Anyone try online dating sites?

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

Small town makes these sites a no go for me. It's just too much hassle trying to meet women a couple hours away, not to mention the cost of travel for something that is no guarantee. Sucks, but it's the reality of the situation.

Skype sessions, Snapchat videos, and other video communications are your friend. You can build a connection and make sure they're worth your interest for a while, before you bother with the in-person dating.

I never thought about how these apps work in smaller areas. I'm in NYC. It's basically a gold mine out here. I wouldn't know where to start with advice. I like to say I was lucky. But my wife and I think it's a numbers game. Would we have connected in college? (We joke and say I would of gotten a blowie lol) I was a football player. I only cared about sports. She was art-psych major. Would we have lasted. Probably not.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

the lack of replies is the main reason I got off them as it just became to much of a crap shoot on what to say. It became just like your on FB sending messages to a someone hoping the reply as you can't say anything to generic or to detailed.

I have had normal looking female friends that tell me they get 40 to 60 messages a day from guys on dating sites. So they end up just getting over loading and being to time consuming to reply to all of them

The like crazy amount of messages that women get is kind of odd. I understand that guys are expected to make the first move and I understand that the more physically attractive a women the more guys are going to message her. But what dont really make sense is the world wide population is like 51% men and like 49% women so all most 50/50. That means there should be around the same amount of single guys and women out there yet I have heard time and time again that with online dating that its like 65% men and like 35% women. You would think it would be around the same online has in real life but its not. Are guys way more desperate or something? Because its not like a 50-50 split or even that close to it guys have to like compete with more guys for trying to get attention from a women than they would if it was closer to 50-50.

Do you know men?

I guarantee most of the messages are "hey, wanna ****?"

Women aren't sending those messages. At least not anywhere close to the number of men that do.

Totally...like 0% of women send crap like that. And if they do then there's a chance the guy finds it cool...

That is why I liked eHarmony more...I felt that paying got me people who were more serious. Match was ok but didn't really like the feeling or have a ton of luck on it when I tried paying for a month. It might be different now.

Nowadays there's Tinder and all this other crap that didn't exist back then, so not sure if it's just better by default or not.

That is true but still with there being more guys a lot more guys than women that means you have to compete with guys to get attention of a woman.

You're absolutely right.

I truly believe you just have to be lucky on those sites. You especially need a very very good profile pic.

It has to catch their eye or they'll move to the next one because there are far too many messages.

When I was on those sites, I found more success with the girls that messaged me first. The ones that I reached out to, if they responded, I could tell they were going through the motions. And often times they would suddenly close their accounts.

It's rough out there.
