I've met some people off this site and sites like it. My perspective is me, a guy, meeting females off this board.
The problem with this forum is that most of the girls are fake. And before we go off on that argument, yes, it is true, but they are never the ones you actually see posting on the forum as regulars. I've never seen a forum with the problem to this extent. Plus, any girl who actually does put herself out here will get bombarded with 30 messages and that's not exactly flattering. Of course, most the guys come off as creeps too.
There really is nothing wrong with meeting up with someone for this kind of stuff. The internet is full of just as many people wanting to kidnap and murder you as there are in the real world, which is very very very few. Anyone with half a brain knows that if something horrible really did happen, you can go to the police and this is a good deterrent against doing anything shady. Let's be honest, these stories on this forum that are "true stories" where such horrible things happen are clearly bullshit and why people believe it is beyond me.
If you REALLY want to meet someone for this stuff, join Fetlife.com. The community is massive, the gatherings and play parties are public, and there are way more people on there than on sites like this. The only problem being you have to come out from behind your computer screen
