The problem is this: women are genuinely attracted to (as opposed to settling with) just 20% of men. And most of those 20% don't need online dating. So in the end, women end up hunting around on dating sites to find that 20%, who aren't there in the first place. Meanwhile, the other 80% of men complain that they ain't having luck, because women don't join dating sites to find them.
Ehhhh.. I really don't know about this. Yes, its true that most good relationships form NOT online but the same can be said about men. I swipe left on tons of women too because I dont see any potential. I am really coming off a long term relationship and definitely not looking to settle for someone below my standards. I know, I know.. Someone is bound to counter this post that my standards are too high (Hi Ruth )
But really they are not. I give plenty of flexibility in my choices... and still most get a left swipe
Oh, you knead to be careful with your bread metaphors. You are going against the grain here and you are bound to get a rise out of people. But I think you are on a roll and your comments put a wry smile on my face so I will give a toast to you! Now, I best get going before I make too many crumby puns. I doughnut want to do that.
Well there's no need to get crusty. Any way you slice it, your comment comes off as half baked. You're not usually this flakey? And your puns aren't crumby so much as stale. Oh well, I guess I can popover to another thread.

Oh, I can't rep you, but I love this post! My first real smile of the morning. Thank you!

As long as you're not loafing around, you're good to go. Otherwise, you're getting sandwiched between two opposing ideas. Just make sure to holla [challah] back.

I almost wrote the exact thing, including that I couldn't rep you. I was just about to get serious about this thread and then I read your rye comments (I gotta stop) and I had a good laugh.
Tangentially, it strikes me that "Bumble" is a hilariously bad name for a dating/hookup app, given its dictionary definition of "to move or act in an awkward or confused manner," and connotation of social ineptitude.

Now that others are rising to the occasion, I want to point out that Bella started this. It really was a recipe for disaster.
Spoilers: nearly EVERY dating platform is geared towards females that isn't a straight up free for all cluster **** or a tailored (and expensive) advisor/client situation.
These things don't exist the other way around becuase they have been proven to under preform as a business model.
You can't make shoes without leather.
This really is not a great place to talk about the realities of these things as they pertain to the male side of things FYI
I agree to be honest the male perspective and so on doesn't seem to be given much merit on here for some odd reason. and a lot of people seem to be married on here, and have been for many years.
On a side note and somewhat of a rant about this CD board in general :
Not everyone lives in California and NYC or some other large, northeast metro. It seems like a lot of people on here live in large metro, liberal areas, and there's a lot of women power feminists on here that let that ideology dictate a lot of their beliefs.
Which is fine I agree with some of their beliefs as well, but much of the country doesn't have dating environments, demographics and belief systems inherent to those areas, those metros, and ideologies.
I think this is a huge problem on this board not enough different perspectives from different people and so on, and it seems like there's a tendency to try and dominate the conversation and drown other voices out.
Just go to a real bagel place and order a coffee as well - this takes out the BS and you may meet someone there in the flesh sheeesh!
It depends on your personality and skills.
For me, I'm not a particularly good writer and I'm not photogenic. I also don't look good on paper (I'm short). But I'm cute IRL and can be very charming/charismatic when I want to be.
So cold approaching a woman in a grocery store has worked way better for me than online dating. I would imagine a tall, photogenic, extreme introvert would do way better online.
So it all really depends.
