Well duh, any woman worth a damn is not on dating sites, she's out in the real world, getting approachd by real men. If a woman is attractive and not a mental case she doesn't need online dating. Online dating seems like its good for hooking up with random chicks. Online is just another way to separate a fool and his money.
Well, it's nice to know I am an ugly psychopath. I need a mask and a chainsaw now
In all seriousness, I think after a certain age, you just don't meet people. And most men my age are married. I have a social group... all the men are married except one (and he's gay). All the women I know are married except two (and they can't find anyone either). There are only 12 people in my office. Half are men and all those men are married although there is one guy 10-years younger than me (I am not his type though, he wants a girlfriend from his country/culture. He's a cool guy to hang out with though when we are out of town at conferences). I don't go to bars (never liked them) besides, like I said most of my friends are married now, so who would I go with? Go there and sit at the bar by myself like a loser?
I've tried scuba boats, meetup groups, speed dating (ugh, was the old bitty of the group--all where in their early 20s), etc. I talk to men in public and such--I meet a lot of nice people that way. But no dates.
I really don't like online dating much either to be fair. I seem to attract married men, men 20+ years older than me, jerks who think they are pick-up artists (which makes no sense to me because I am already on a date with them... why do they think they need to pick me up?), and crazy guys. But I *have* gotten dates from it. But I am going though a lot of frogs (so to speak). Right now my profile is on hold. I am taking a break. But eventually I will try again.
LMAO! That's the dumbest thing I've read on here in a long time! I didn't have THE TIME to look for a guy because I was working full-time AND getting my Bachelors full-time. I met several men who were very professional and in the same position as myself. There's no way in hell I was going to sit in a bar or club and wait on my true love, especially since I lived in a very touristy town.
Get with reality.
Looks like I hit a nerve, must be true. You think you're the only person in the world who works full time, or goes to school. You don't have to sit at a bar to meet people. Like I said, whenever I go out, the attractive women NEVER have problems with dudes hitting on them, or trying to talk to them. You know that's the way people did it pre internet, and they seemed to find wifes, girlfriends, mates, just find.

Pretty apparent you've never worked full-time, nor have attempted to get a Bachelor's full-time at the same time.
Also, keyword is "pre-internet." Nowadays, online dating is a convenient and other avenue to meet people. As long as you're careful, why not try it?
So do they have employees that send out trivial responses to a few of the guys messages. I have a friend on POF who will get trivial exchanges and they they just stop responding or he asks for a date and they stop responding.
This kind of thing infuriates me simply because as a culture, we have to assume that people are telling us the truth or our society couldn't function. But when businesses, like GM or the government lie and deceive, or individuals do this, then it leads to further breakdown of society. Obviously you can't trust everyone all the time, but lying is bad. It hurts and harms other people, and I still hate evil.

Back in that day, they also said a woman's chance of getting stuck by lightening was better than meeting someone after 35 (or 40 or something). It gets harder to meet people randomly your age when you aren't in your 20s/early 30s. And working full time (and commuting) doesn't help. Like I said, the vast majority of men my age are married. Since my divorce, I've met one man offline that I dated and 8 online (but the online ones were, as I said married and looking for a mistress, crazy (world is ending/government is out to get me kind of crazy), a jerk, and one nice man, but no chemistry for either of us.

Yet for some reason people are divorcing like its a cake walk to find people. With a 50% divorce rate I have a hard time believing that even a whole number percentage of those people are involved with hard core domestic violence.
Completely false. How do you explain good and solid marriages forming from online dating? Or people getting into relationships from them?
Look, I do think online dating is a huge numbers game, and something you REALLY have to constantly keep at (more-so as a male), but you can find a girlfriend/wife from those sites. One of my friends met his girlfriend from Okcupid, and another met his wife on one of those sites.
Only 1 out 5 relationships started online, so that means 80% meet their SO offline. And of those who do meet somebody online how many are really going to marry that person?

Thank you for proving my point that online for the most part is a scam. Like I said it seems a great way for a guy who just wants sex to hook up with random women.
