    I met my last relationship online and it sucked. I don't think online dating is for me. I think I'm one of the few people who will just have to have a random chance encounter with a man.

    Honestly guys,

    You need good pictures and a good profile.

    And wait, never message a girl, never like or whatever, you can visit.

    But you just have to wait until a girl messages you, because the second you message one... you are another guy and will be ignored.

    I totally agree especially on the point of "Aggressive and Mean Messages"!
    I got them a few times after saying sorry I think we don't match...
    I didn't say anything bad or mean.
    This is so rude and hurtful!!!

      Some people are so mean :(
      I had guys messaging me with ratings, like "you're a 5/10 at best" for no reason at all.
      Sadly enough, I think some people get enjoyment out of being mean to others.
      However, it helps to know that there are nice people out there :)

      Rating someone without being asked is just rude and very impolite. Why do they even do that? I mean, if I don't like the person, I don't even bother saying something along these lines. Anyway, they just cut their own karma. And yeah, this behavior helps to ditch out the losers :P

    Women complain about messages like "Hey, what's up" and that men don't take the time to read their profiles? Seriously, most women make these mistakes with men as well. But for them it is ok.

      For the hundredth time, I am not complaining. I am simply giving my perspective and I am aware that men have some of these issues as well. Men obviously cannot take a bit of constructive criticism well.

    "In a real life situation, you wouldn't ask a girl out 3 or 4 times after being rejected, would you? "

    Let's see how you rejected him. Post the message.

    This one guy messaged me and said my main pic was stupid and slutty. I was just making a silly face and wasn't showing anything off. Like why? Some can be pretty mean.

    Online dating is a scam.

    I've tried it and I only got answers from divorced middle-aged ex-wives, ghetto hoodrats, and fat ones.

      Definitely. People naturally embellish details about themselves, but some people take it to the extreme. It very difficult to disern the genuine from the fakers.

      Its so easy to ignore most of that. But regardless, you women have it made when it comes to that because you can pick and choose. Us guys have to work for that shit unless we look like Zac Effron or some toolbag model. Thats why i just dont do it. I get better quality women in the real world versus girls who want attention on those sites.

      Yeah but then you just ignore the guys who actually try as well. Like for me, I ask if they like something that I like and I also ask them a question about their profile that stands out to me. And then I put at the end,

      "Hey, if you don't find me interesting, then just respond back with a "I'm not interested" or something. "

      And they just ignore it anyway. Pretty messed up. So that's why I think you're just complaining. People actually try to go for you. The average looking guys, like myself, have to send messages and never get them.

      You are missing the whole point of my article. As I said, I met my boyfriend through online dating and did go on dates with a lot of nice guys. They were all average looking guys. I just want guys to understand the BS women have to contend with. I am not saying guys have it easy; I NEVER said that or implied it.

      Again, if you have an opinion, you should write a myTake.

      What's worse? getting rude attention or being ignored as if you don't exist? To me, those don't seem like very hard problems.

      "Men assume women have it made when it comes to online dating and that we have the pick of the litter. Simple, right? No. The truth is online dating can be a nightmare for women."

      Lemme fix that.

      "Men know women have it made when it comes to online dating. They do have the pick of the litter, and all they gotta do is ignore dick pics, constant messaging of perverts, (which can be controlled through privacy settings anyways, but they keep it on public because they want attention) AND they ENJOY BEING LOOKED AT. Its not a nightmare at all, its fun to women. Its a pain in the dick with guys, not fun at all, and too much to deal with for what its worth..

      Sorry. Im just late night ranting. I gotta go to bed.

      The reason women write a lot of these mytakes is that they KNOW its easy for them, but they want us guys to know that they do have to put in effort. Which is just to ignore the ugly guys and date the best looking one. So your not fooling me! It isn't much effort at all. We gotta do much more. MUCH more.

      Meh, I'm saying that all what she said is a plus, not a mandatory religious thing to follow. I used to do and still do basically all this "How to score on Dating Apps" articles say just out of common sense, and guess what? Never had a single date in months.
      Those things are what keep the conversation alive, but to get the first response, especially if you are a man (women get much more attentions on Dating systems) is to be very much hotter than average. That's all.
