She could write a convincing profile of herself but in person couldn't talk at all.

Maybe if you had had a long phone conversation you would never have agreed to meet her. Gas is too expensive these days.

Another thing women online are full of sh*T

 

They don't want replies to their profile because you think they are pretty but when they reply to your profile and you ask them what caught your attention they say....."I thought you were very attractive"

I had a woman friend tell me dates online because "it boosts her ego". She's still single. It makes we wonder how many of those women are on there for that.

I read a statistic that many more people meet in grocery stores than through online dating!

I know people who met their spouse through OLD. I know people who met their long-term SO through OLD. It does work for some people.

Even though I have done online dating, I don't place much merit into it as I used to, and supplement by doing real life social groups or activities.

 

 

I know Meetup was mentioned before here by another poster (Red Robin , I think), and I'm seeing these same people on dating sites as I do Meetups. But some have joined these real life groups, but tend to lurk there, treating it similarly to a dating site and not even attend these real life gatherings, they choose to choose their friends (or mates) from afar without letting friendships (or relationships) grow through familiarization. They prefer the express method (online dating)

 

The reason being, is that they don't want to have to deal with real life men approaching them, there's no block button in the REAL world, and thusly, stay firmly embedded in the online world.....so they won't have to deal with interacting with someone they would really like to ignore without feeling they've been rude.

Yes I found out that early about Match, then once you pay and see who checked you out they are all UGLY. Can you say SCAM??

 

 

Also find it interesting that once your subscription ends, you suddenly start getting a bunch of winks, interests, and emails. Of course you can't check them out unless you pay. Then when you do resubscribe, you get almost 0 emails/winks.

Or when you resubscribe the females you sent you winks and emails don't respond back which lets you know it was a SCAM by the dating site

just to prove my point, dunno why i put myself through it again but signed up to another site and straight away...rejection. totally unrealistic people there. then as ive always said and other members on here have said... moan, complain...say they cant find decent men when they clearly can but are so unrealistic in their physical checklist.

 

you cannot have both. its a fact. so be open minded and not shallow. you will NOT get anyone AT ALL if that is continued

Same way in actual dating unfortunately. I hear girls say all the time that they "can never find a decent man" or "I was meant to be alone" or some variation of that...yet they only go after the very guys that hurt them because they're "cute".

This statement came from a female on a reality show

 

"The good ones know they are good which is why they never commit to one woman. Then the ones who are not good are so insecure that you just end up saying Forget it"

Stay away from the free ones they are full of fake profiles and nut jobs. Go for a site which moderates it's members and doesn't give pass to everyone. I am waiting for Volovos.com to launch they are a free site but you pay a small fee to go on an actual date. They also have some system where you get paid to date in the community. Looks interesting.

 

That's a false statement because I met plenty of women off the free sites

Not sure I would ever resort to quoting someone off a reality show. In any case that's not the definition of 'good'

what does it matter if it's a reality show? It was a female being honest with another female about why dating is so challenging
