Online dating — threats or blessings?

[MannMitAntworten]

When I gave it a whirl I met some interesting, ‘characters’. Whereas most women I met just seem quirky to various degrees, I also learned that some women can be awfully damn creepy. I never knew. I met a few completely normal women via the net.


Frankly I think singles site are better for making friends or for a random tryst versus meeting someone to get involved with. Though, “Meetup” groups would likely be better suited for chancing upon meeting someone worth pursing. That being said, I would call singles site a threat or a blessing. To me, it was a slower form of speed dating since you tend to cycle through a lot of people in a short period of time. I really have no idea what I would label that as...

Neither. But I'd add risk to the list of adjectives.
You never really know who's on the other side unless they accept to videoconference. Be extremely suspicious if they refuse.
Other than that, you might get catfished and find a beached whale instead of a hunk with a 6 pack. But hey, it's all good fun, right? Right?

Bleaaings - sure there r downsides but pros weight cons in my opinion, you just gotta be smart

[sheikalana]

During covid-19 I guess it's more a blessing than a threat.

Hard to tell the difference between a bot and a person

Maybe the women have other men/women they are talking to

That they don't care if i asked them about themselves or told them my viewpoint on there hobbies so they don't reply

Or they could just be a bot

Because as soon as i match with them i try to start a conversation and a lot don't even reply ever

It’s a mixed bag tbh.

I assume mad axe murder and hope for best.

while I freely admit to being crazy, some women have scared the shit out of me.

it’s also bizarre when they bring a friend and you end up getting on far better with her, then date her lol

yeah it’s weird and crazy

I haven't done anything like that in a while. It seemed to be going down hill when I was doing it. Too many bots. A lot of people advertising their online sex pages or OF. It more became a desperate for sex bulletin board. I suspect it's probably only gotten worse.

I think it gives people a distorted view about what a relationship should be like. People can browse a hundred people and still they cannot find somebody they want to date. Everyone thinks that if the first date doesn't end in sex then it was a total waste of time. I never thought too much about this because I have been married for a long time but being on this site for the last few weeks has been eye opening for me. It really makes me sad.

I'd say more threats. There is simply too many assumptions and not enough willingness to care or try. In person, I feel like it's much different

Had some luck with it. Not very much tho. I don't like to be a vague entertainment to a girl to have her ego boosted.

[Jamie05rhs]

Hopefully no one is getting threats!

by the way, your dog is cute as fuck. I want to hug him so bad.

[CreamySeed]

Im disappointed with most if the apps, you either get fake ass bot profiles or you have to swipe for fucking hours to get a match. Waste of time but necessary

[OddBeMe]

I told you I’ll stop threatening you when you do my podcast.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I think it’s kinda garbage but what do I know, I’m just... maybe a Wee Beastie

[Waldoe]

I think pretty scary for women... and I have been scared too

[Calgarydirty69]

both, it did give me the drive to talk again/walk again/cum again/get it u[p, after a traumatic brain injury (car accident in 2003

[JamieLoves]

It’s a bullshit fantasy. People do get lucky now and again. You can’t know a person without being together , smelling, touching , watching..

[Steve1071]

A waste of time. Meet people in the real world face to face.

[BirdshotJohn]

Socially destructive; I'd like them banned.

Oooh, this calling for legislation to remove things I don't like is easy, I see why people do it.

[Agem123]

Blessings

I've met a few interesting people there, even an ex.

[Avicenna]
