Nearly all of them looked at my profile and read my message and not a single response.

I'm facing facts here. I'm not physically attractive. I'm not very interesting. I'm never going to have what a girl wants. I've got to accept it, dating and me are never going to mix.

(Alcohol and frustration are beginning to wear off)

Okay, just what the makes ladies respond to you when you ain't got much that they want?
Wow 15 messages, thats a lot! Sarcasm...You know how many women I try to pick up each week? Probably like 1000(just guessing but i talk to every hot woman i see that walks by me). Its a numbers game. Lets just say 5% are interested and 5% of those %5 will actually work out.. 5% of 15 is roughly 1

You dont have to be good looking in your own eyes. I dont think im good looking but i bang chicks because i put myself out there a lot.

That's funny how you say people feel this way all over big cities because the internet dating sites are wildly popular. Also, almost everyone I know that is single has at least tried it once. Men think 'naively' about unattractive women too (case in point, you.)

You are very foolishly equating that some of those women who aren't 'classic beauties' either have no standards or don't deserve to have any. Women are either pretty or ugly to the males and how they get treated depends on which category they fall into. I beleive you should stay off the online dating site if you think so lowly of the women on there and have no trouble with your 'game' offline.

A sweeping statement about women.. Most are concerned about whats hidden, although there may be initial attraction to good looks.

But yeah..I agree, a certain type of women will. She may even be willing to overlook a shady, criminal past.

Look at Scott Peterson and Joran Van der Sloots female admirers. Obviously, some women don't care. They aren't necessarily the stereotypical low class trash one might imagine.

Really? I've found online to be a pretty good representative of how things are offline. Offline or online, there's going to be a lot more ugly people, a lot more people with issues etc etc.. just like online. It is going to be a little more difficult to get the attention of the hotter women, blah blah blah , good bad whatever.

I don't think there's really a problem with doing things either way. There's some really cool people that you can meet online, so to dismiss them all as bad is only inhibiting yourself. The worst possible thing you could do though is to stop trying to get women offline. Doing both is always best.

I don't get why you say that only the women online are ok with overlooking things due to looks though. That is so far from the truth it's not funny. I'd say MAJORITY of men and women will overlook many things (at least to begin with) due to the other person having good looks.

Of course internet sites are wildly popular in cities, but the complexities and dynamics of dating, meeting and hooking up have changed over the years. Dating is a womens game and not mans. Of course men think of unattractive women, case in point of me, but Im not looking to settle down I just wanna smash or if not try an LTR. As for classic beauties I dont need them if one floats my boat or gives me a benefit of a doubt I will take it, and make people in and around my circle jealous. I dont fancy classic beauties, they are out of my league. I do prefer a regular unattractive girl over a classic beauty in the longrun anyway, but unattractive women have selfesteem problems and always worried about phych or appearance, I could be wrong though. Even the women I met online were no where near wow hot, sexy beatufiul, but just regular chubby chicks who had problems with ex boyfriends, current boyfriends, insecurities, looking to upgrade to a different guy, looking for a guy to help be a father to their kids aswell as a guy to show off with family and friends to boost their ego and self esteem. One girl I met didnt evne care about guys with goodlooks anymore because the guys that were good looking left with three kids with three different baby fathers, no joke two of which she met online. I stick with mostly meeting women 75% real world and play with online dating 25% of the time. Wether attractive or unattractive women hold the power and its inbetween thier thighs.

I have to spread the rep around before repping you again, this post is spot on.

In the Northeast, you'll see far more grenades with attractive dudes (Esp Bronx, Philly, Boston, Jersey). I'd even say that if you look at the more educated regions in our country you'll commonly see these match ups which have their roots in PC shaming (that's just my opinion based on observations and experience).

I think online dating is a waste of time, and most people in my circle find it to be pathetic unless you're looking for a quick fling with someone who doesn't think that well of themselves. I agree, its cool if you want to have a little fun but that's about it. Its like eating crappy food, initially it tastes good but your body hates you for it later.

I think one of the biggest problems is that you have thirsty dudes with zero game and they hype a girls ego into the stratosphere because they're seeing the world from a scarcity mindset. A lot of these guys are the ones who populate these dating sites overwhelmingly. Girls sign up and they just get messages, what effort do they have to take if their value is raised artificially? You have a 4 or a 5 who acts like a 9, that's like a failing stock trying to compete with gold.

Its far more rewarding to meet women out on the street, whether its at a store, market, library etc. online dating is bad for both parties.

Hahaha, I will give you that much. The problem though, is it really such a big deal? I think even ugly girls deserve a little confidence booster here and there, so why not let em feel hot? I don't give em the time of day but hey, they can go there and find guys who want to hit on them.

I will however stick behind what I say that you CAN find some really cool people online. Of course it is always best to meet people in person, I think both can work as long as you don't get in over your head.

Lol, point taken.

I can see if you meet a girl, and you genuinely have something with her and she deserves the praise then give it. I can't say the same for a good deal of the people you'll find on ok cupid or pof (aka land of a million trolls).
