Judging from the commercials I would probably be wasting my time since I am way below average in the looks department.

Not at all. In fact, I actually read an article that attractive men are least likely to get messages. Generally speaking, attractive people in general don't need dating sites.

You certainly don't have to be attractive to USE them. You DO have to be attractive to have any success on them. The on-line dating sites are worse meat markets than bars. You'll be judged strictly on the time it takes for someone to glance at your picture. Except if you're a woman. See, even ugly women have vajayjays and those are always in big demand. No market for man-sausage.

So basically you are saying the same thing as me, that ugly men shouldn't bother with online dating.

You see women that run the whole spectrum from beautiful to not very attractive at all and I'm sure it's the same thing with the men. I think a person just needs to be realistic about who might be attracted to them when they join one of these sites.

Just based on the people I have known, only the overweight and unattractive use dating sites. Hilariously, the men I've known will often post photos of themselves 20 years previously when they looked better. I can't imagine what happens when they actually meet the woman and go out with them and they are NOT the same person as their profile photo. I'm sure women do similar things.

I don't know why a young and attractive person would need an online dating site. Just meet people the "normal" or regular way!

I'd say that if you look like a GQ model, then others will be suspicious of why you are turning to online dating to find a romantic partner. Instead, you need to post pictures that show that you have a great personality. I'd be more interested in someone with a great sincere smile on their face or having a good laugh, than some serious stuck up looking handsome GQ model type of guy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You may see yourself as below average and there are probably a lot of people out there who would say you are above average.

If you are an average Joe but if you have lot of money then you can be attractive.
