Why I Disagree With Online Dating (Page 2)

[Browneye57]

Yup. Nailed it.

Worse, the vast majority of women on there are simply looking for validation, attention, with no intention of actually dating or meeting up with anyone. They'll even post in their profile, "Don't waste my time."
And the majority of guys are looking for a hookup. Anyone that is DTF.

Online dating is for people than simply cannot connect and form meaningful relationships with the people they meet and come into contact with in their daily life. In other words, the losers.

[Xenia667]

I respect your opinion but I disagree with some of those. It depends on the people involved and their dedication. If plans are made and followed through on, along with communication, video chats, visits... etc it can definitely work out.

[myTake Owner]

Maybe

Whilst I understand where you're coming from, I would like to say that online dating is a thing today, but it isn't new.

Many people from past generations ended up marrying someone they had only met through letters, someone they had been introduced to by a friend of a friend and never met in real life.
It's a bit different from just directly asking someone to dance and I don't quite understand what would compell people to do so, but clearly they would not have done so if they were happy with people they were meeting in real life or enjoying a good time with their family and friends.

I could make a lot of other comparisons, like people who take a chance and travel the world to find a job, but it would get out of topic.
As cheesy as it may sound, at the end of the day people just wanna find love.

You left out those of us who aren't freaking teenagers without life responsibilities. Not all of us have a lot of free time to run around the mall or get shitfaced drunk at the bar while looking for "quality" women. Some of us work 12-16 hour days and have stuff going on or live in tiny little towns where there aren't a lot of single dating options in the first place. The world is a huge place. It seems a shame to dismiss spending time with someone from elsewhere as "desperate" or a loser move.

[myTake Owner]

You can calm down a bit, you are obviously using online dating yourself and got triggered with this Take...
However it's just an opinion of a teenage girl online.
You can fontinue your life now.

[Opinion Owner]

I know the world revolves around you, and all that. I was simply trying to point out that some people in the real world have zero time or other issues preventing them from being able to "go out and meet someone irl." and that hardly makes them "desperate losers" as you so eloquently put it. You're entitled to your opinions just as I'm entitled to my facts.

[myTake Owner]

I never said that the world resolves around me neither believed it.
I'm also not entitled to my opinion, I'm here and open to accept something different as long as it comes with good arguments.
But, I just thought that your opinion belongs to someone that is a little too triggered with the whole idea that's why i decided to comment what I commented.

[Pejtu]

i dissagree with you
online dating is fun at least for me
thats how i found my girlfriend #tinder

[myTake Owner]

Okay then we agree to disagree

[shephardjhon]

you forgot that for some people, it is MUCH harder on their self-esteem. eg short men. I guess women of ALL types get at least some attention and are't targeted by bots. They do face other problems probably but not this one.

[myTake Owner]

Well I disagree that someone will feel more comfortable by adding pictures online and asking for a date

[Darknut]

I'm not paying for access to a dating site. Why do that, since this site is really the next best thing and its free! Shame that people dont see it that way. They tend to stay away? Hmm I dont see its all that much different?

[myTake Owner]

I didn't understand a thing

[Darknut]

Men and women talk on here... would be the same as how an interaction would be on a dating site... i would imagine...

[Knighted2170]

What's the difference between paying a dating site and going out to meet a girl?
Go to a club or bar and you have the cost of fuel + cover charge + drinks and maybe meet 1 girl. Break it down on an average between Friday and Saturday and it's an easy $75 per night.
Dating site $19 a week if you choose that option. Chat with 15 girls, 5-6 turn up for dates over coffee or walks in a park. Coffee/Tea is $4-5, walks in a park are free.

[Darknut]

@Knighted2170 don't do any of that. Strictly here because local women... um.. no

[Knighted2170]

@Darknut Gotcha. Each to their own. I just saw the dating site comment part. It didn't make sense to me. But, if that works for you I say do it.

[Darknut]

@Knighted2170 i have then theyrr like you realize this is not a dating site no matter how good the comment or subject is about

[CheckPlease]

You forgot getting ghosted when people get bored of you.

[myTake Owner]

Oh yeah

[ThatUnknownGirl]

That happens in real life also

[Aguysopinion4799]

I don't like online dating either T_T feels pointless

[myTake Owner]

Exactlyyyyy

[AynonOMouse]

So all the people met in real life must be honest and never lie?
And all the alcoholics that people meet in real life are good choices for an SO too?
Nobody gets killed by people they meet in real life?
Talking to someone ONE time in person means you know them better than talking multiple times online?
lol

[myTake Owner]

I never said that, did I?
Learn to read.

[MelaninDoll]

the intro reminds me of simplynailogical where she's like "well holo everyone it me cristine again" is it just me?

[myTake Owner]

Who is that lol?

[MelaninDoll]

you don't know simply naillogical? she's one of the best youtubers ever you should watch her

[myTake Owner]

I don't watch youtubers

[Jemini_Crocket]

Agreed. I really hate it even when it's just talking with each other on some social site. It feels weird, I prefer to talk with them in person much much more.

[ElvenMr]

Then meet with them?

[CoffeeWC]

I agree completely. Someone who sounds so romantic on a screen could be horrible in person and vice versa.

[myTake Owner]

Thankyouu

[dahuja2]

Extremely true... what ever happened to meeting someone in the street, a bar, work?

[myTake Owner]

Exactly

[kojikurac]

You have you're right to think so.
I head few dates that way and lot's more all over the world which I could keep because the distance.

[myTake Owner]

Good

[ExXLover]

I agree with your opinion, it’s nice to talk to people online, but trying to start a dating life. I prefer the “old school” face to face method

[myTake Owner]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[laughinglad999]

l hate on line dating and any dating apps any one dating should not be on dating apps

[myTake Owner]

'Hate' is a strong word

[laughinglad999]

thats why l used it l hate it

[legalboxers]

I should take this as advice, but I met nicer people online than in rl

[myTake Owner]

That's sad

[MrMysteryMan]

I don't know about all this. This is really subjective. You can have a perfectly great online relationship as long as you both are honest. This is based on negative assumptions.

[Jjpayne]

What would you recommend, if one does not use a dating app?
