PogoStick Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I thought the quality of women on Match were higher and more serious about finding someone compared to OKC or POF. That doesn't mean getting them to meet is any easier though. That seems about equal from any of those above.
Author avoforastig Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Online dating is horrible, period. Doesn't matter if you use a paid-for or free online dating website. Better to just go out with friends and meet the opposite sex that way, like they did before the internet was invented. Where do you think are the best places to meet people? I always feel awkward approaching women at bars, since I never know if they are interested in meeting people at the time.What did you find were good places?
Smthn_Like_Olivia Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Wow....that sounds powerful, and I hope that is the case though in the end. I am sure others have said that too because it's new love and the honeymoon phase is still on Haha...I can't say that it's forever, only 4 months in, but I've been in several long term relationships including a 10 year marriage, and went on 14 dates before I met him. I've never been so connected to anyone both emotionally and physically. I was quite the cynic before I met him. Never wanted to marry again and pretty much numb inside. When dating, I had a couple men stop talking to me because they said I was too cold and detached. They were right. I just didn't care. Technically, this IS still the honeymoon phase, but it's the best damn honeymoon I've ever been on.

I always feel awkward approaching women at bars, since I never know if they are interested in meeting people at the time.What did you find were good places? I'm in my 40s so my dating in my 20s revolved around bars, restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, concerts, parties, social events for organizations I volunteered for. I tried online dating for a few years: Match, eHarmony, POF and even OK Cupid and had dismal results from each site. The men I met were all disasters in some way or another, so I will not use online dating ever again. Start with Meetup groups if your social circle doesn't permit you to meet single women. At least that way you'll have something in common with the women you meet and you'll have more opportunities to have face to face interactions with women in Meetup groups you join, than you would if you were to waste your time with online dating. It may work for some but online dating didn't work for me.
Mo_Do Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Taking online dating out of the picture - the absolute best way to meet people is through your friends or acquaintances. All of your friends have single friends, and after they vouch for you 80% of the work is already done, you just have to show up. Meeting people this way is as easy as picking up the phone and making a few calls. Your friends girlfriends / wives single friends are the low hanging fruit. Girls that wouldn't give you the time of day online dating can be easily picked up in the above situation. 1
