Ya, it doesn't require a lot of effort but there's just too many low quality girls. Say 50% are attractive, 20% are looking for a relationship, and 30% of those aren't sluts/addicts/poly/radical feminists/etc, you end up with a very generous 0.5×0.2×0.3= 3% potential options assuming no overlaps (although there likely is).
Add on the girl also being willing to date you and the odds drastically shoot down. To even get a third of that 3% you probably have to be a 1/50 top guy. Assuming you're average looking you might only match with one desirable girl every thousand swipes (which I find yo be pretty much the case).
Obviously you will have it somewhat easier if you're just looking for sex or dont mind fat girls or crazies.
But in general the quality is pretty low online and the decent ones get to be insanely picky. An average girl can easily expect top 5% men to be interested.
What the heck! I can't believe the one I voted C got the lowest percentage. I only got messages from 2 ladies out of the several years I was on it. One got so angry that she replied just from what I said in my profile, all it was, was pretty much biblical quotes. The other was extremely not my type, zero attraction.
I dont recall saying I didn't contact or try to contact them. More like I said to another, were either fake profiles, old profiles or I simply wasn't attracted. I just dont really care at this point. Oh there was one more that admins must have thought were fake, but ended up being real, they deleted her profile in the middle of our conversation. Go figure
I meant to say "most" were fake or old profiles. That was POF. com, OKcupid... now that site was worse with the questionnaires. I was almost completely incompatible with every woman on the site. All I answered was being "against abortions, homosexuality" and stuff like that, lol.
I prefer to meet people in reality. I had a dating profile at some point which ended in 100 or so messages after a short time. Online I just can't immediately see if someone is suitable for me or not, it's too much work.
Nope, it's not for me. However I've set up an online dating profile for my dad on Silver Singles and Match. He's gone on two dates with two separate women, the first woman was someone he took a liking to, but it lasted only 3 months for him.
I used to do well with a handful of different sites and craigslist back before the personals was shut down. For today I hear Bumble is one of the best.
Never and never will any man that used online dating is a desperate fool the gender ratio is 9to1 the odds for men are so bad the stats prove you have to be so pathetic and desperate as a man. You are just giving women free attention and validation and that is the last thing modern women need more. Men who go on dating apps have no self respect. Men need to starve these women of attention men need to have abundance mindset only then will things change for better for men
I never used it, by the time internet dating was a big thing I was already with my wife. Now if things turned sour, and we went our separate ways, I might actually think about online dating as an option.
@Jerseyg2020 I'm not looking for anything right now (obviously). But if I really had to think it through, and go out on a limb, it'd be someone who's family and goal-oriented. As for a dating site, I don't know I hardly know any of them off the top of my head.
Yes I have, and I found my boyfriend on there (5 years together). But if I would be single again, I wouldn’t go for online dating again. Too many perverts are on there - more than back then.
I've not tried online dating and never really had an interest, although I like the idea better as we grow older since I think more people might be serious. In my case, I often lived in very dense urban areas, so there's like a horde of women right outside, and I prefer to meet them in person first if I could before shifting gears to the dating side of things.
I have never used online dating, but my friends try to convince me to use it. I generally can’t be bothered as I’m not actively looking for a relationship
Its quite good at meeting people , but a lot are just wanting sex. I have met some lasses who are just lonely and just want to chat , these I can get on with, but they are friends. Exactly what im after not so much the sex...
When I tried dating sites, I found that if the female looked better than a wildebeest the profile was a fake that had been created by scammers in Ghana or Nigeria. The profiles that were genuine and belonged to women who were within a day’s journey of my cave, were of women who were morbidly obese and insane. Add to that about 200 messages per week from scammers in Ghana and Nigeria, who demonstrated an IQ of about 70 and thought that I was on a similar level of retardation.
I've used online dating twice. Once when I got with my ex about 4 years ago and then 2 years later when I got with my current about a year ago. In all honesty, I don't have a lot of opportunities to meet potential partners in real life so online dating works.
Yes! "I have used online dating in the past and had some dates or initial meetings as a result; not currently using it" because I'm taking a break on online dating. I've had three relationships off online dating and I've been on 30+ dates.

You were waiting for them to contact you?

It's been so tough to approach women in person after men gender being so pitiful.
Nope, it's not for me. However I've set up an online dating profile for my dad on Silver Singles and Match. He's gone on two dates with two separate women, the first woman was someone he took a liking to, but it lasted only 3 months for him.
I never used online dating and I am not going to use it in the future because I'm happily taken.
And he must be a very happy guy!

Bumble is indeed one of the best. Got me the most and best dates.

What are you looking for in a woman and which dating site will you like to try?
@Jerseyg2020 I'm not looking for anything right now (obviously). But if I really had to think it through, and go out on a limb, it'd be someone who's family and goal-oriented. As for a dating site, I don't know I hardly know any of them off the top of my head.

I have used it (unintentionally, long story) and I’ve met someone that’s perfect for me and I’m happy
Relationship with guys I met in person hasn’t been working out and I’ve decided to try online dating and hopefully I hook up with a good lover
I have never used online dating, but my friends try to convince me to use it. I generally can’t be bothered as I’m not actively looking for a relationship

Am in an open relationship, not using Tinder simply because my phone is currently being repaired. I enjoy Tinder a ton.
I still use and once in awhile I get a message but very few meetings, only ones that are ok with least amount of fakes, like OkCupid and bumble
Yes! "I have used online dating in the past and had some dates or initial meetings as a result; not currently using it" because I'm taking a break on online dating. I've had three relationships off online dating and I've been on 30+ dates.
I have never used it & don't plan on it in the future.
