Ay Diesel T Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Might try my luck in this. Kind of...scared? I don't want to come across any crazy chicks. :S Guess the whole online dating thing just feels different. I'm so used to approaching women in person, etc.
alexlakeman Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 damn, 200+ posts and you just joined?? I have had success with match.com.... 2 recent phone #'s.... so good return Ok cupid I have been on for several months and not succesful Plentyofsish I signed up 2 weeks ago and have 3 phone numbers; and talking to two of them... so good ROI I think I hear different comments from different areas / ages, etc.. Guess it depends... Overall, I'm sticking to match
fishtaco Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Online dating is lame. Men get very low response per amount of effort put in. Really you are better off doing the real life thing, if you're having luck with that already. But give it a shot if you want. It's extremely easy to discount someone online. You will be thrown away at the first glance and be deemed unworthy A LOT. So if you have something that stands out maybe you'll find success. OKCupid is interesting, they do a good job making things interesting. But they just got bought out, so the culture may change. Plentyoffish is a no bells and whistles site. What they have is numbers. Lots of people have profiles. Online dating is even more of a number game than real life. Normally you have better success hitting on women that recently joined, as opposed to the "veterans" that have been around a long time. In fact if I remember correctly (I stopped a long time ago) they both have options to target people that recently joined in their search criteria. So the fact that POF has larger influx of new profiles is a plus. Pay sites I have no idea. I am glad I never bothered with them.

I'm so used to approaching women in person, etc. huge waste of time, if you are used to approaching women in person, keep doing that, it's much much harder to work people out online without quality interpersonal contact. there are a lot of time wasters as well (people recently out of relationships testing the waters - true for both genders) and you can't tell until you have spent some amount of time chatting with them (while you might be able to tell in person much quicker). there are also weirdos, fatties with old photos, trolls, etc if you have decent social skills and you enjoy banter, stick to real life dating. online is most beneficial for those that rather sit in front of a computer than go out
