208ba Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi I am new here so not sure how this works i have been on various dating sites which to be honest are a rip off and you ending up costing more than you intended so is their a real site where you can make friends and who knows where that may lead or is just a game Link to post Share on other sites
daisylane Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi 208ba, saw that nobody has answered yet. You haven't mentioned which dating sites you have tried out so it's hard to give an advice here. I only know of okcupid and plenty of fish but of course (like in real life) there will always be people who aren't truthful or people who 'play games'. I hope you don't lose hope (: Link to post Share on other sites
Scales Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Let me give a little insight into online dating. Being honest is your worst bet, unless of course you are handsome, tall, rich, funny, inshape and have perfect hygiene. In that case you wouldn't be using online dating because you would be the best option in any room. If you are a guy you are looking at a 7:1 or 10:1 ratio of guys to girls. Girls receive messages everyday while guys typically receive zero. As a guy you have to compete to not only get your message read, but also get a response. This is why honesty is against you. While you are hoping to connect with someone special and communicate openly about yourself, most men are looking for more ways to get more responses to meet up with more women to have more sex and gain a potential relationship. Women also are competing to have access to the best guys so they are going to lie to compete as well. My advice is as follows. If you are sending messages as a guy, be funny, interesting, and unique. If you are not normally those things, do not attempt to "be yourself". Telling a girl they are pretty and that the weather is nice in her city is only 1 of 100 shes read. Getting a response means that shes interested enough in talking with you and that your profile met her basic requirements. Don't put major negatives on your profile(unemployed, under 5'5", terrible pictures, overall negativity) because you are robbing yourself of that chance to connect. If there is a real chance, you can over look each others faults at that time. TL;DR You must play the game online because it is highly competitive. Your chances become very very low otherwise.
