Once more: Stay away from Online Dating!!!

I agree. It feels like I get a massive dopamine blow when I just swipe the profiles.....Always ends up with sexting and jacking off.

 

Really? I was considering using online dating when I get older to find a woman (for a serious relationship).

 

For older women, yes - there are probably sites devoted to older mates (usually divorced couples or couples getting out of serious relationships). You most likely will need to pay for these services.

As for online dating like Tinder, etc. , I would stay away from these sites as they essentially mimic actual P sites. I also don't bother with online dating, because you are usually chasing low-quality women.

 

Online-Dating is pure bullshit.
I gave it a try 6 years ago. Most of them are scammer, women didn't response or wrote you "Fuck off" or they showed interest for 1 day or 1 week and left you behind. And on online-dates you can easily hide your emotions: you cannot see if she/he is happy or sad - they react with smilies.

The best experience you can make is meeting them in RL. I could easily flirt or interact with them, when I had the ability for it.

 

I appreciate posts like this because it reminds us how easy is to slip and you sharing your experiences can save someone else.

I feel online dating would only be good if one has the capital to hire a virtual assistant and to create a whole automated date generating system out of it.

There are companies that for a fee get your profile published on multiple sites, and use their script to reach out to girls and book a date for you - without you having to follow up. Which sounds theoretical like something that could work, getting few dates per week booked through your agent and then going on them and having fun

But it seems like a lot of mental work and I find its much easier to set the intention and meet people naturally and organically or in my case, I just surrendered the idea of dating for now and not really missing it - even though I also know the joy and excitement that I could have if I have someone I really care for.

 

Online dating is a stone cold scam. 95% of the people who sign up for online dating are males. Fact. So the owners of the sites use bots and fake profiles to make it look like there are more women than there actually are on the sites. This is the reason none of you ever get any replies when you message "women" on those sites.

More to the point, if I took you out to meet women, and we went to a bar that was 95% males, would you think that was a good place to meet women? Think about it.

 

When I see threads like this I do feel the need to add some balance.

Online dating is difficult, it’s utterly frustrating and it’s damn hard work. And no it’s not particularly helpful when you’re attempting a reboot. But it is possible to have success as I know from my own experiences - you get out what you put in.

For many people it’s one of the few avenues open to meeting new people and it certainly beats cold approaching people in the street.

Once you manage to get a date, it’s makes no difference whether you first met them online or in the supermarket. Dating is dating.

 

I keep getting these messages from smoking hot blondes from Estonia. Now youre telling me theyre not real?!

 

At least you've got women chasing you. I kept getting messages from Nigerian men who wanted to transfer money into my bank account.

 

I agree. I installed Tinder 4 days ago, and it's bad. I find it addictive, i always feel the need to check new profiles and see the girls around.

For me it's even worst because i don't ever get a match, so it destroys my self esteem.
