OLD will be the norm soon enough.
I tend to better online than real life.
My current boyfriend on the one of the worst site called Craigslist while POF did nothing.
Less than 10% of people in our age bracket use it, yet we are the most technologically savvy.
Ever wonder why?

I have OLD this for years, back at it now after a divorce. Get lots of really sketchy msg, just brush it off. I get younger guys msg me what theywould do, like they have a think for older woman. Since when is 31 older women? Also some flat out ask did I get plastic surgery. Sadly I cannot meet people in real life. Never really could. Don't give up. But keep in mind many just want sex. Somebody will come. Got to be one decent guy.

The problem with this is that is it a self reporting and that it is small sample. Some OLD sites has a over million users while this study did interview only 2252 people. Self reporting is tricky because people don't tell the truth and sometimes you cannot confirm it.

My spouse and I are normal, average people, and online dating's where our first date was planned, if it makes you feel any better.

Did I get messages from creeps? Sure. So? I didn't write them back, no biggie. It certainly wouldn't be anything that made me feel like I didn't want to live on this planet anymore.

Do guys actually go right to sexting/nude photos? Really on 2nd message?

If so are they doing this on OKC because I think that would get flagged quick but hey I am new to OLD. I have seen some strange ones on OKC and reported a few myself that were scammer women but nothing as racy as this thread makes out.

Craigslist is the one I got dick pics from.
I heard POF got so bad they banned men from send private messages.
