NicoleM Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I have been having nothing but strike outs:mad: The one guy dated for a month ended up breaking my heart ( won't get into that one again lol) then I start talking to another guy and he is total skeezy perv. Finally I meet another guy for dinner and we talk,etc but afterwards he said sorry wasn't feeling it. I have nothing but strike outs!! Maybe I should go back to going back to bars,etc because the free dating sites the people are too picky or they are skeezy. Surely there must be a good site out there right? OKC isn't panning out and POF I didn't feel that one. Should I give up and try hitting the bar scene or should I try and do the paid sites?? Any insight please;)
JungleLover Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Don't feel bad. Dating sites seem to be notorious for strike outs. I have met some women that things start off strong with them and look positive to only find out they have some major red flags going. I met someone on OKCupid a couple of weeks ago. Boy did she seem like she might be a diamond in the rough. We had similar interests and things were flowing along very nicely until I realized that she didn't even take a chance to read my damn profile. All she did was look at the picture. I put my heart into that damn profile and as we talked, I noticed that she was asking me a lot of questions that were clearly written in my profile. I told her she was busted and she paused and came up with some BS. That was the last straw. I just pulled down my profile after that. She still calls me but I can't even take her serious anymore. So join the club!
thatone Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 that seems kinda strange to me. you looking for women or a profile critique? if you get that upset about women casually ignoring something you worked hard for, you're in for a frustrating life ahead.
Author NicoleM Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I was talking to this guy tonight on OKC and it automatically went to sex. Whatever happened to hey let's grab a coffee and talk rather than hey what position to do you like. Seriously?? You see why I am starting to get over dating sites. Horndogs...... I should clarify I like Sex as much as anyone else but is that all the guys on the dating sites are looking for a quick hook-up maybe dating but mostly hookups?? Edited May 30, 2011 by NicoleM
oaks Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I see lots of profiles on OKC that say things like "don't contact me if you're just looking for sex", and so I guess your experience isn't unique.
alexlakeman Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I keep hearing that from women, that guys online are creeps, talk about sex , etc.. even older guys. I don't get how stupid they could be.. Just keep trying. Too picky? Well, I am a guy and I've had a bunch of first dates this year and I've been the one not going forward most of the time, not all the time. I just don't see the point of seeing someone again, if i don't feel it the first time or the pics don't match the person. Do your pics in your profile match clearly the real you? I've been successful on match and for the last 45 days or so playing with pof, and have gotten some responses and a few first dates.. but I guess it depends where you live, some areas one online dating service might be stronger than the other . In my area I barely got hits of ok cupid, but lots of hits on match on pof.. go figure.. good luck
Sabali Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 that seems kinda strange to me. you looking for women or a profile critique? if you get that upset about women casually ignoring something you worked hard for, you're in for a frustrating life ahead. I wouldn't look at it as that black and white, myself. Many people sign up on dating sites to look for a relationship. Someone who doesn't read profiles and just respond to photos would strike me as a shallow person or someone who is simply into hooking up for sexual purposes. I wouldn't see it as someone who was legitimately looking for a long term relationship. Men get this complaint all of the time and I understand the ladies frustration with it.
Ross MwcFan Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 That's only 3 people. Seems too early to be giving up yet.
