unit1 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Filter those out of your searches. At least I hope you can do that there. I will when I m ready to do serious dating.
Jj66 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I had good experiences with OKCupid and Tinder but haven't used either in a few years. Interesting dates, a couple of hookups, quite a few short term flings (1-3 months), and 3 long term relationships (a year or more) including my engagement. It beat the hell out of the bar scene when it came to the quality of the women I met. YMMV I never used any of the other sites/apps.
SevenCity Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Have you ever seen women who looked below average and felt chemistry for them? I almost married one. I thought she was cute but she was below average in looks compared to most of the women I have dated. As time went on she became the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on. It was her leaving me that brought me to LS. 1
Shanex Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I've been on tinder for a week. I tossed around a number of heart/likes and got a rejection rate of about 99%. Interesting. Only one was a match, quite cute, within my league on most account and stopped responding after I couldn't have been nicer and engaging. I'm probably the ugliest MOFO in the block.
Shanex Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 As for POF, yeah its sometimes trash, but I got more success on it.. at least you have a profile, some pics, and I'm usually engaging, kind in my messages. I pulled a few relationships from POF, even three LTR, some FWB and few hookups. Going back to Tinder, I have to wonder if I have serial killer written all over my forehead.. as Robert Carlyle said in The Full Monty. Honestly most ladies are quite attractive, somewhere on a tropical beach in their bikinis, their pics are engaging. The thing is, we live in NW Europe and I would rather see their normal, everyday looks. 1

Shanex Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Wait.... you live in Europe??? Yes, yes I am. Not everybody on LS is a Murican pops. Its true that I start many threads about current events and politics about the US, my excuse is: your country interest me. Sorry for off topic.

Its true that I start many threads about current events and politics about the US, my excuse is: your country interest me. Sorry for off topic. I know not everyone LS is Murican but I totally thought you were. And my country is your country, so ask away. PS- I like POF the best too. I tried tinder for like a week and didn’t like it. I too get tired of the men who have all their vacation and adventure photos. Edited March 3, 2018 by Popsicle

Only one was a match, quite cute, within my league on most account and stopped responding after I couldn't have been nicer and engaging. I'm probably the ugliest MOFO in the block. Now to address this. I doubt you are. OLD is brutal, one must have a pretty thick skin. Please remember that there are a lot of inactive profiles on there, and people who are already dating someone either they just found or are on the rocks with and they are “window shopping” until they finish the R up. So no response doesn’t always mean they don’t like you. I had this experience myself with a guy. If you do OLD for a while and then need to take a break for a while, that’s totally understandable. Good luck! Edited March 3, 2018 by Popsicle 1
Shanex Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I wasn't even using the app for POF as its crap compared to smooth Tinder. I have been doing OLD for some years. I don't even want to be reminded since when but way before the age of smartphones and apps. I take that back. I'm pretty much normal looking or cute according to some. I was called handsome back in the day Anyway, I am now on my second week with Tinder and got a handful of matches and chats. Patience is key too. Thanks pops. 1
