I have men that attach themselves to me. 9 months seems like eternity. In my younger days I didn't go 9 minutes being single without 3 guys standing there.


You say things like that and wonder why people think you sleep around? Even if you don't, it doesn't make you sound good.

Is that a problem with online dating? One can't blame online dating for something it has little control over.

If someone is child-free and they live in an area that encourages "traditional" family units, it isn't online dating's fault their search for compatible matches runs cold. Online dating was a success for me. Not just because it's how I met my husband, but it's how I met several past partners, and every man I've met or dated. But I happened to live in areas where there was no shortage of my type. If I happened to live in the Midwest, conservative area, rural area of the South...
FWIW, I live in the Midwest and always had luck with OLD, despite differing in several significant ways from the typical cultural demographic. Part of the beauty of online dating is that it can help you to sufficiently filter out people who don't fit your particular bill in a really pretty efficient manner, and just as efficiently seek out ones who do.

While there may have been fewer of "my type" kicking around, OLD was valuable in that it allowed me to quickly and efficiently locate them, versus just hoping I stumbled into them by chance.

My husband and I lived only a couple of miles apart. But hat it not been for us both having online dating profiles, we might never have met.

I can't even begin to unpackage this.

Women have it easy when it comes to dating. I honestly don't know why they even complain. You could be ugly, overweight, or disfigured but never underestimate how thirsty some guys can get.

But the thirsty ones tend to be the ones I don't want. I want the ones that I want to be thirsty

Not really, men have to compensate. If you're ugly, fat, etc you better hope you're funny or have a lot of money.

That doesn't benefit anyone. The women getting hit on by men they don't want have it just as bad. Because they're still going home and sleeping alone that night because guys they want don't look their way. And with some of the bad guys women attract, there's also having t put up with a lot of crap.

Such as, guys who can't take "no" for an answer and continue to hit on, or hound you when you told them you weren't interested.

Guys online seem to think this. But anyone who has real-world experience knows some women struggle with dating and sex, as much as some men. It's individual. because some men aren't that hot, but still manage to sleep with women they want, and find dating fun. And then some men struggle and get bitter. Same for women. Some can just go somewhere and instantly have decent and attractive men hitting on them. Some women go out, and many men don't give her a second look, only ones that do are desperate bums, or creepers. then you have older women who are still virgins because they never get the interest of guys they like.

It's not a gender specific issue. Some have great experience with dating. And some just suck with it. And as some stated, plenty of average women struggle with dating but some guys here don't notice because they're looking at the above average women who have attractive men all over them, and think that's universal.

My point is that women have it easy. How often are ugly, fat, boring guys getting told they're handsome, funny, etc by women ? I've never seen it. Count your blessings.
