Online dating appeals to me immensely - picking out who you like based on their lifestyle, hobbies and interests before you even go out on dates with them is just fantastic. The problem is that most dating sites are gigantic sausage fests where decent looking women get hit on 500,000,000 times a day.


Anyways, what do you have to do to actually be successful at online dating outside of being male model handsome? You can't show off your confidence/personality through body language and voice tonality so what the hell determines which men are successful? Is it just about the stupid dancing clown routine of cracking dumb jokes? Is OLD a huge waste of time?


Are there decent looking high character women on OLD that are accessible or is it mainly just crazies?


Am I actually decent looking enough to even get a number nowadays on line dating? Online dating seems to be so looks obsessed.

I'm about 25 lbs leaner than that pic now so I could have a professional take some pics of me. I look about 2 points better than whatever you would consider that. Should I have a professional take some pictures of me but make them look more normal?

Whatever you experience in real life will be the same on OLD, but x100.

There is nothing different about OLD, just greater numbers all looking for some sort of romantic interaction.

You're a nice looking guy, generally, any problems you are having are not going to be looks oriented.

Just be yourself. Don't try to be fake because you think that's what some woman wants. She'll see right through any fakeness.

You keep posting this same garbage all over the internet and keep getting told the same things by all people. I think you suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There is therapy for that.

Its an ugly combination of your ego, idolizing material things, emulating and associating with low character guys, and the icing on the cake, never actually asking a woman out, that has made you a dating failure.

You really are a scared and damaged little boy underneath all of your ridiculous bravado. How many more years are you going to waste posting on online message board forums before you get the help you need from a trained professional?

Well it would be more beneficial if no once answers him anymore.....eventually it would die down

Are you going to post those photos on your profile and explain how you are thinner and more chiseled now? It seems like using current pictures would be a good idea.

I just want to warn you (and anyone else) that you DO NOT get to "pick people out." It's not online shopping where you see what you want and you get it by clicking on it. The other person *is* a person with likes and desires just like you. You don't pick people out, you reach out to people who seem interesting to you and then see if they reach back to you. It's a lot like a job interview in that regard... you put your best self forward and explain why you would be a good "candidate" and the other person and the other person does much does the same. And just like with applying for jobs, you are going to get a lot of rejections and "interviews" (one time first dates) that fail before there is a good match up.

I can have a professional take some nice pics of me outside. I would look quite a bit better in those vs the pics I posted. I would look a solid 2 pts better on a 1-10 scale with the weight loss.

Well there is a huge difference in OLD in that there's no body language or voice tonality, which is primarily what we judge people on (93% of communication)

So what determines if a man is successful online?
