I noticed this as well. I quit online dating for a year then started it again and saw the same people and the same people were often in the forums complaining. I lurk at a paid site with a forum and all these people are complaining they can't find anyone but when I was a member many of the men bypassed me and the women. The reason is because to them we were too old (they wanted women in their 20's even the men in their 60's). Not sure about the women, but many (probably most)were on for years because they were delusional.
However it is a possibility they just haven't removed their profile. My profile is still on two sites, not because I am interested but because in one case I talk to a few people there (oddly mostly women)and the other I don't get that many responses so I keep forgetting to remove it. Sometimes I get responses from both and I will tell the men I'm not there looking.
Probably because some of the women had sex with certain guys they met and never heard from them again.
That's why you see some women in their ad saying........."if you are on here for sex then I'm not the one"
That statement confirms they already gave it up and was never contacted again which is why I skip those profiles
WRONG. My profile always stated that and I never had sex with any of the men I met online. In fact the most I ever did with any was give one a hug after we had gotten together a couple of times as friends.
I never realized wanting a guy to have a job, support himself (ya know, like an adult) and be single was asking way too much. When did the bare minimum become some lofty expectation?
As for online dating, I did it because I am flawed and weird. I don't get approached or asked out and I was hoping to find someone who was perhaps as 'niche' a prospect as myself. I did make a lot of friends, but after nearly 4 years of on-off online dating it never resulted in any type of relationship. I'm just not a very desirable person so I've put off dating for the foreseeable future.
Well maybe I shouldn't have listed employed because you should be working if you are planning to date

People who you have seen on dating sites for months have met people face to face. Now if they are online and haven't met anyone for months that means they are not that attractive

What has that got to do with having had sex with people on the sites? my profile was on for months but I had the no sex mentioned (and yes I met a few).
I was bored so I was looking at Craigslist ads. There's a guy there who has been on for at least a year, probably more. He is mid 40's but looking early 20's only. Sometimes for a joke I will email him and claim to be a young woman but then I get bored of him. I want to tell him give it up dude if it hasn't worked in a year or longer it won't.
From that article: "A woman’s desirablility online peaks at 21". That's pretty depressing.
I don't know if I believe that particular stat but yes I did far better in my 20's than I did last bout. In my last 20's when I did online dating I had many responses. Now? not good at all. Outside of a few men I met (and a few who I talk to strictly as friends) not much came from the sites.
