What is your opinion on dating websites?

Discussion in 'Dating during a Reboot' started by Deleted Account, Aug 19, 2018.

  1. I don't mean to troll here but I'm interested to hear your opinion on dating websites (both normal relationship and sex seeking). Have you ever used it before? How did you feel? Was it worth checking out or not? It can anything!

    I think only matrimonial sites are good...
    And apps like tinder.....tinder literally made me depressed....
    I installed it just to see how it works
    And I realized those people are just promoting themselves as a commodity...
    This is my own observation
     
  3. I've heard a lot of online dating sites are either legit or fake like....

    JustBang (that's the one I went on Friday's night and masturbated)
    Okcupid (I never went there)
    Match (never went)
    Tinder (definitely never will go on that because everybody said it's a scam)
    Zoosk (same as Tinder)

    Well, from what I've learned from lots & lots of people, they really work. To be honest, they're turning out to be amazing. It's true that different ones cater to different types. Some people are out for marriage and some are looking for hookups. I am 47 and married in a big city and quite literally 1/4 of the other couples I know met online. Some met with a "match" type site but some were just messing around on Tinder. Either way, it's a date once you're both sitting in a restaurant together so who cares?

    What's amazing about it is they get past all the hard work. You already know what the person likes, dislikes, is interested in and if they are serious or not about a relationship. It's frustrating for a while but you end up meeting so many people. I say go for it!

    For me it was a waste of time. Also, just because you see a bunch of information on someone's profile doesn't mean they are being honest.

    I've used Tinder in Asia on a few occasions. I'm looking for a relationship, and it's the one of the better ways to meet an English-speaker.
    It can be hit and miss, but I've met some genuinely cool girls on it.

    Used tinder, met a large amount of girls. Ended up deleting the app after some time. Although the girls were interesting, didn't meet ''The One''. At the moment I have Tinder deleted. For now. I want that beautiful story of How I met your mother lol. Don't want it to be: I pressed <3 because you're mom had a bikini on.

    I’m in a relationship right now, but where I am, people who use online dating hardly care about real relationships. They just want one-night stands and hook ups. Of course, I’d enjoy that if I was 16-17, but not anymore.

    If you're a man, it's a waste of time unless your "market value" is above average. Even average women get choosy as hell and want to "date up". Online dating is a women's game.
     
  11. Dating sites are horrible. People are not products. I stay far away despite being single and lonely for a long time.

    I know the feeling. Haha. I kinda want a romantic origin story for the two of us.
    In my defense though, I haven't met with any bikini girls yet. All have been somewhat moderately dressed in their photos. :)

    In my post divorce days I found them to be a complete waste of time. If you create a search criteria and run it both as men seeking women and women seeking men, you will find about 3 times as many men seeking in that particular search criteria. Jason_Tesla_19 had it right. When you get into my age category that ratio gets even higher.

    It felt sometimes like people, men and women, thought they could just place an order for Mr. or Ms. Perfect from Central Casting. The 40 something guys thinking that they were going to hook a 19 y/o bikini model. The women making their list of demands ending with the words, "and I'm not going to settle!" It was both funny and sad seeing their profiles months and even years later still looking. Because that guy who they won't settle for less than, he's the one rolling with the 19 y/o bikini model.

    I think they’re a good tool if used right. It doesn’t matter how two people meet, as long as they mesh well together, that’s all that matters.
     
  15. For relationship: Should be a last resort!
    For Sex: I don't think it is a good idea, and the damages it will create in the long run are going to have a hefty toll...

    I disagree. It's a really useful tool that has helped hundreds of thousands of people find their sole mate. It's not a last resort, it's a way to meet people that want to meet people.

    Got Tinder on Monday, so far matched with three people and talked to one other.

    It seems to be a site for hookups so far at least.

    Though currently I do like it.

    Online dating has to be the most superficial thing I've ever seen the same as porn in my opinion.You use the internet to meet woman because in real life you are to scared to talk to them.

    Online dating is for people who are insecure and don't have their life in order.

    The best way to attract a woman is to show you don't need her in you're life if you post picture of yourself online to seek dates its means you need woman.
    Also woman like a man who takes risk ask her out, take the first steps something you don't do on online dating.

    Lets face it if you have a happy life do you really need online dating? If you know how to use you're social skills do you really need that to meet woman probably don't.

    I also believe in love at first sight. There is something magical that happens when you see eachother for the first time when you see eachother at the other side of a room you have a chemical reaction(hormons) feelings. something you don't have at online dating.

    The pure natural selection that woman and man crave aren't there at online dating. The sexual tension of rejection isn't there. Wich is verry essential to create passion. This is the main reason why i hate online dating. It removes the most important part in atraction the natural selection.


    like someone mentioned its a last resort. Woman on that site only look at the looks and how you talk to them through the chat.

  20. So I think first of all it depends on if you are a man or a woman. The best friend of my gf uses it and had several dates, also good ones. She met her ex-boyfriend with tinder. I also know another couple which got to know each other with tinder. I myself used a German dating-app called Lovoo and found a gf there.

    My gf and I met over instagram. We chatted a lot and then met in real life. And now we are gonna marry in less then two weeks. I guess it depends on luck somehow. And timing.

    But in general I would say in 95 % dating apps sucks. But nowaday it is quite hard finding a nice girl.
