You are not missing out on something "great". I suspect these sites are put up, just the same way dating sites like adult friend finder (which from what I can gather is a glorified sex exchange, although not having personal experience of it, I cannot especially comment) to attract the type of people who ARE insecure already. Dating sites, sex partner sites etc all advertise to other desperate people (sorry if anyone reading this is a member and finds it offensive, but c'mon its not hard to find a woman the normal way).

These other sites you mention may be great for showing off while you're in Uni or College so theres the appeal. If both parties like computers, technology etc, or use it work it could be great to say "hey, check my myspace" etc Just the same way that text messaging can be a great way to turn your partner on with sexy texts throughout the day (hey it works for me)

But from what I can tell, you hit the nail on the head - they're not designed for you or I, and let them get on with it. Each to their own!

Hell, we're typing messages on a forum which is seen as "sad" or "nerdy" to the less well informed.
