Yes. That is to say, that they are a service. They're not going to do it all for you. But the problem isn't really the service. Most women on dating sites simply do NOT want to date. That is to say, they're holding out for that unicorn that doesn't exist. It's the illusion of too many options that apps give women. There's a reason they're on a dating app to begin with. No guy can tolerate them IRL.

There is nothing wrong with dating apps so long as men give them the attention they deserve. Your odds of attracting women IRL is probably about 1 in 10. We like to think with a bigger if there's a bigger pool it increases the odds. But it doesn't work that way. Online you should expect your odds to be about 1 in 100. Now common sense makes it clear with those odds you shouldn't even be putting forth ANY effort. It's WASTED effort. Just post your profile. Tell them whatever story you want them to believe. I recommend not putting ANYTHING down on your bio. Honestly, the more you say with women on dating apps the more likely you are to hurt your chances. 90% of your power is in you pics. Make sure you post good pics. Then the LESS you do with your profile the better. I recommend looking at a lot of women's profiles. But don't message ANY of them. This gives women the impression that you looked at their profile and were turned of by it. The more you degrade a woman's self esteem the better your odds. I recommend not messaging ANY women on dating apps. Make them come to you. Men need to send the clear message to women on dating apps that she's been rejected by everyone IRL and this is her last option (she already feels that way, don't kid yourself. So you need to reinforce that). So when she messages you now you're in the power position. Never give her too much give her just enough to keep her interested. Don't worry about losing her. There are literally thousands of desperate women online. If you lose here there'll be another along I promise you.

I have used online dating sites since 2007 and had great results. I had a relationship with a nice Ukrainian woman who had been a pediatrician, a first grade teacher, a medical officer manager, a retired judge, and a few others who I dated for at least several months. I am currently engaged to a woman I met on zoosk. com and we will be married on April 27 next year. Perhaps some of them are scams but I am proof that they are not all scams.

The main goal of dating apps is to make money, not to find you a partner. And most people on there are either just looking for fun. So adjust expectations accordingly when using them

I knew a guy that worked for OK Cupid, and he told me it was mostly a scam, with fake profiles and computer generated messages to keep users interested.

[DarkWinterNights]

Of course not. If you found someone and stopped dating they would lose a user. I have a recently divorce friend who got on a couple apps and was super excited the first week with all the matches he was getting. Within two weeks that excitement turned into depression, annoyance and pessimism. He discovered they were basically all bots, catfish and scammers. He met his wife on one about 10 years ago so he thought people complaining were just not doing online dating right. Now he understands the frustration. Do not do dating apps.

Dating apps live off of people being on it and paying for their services. It's not in their interest that you find someone, because if you do, you leave the app and will never pay again.

But they also, occasionally, have to give some results to a handful of people, who will then tell other people about their success. And the rest, the vast majority, won't get anything but they've heard about the other people success so they'll stay on the app and pay, in hope they'll be next, which they won't.

That's also why those app doesn't really fight fake profiles, because it gives the impression of a bigger user base, and therefore will attract more people.

Remember, their business is single people. They don't earn anything with people who already have someone.

Some are, some are just look at me I'm so pretty, you can be with me but it will cost yiu...
The better sites are the pay to join sites if you are serious about being in a relationship, not just someone to doink and move on.
Like eharmony, it's just lunch.
Like the old adage, you get what you pay for.

[rigmarole]

I think dating sites are trying to make money. They really only have two avenues to approach that. Either they are pushing a subscription model or they are collecting data about interactions between people and selling it to interested parties.

[Ms_Facesitter]

yes, but the way it's designed it's to find you a BED mate.

[exitseven]

No they are like most businesses. They are just trying to make a buck

[82lynx]

LOL no. I have too much self-respect to sink that low. Besides, I’m not jonesing to get laid.

[FenixG45]

I don't believe dating apps/websites are all legit and trying to find my soul mate. But some are better than others. In the past, I have met GFs on them.

[Heolurt]

Dating apps are a cash grab for ugly guys like me to the slightly below average guys because women want the hottest guys only.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not, it's just a way to keep the plebs from overtaking the ruling class

[virtue2332]
