Do you give dating sites the thumbs up or the thumbs down?

Please tell us if you have good experiences or bad experiences with them.

They all suck. Every one of them is filled to the brim with catshishes, scammers, and fake accounts. I tried them all for like 3 years and rage quit them all. The last girl I talked to actually seemed really nice. We had a few differences, of course, but a day later she asked me for money. And that was the last straw.

[genericname85]

obviously dating sites have no interest in actually connecting you with someone you might like. they have an interest in staying on the site and spending as much money as possible.

[RealMarek]

A dating site worked for me. I had a well written, honest profile and studied up on what kinds of photographs would be most effective. I actually read the women’s profiles before matching with them instead of matching with everyone who looked good. I also didn’t get drawn into extended back-and-forth messaging. If interested in someone, after four or so messages I would ask for a date. This eliminated those who weren’t interested in me pretty quickly. I met my girlfriend within a month, so I wasn’t on the dating site for long.

I'm kinda in the middle about it.
I've honestly met more women on question and answer sites and just on facebook.
Dating apps are neat, but they're so forced and competitive that they can be challenging for me. I prefer forums or fan pages where I'm interacting with women who have a similar interest. You get to know their personalities first.
Dating apps seem like they're mostly for sex to be honest.

Honestly I give them the thumbs down. I think the original design of them could’ve been great in theory, but the reality of it is it’s nothing more than a mass dating website meaning I have had the same results as just adding randoms on my old Facebook page and having random followers on my Instagram page. With that being said, I originally met my boyfriend on Facebook.

Mass hook up website***

I can't say I've really had bad experiences with them, but I haven't had any good ones either. Often a waste of money, but I guess I was paying for the entertainment value of reading profiles.

I had first dates with maybe ten different women from dating sites over time. There are a couple I wish I had followed up on, but most were no more than an excuse to chat over a couple drinks.

[Jamie05rhs]

They suck. I get tons of matches but I'm not interested in any of them.

[sage2021]

@Jamie95rhs so why no matches? You seem to have a certain someone in mind and none of them fulfill what you are willing to spend your time on. Hopefully you will find your match, but it might not be on a dating site 😎

[sage2021]

@Jamie05rhs please read my reply 😎

[Jamie05rhs]

@sage2021 Who knows? But most of them are either from Africa or Asia. And, I mean, look, it's not that I wouldn't ever date an African girl or an Asian girl. It's just that I haven't been attracted to any of the ones that have hit on me so far.

And you think so? I hope so as well. We'll see.

[Deserter]

I have 200 matches on Tinder and still I feel like I have zero. A lot of them don't respond, unmatch, ghost you, I have no real motivation to talk to them cause the only thing I know about them is how they look so even I just stop talking to them

[sage2021]

@Jamie05rhs have you ever tried telligence. net dating site? They have intelligent people on that one. FYI 😎

[Jamie05rhs]

@sage2021 That appears to be the parent company to LiveLinks, which is a chat line.
I think they just chose that name to be more marketable to investors.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Deserter I know what you mean, dawg.

[slatyb]

I met my wife on match, cm, and a few lovely wormen before I met her.

[Wester1967]

I assume she wants to drug me and steal all my sh*t.

[Neosporin]

I am giving them a try it’s difficult sometimes to approach in public for people

[Deserter]

I'm an introvert so it makes it easier but still it's kind of a pain in the ass

[harrison102]

Tinder is very good, bumble not so much. Pof is okay but lots of fakes

[Neosporin]

Really? I like Bumble the most so far

[harrison102]

@Neosporin I didn’t meet many on bumble, it didn’t suit me for some reason. I prefer tinder

[Neosporin]

That’s true I don’t get any reactions on bumble but I like the girls there better than Badoo, OkCupid, or hinge that I’ve tried

[harrison102]

@Neosporin tried all of them dating sites, you met anyone from Pof?

[Neosporin]

I haven't tried it. I've only tried match, OKcupid, tinder, bumble, badoo, and hinge. I like bumble the most. tinder is ok too. the rest are either too expensive or too many bad choices or something else.

[harrison102]

@Neosporin I think tinder and bumble are probably most popular

[sage2021]

@ Neosporin how much do dating sites cost? My ex-boyfriend is on about 7 of them and each month the automatically deduct $79.99 every month for each one, and they do this every month then he doesn't have any money left. I still can't figure out why he needs all of those dating sites. What is he looking for on them? Just sex, a real relationship? This really hurt me when I found out. Is he just a pervert? Help me understand please. ☮️

[Neosporin]

Are you really 67? I find that hard to believe. In my experience dating sites can cost about 20-30 a month depending on your subscription type and then there are also add-on costs for special features and the sort. I can't imagine making that commitment to seven different sites let alone even one! But when you're sick of being alone and single it can drive you to do some desperate things.

[sage2021]

@Neosporin yep! I really am 67 😊☮️. Still need to know exactly what he's getting for 79.99 a month?

[Neosporin]

I'm not super sure. It could be that he has membership as well as prime-time spotlight 24/7 and an infinite amount of likes and messaging ability or something like that.

[douride2]

I would never used a dating site. I prefer to meet people in person.

[Lunatic1]

Definitely thumbs down, the few "connections" I've gotten were bots or sugar babies trying to find a daddy.

[Anonymous]

Dating sites are designed to keep people single so they continue to pay for them.

[Anonymous]

Dating sites only work for women looking for sex.

[kyleelyn199723]

Ehhh I would say dating sites only work for women that want attention.

[Opinion Owner]

@kyleelyn199723 that too.

[emperor90]

It is filled with bots
