    I tried an online dating app for meeting Japanese women, most of them were fake and the ones that weren't fake were complete gold diggers. I've decided to stay away from those types of sites and maybe just use Tinder. However, the selection from Tinder sucks and most of the women are undesirable.

    I am an introvert and very shy so I am very thankful for online dating. My first online dating experience was Craigslist! I wrote a post, i was 22 at the time. I had a ton of replies. I could not reply to all of them, too many. I did meet up with two guys.
    Unfortunately I didn't end up with either of them, but one became friends with on Facebook.

    I did the friends of friends on Facebook and a guy wrote to me. We ended up together.

    Here I'll make it short, If your like me average or deemed "ugly" do not attempt online dating there's nothing but rejection and just being ignored, if you got looks like a god or just handsome or beautiful, Fucking have fun you lucky fucking special little snowflakes

    Good mytake on this, it definitely caters to women with online dating, you’ll never hear a guy get that many responses no matter how good he looks, I think there are a lot less women on there than men from my experience and age has a lot to do with it

    It's a waste of time to text etc. before meeting. You can text for days and then meet and there's no chemistry. Or the person isn't who they claimed to be. So if there's mutual interest just got meet for coffee or lunch.

    The only thing you need to know is it's a complete waste of time and don't even bother. Very few, if any, take it seriously in any way. And especially for guys. So many fake profiles and spammers. Just not worth it. A good way to ruin any self esteem you might have, that's about all that will come from it.

    Number 4 on the psycho list is going to ruin a lot of good guys. Most of the time guys are asking all about you because they live boring work filled lives, they aren't psychos they're just uninteresting. (And being uninteresting is how they earn enough money to offer something to a woman)

    I disagree with 90%, what others said about the men having to put in the most effort to the point of potential exhaustion (profile picture, attractiveness, etc.) is more correct and even in my experience just trying out a few different sites. There /is/ a difference between men and women here.

    I think this is spot on. I’ve ran to everyone one of those psycho categories and they do turn out to be bad news. I’m just starting to talk to a guy that is in the good category now and so far no red flags ☺️

    I have recently started online dating and it took me a week or two to find someone I really clicked with! But, I loved that there were so many options! you could email, chat then meet up! I would recommend Plenty of fish to anyone! :)

    Some people do want to meet up fairly soon rather than chatting online for a while, not knowing when/if they are going to meet and waste their time. Saying that, in not one of those people.

      @Starshine85 I agree with this and have been caught in the continuous 'text spiral' too many times. In retrospect I would have asked the woman for a date sooner. At the time I didn't want to come off as too forward or pushy by asking her out too soon.
      So I guess there is a sweet spot in there somewhere. I do it by feel these days, and I'd likely get the same results using my old dartboard.

      Agree as well. First woman i met online sent me 3 messages on the 3rd message she asked to meet me. I was caught off guard by the fact that she was that quick about it. She apparently was just an aggressive woman ( i mean she messaged me, she asked to meet me) but she was completely normal.

    I never did computer dating before and don't plan on it. I like human interaction and face to face communication.

    Where are the signs that a woman is a time-wasting, gold-digging bitch or a psychotic drain on your soul?

    One more important thing. If no one of your desired sex likes you in your local area, you won't do well online either. Experience says that.

    I'd disagree with meeting ASAP. l making you a psycho.
    Maybe I don't want to waste a ton of time chatting online as 10minutes face to face is worth a thousand online hours

      maybe women have a right to be cautious. and what even is 10 minutes face to face? if i'm making the effort to meet someone then i expect to be with then for at least an hour.

      Meeting in public bars / areas.
      And 10min un face time is a figure of speech

      Sorry but no... no... just no. I wouldn't meet a guy asap. I would first want to see how he is as a person and if maybe within a week he seemed like a cool dude then I'd hang out in a public place. But on the first or even second day is a no no. Women have to be safe. Trust me one day when u have a daughter ud probably want her to be cautious as well. Especially because by the time you have a daughter online dating will probably will be an even bigger thing

      @Miss_Savanna_Dry yeah it's funny how women's safety only matters when it's a daughter, sister or wife. but other men are allowed to expect them to not be cautious? OK.

      Not sure why you all think a meeting in a public bar is dangerous. And psychos prefer to talk online, easier for them to hide.

    What you should know before you try it... just don't. Nothing but sex hungry loser guys and validators. And I'm fairly sure some just forget they're on there and haven't bothered to close their account.
