s) of Meetic will recognize themselves in the film of the same name due out soon on our screens with Clotilde Courau? What impact will he have on the image and attendance of this dating site? It will definitely be a highlight of several stories that began one day with an ad, a cat and finally the meeting. Does the scenario will be truly representative of the experiences? Or enjoy a light comedy in Indian summer? It's pretty tricky to play with feelings and experiences of thousands of people. Whatever is going on Meetic, it's always a question of investment of time, energy, and money itself.

I was on Meetic for a year, first to enter the free MeeticWorld then I had to pay like everyone to have an all in the mix. Yes, one! The return on investment was much higher at the time of free ... probably because I was less invested when I started the adventure!
I did a little tour on various blogs and forums, such as psychologies.com to get an idea of what other young women thought of this dating site. I found that harsh words were associated with this site and made reference to our present mode of consumption (we take, throw), hope and disillusionment. Some have said there is little or no fun, but are those that have a positive story to tell. That surprises me a little because I have lived or treason, or disgust. I met men rather charming, interesting, which I have not jumped on and had just wanted to break the solitude. Why?

I will forward some hypotheses to explain this difference in perceptions:
1) I had to make films about Meetic and all the guys I met in virtual or real as were actors. As Jim Carrey, will I experienced the "Meetic Show"? I doubt it, because it led me to try their luck, it was full of the testimony of friends and members who had been rather happy with the experience.
2) I was very lucky and therefore should seriously think about writing a book "How to be the best on Meetic," to respond to that for men to be found for sale on Amazon or on blogs to find out how we better win. A female version, anyone?
3) I tested version 1.0. Since late February, there is version 2.0 and more features. An update can change everything?
4) only people disappointed are expressed on blogs and want to give us their impressions. So it falls on the negative.
5) I managed to get away and not become "Meet-addicted."

This last point seems most important to avoid making films and avoid disappointment. We do not face veil, women mainly thirtysomethings go there hoping to meet someone serious and we all know full well in advance that may fall on large trucks. But chances are, I think lower on these sites in bars or boxes with a few drops of alcohol and more.
Like many women subscribers, I was initially very enthusiastic and hopeful. Our self-esteem rises with the number of visits received, then fall when we flatly addresses with a trivial "hello are you" when you do not take the trouble to read our advertisement on which we have toiled away for hours, when in past 23h Meetic turns pink with cats a little biased. Yes, there was disappointment and I have written a song, "The Mythical Cuvée". If you're interested, I published in a future post.

Hard not to fall into a compulsive behavior vis-à-vis this platform, similar to buying clothes when you are not going well. In this regard, I agree with comments that compare Meetic to a supermarket where the choice is enormous. In my ad, I mentioned "See you on the" love-shopping ", the single case where the guys concede to spend as much time with girls!". It was men laughing. We, probably less.
Finally I went through all the stages mentioned "consumption" "hope" "disappointment" but it would be simplistic to be limited to that and do not criticize that this tool, without questioning our own attitudes and expectations.

Ultimately, everything I just mentioned highlights the difficulty that has not be accepted as we are, our vital need to be loved and respected as much as we do for the other.
This site is simply connected two people but do not expect it to do all the work for us and helps us in our relationships with others.
That's why I left this site. After several failed relationships, I wondered if the problem did not come from me even if my expectations had not changed: I wanted a simple relationship, made for sharing and tenderness. In digging a little deeper, I realized that my behavior to the other sex was not so "simple", I was a woman who loved too much so I read a book great, " Women who love too , "the psychotherapist Robin Norwood much more instructive than the hours spent chatting with men. And the breakthrough came.
