It seems like most guys who use online dating will never get a date, even if they message 1000 different girls. If you are not very attractive and have a good paying job, most women wouldn't even bother with you. It seems like a waste of time and money for most guys since women can be extremely selective.
never put all your eggs in one basket. if you're trying to date, don't rely ONLY on online dating.
i believe it was on here a couple of months ago that i read something to the effect that online dating has made women more selective because of the scale being drastically tipped in their favor (probably 5:1 ration of guys to girls)... so much so that the girl that would normally be considered a 6 or 7 now THINKS she's an 8 or 9 from all the attention she gets.
certainly there's nothing wrong with self esteem but, yes, all the woman that are doing online dating probably get hundreds of emails a day (ok, maybe 10 a day ) so it is very hard for males to stand out from the pack.

Because it's free and I have nothing to lose. I'd also rate myself between a 7 and 8 in attractiveness so it's worth it for me. For every 5 messages I initially send girls, i probably get 1 initiating conversation.

Why do women bother with online dating if most of the men seem unattractive and a waste of time?
I have made a lot of female friends through online dating, few friends with benefits, and 2 short relationships. I use it as a backup but if you are not getting any responses, sorry to say but there is something wrong with you or your profile.
Most women on these websites are "broken goods", lots of losers, honestly, I have never met anyone who I would consider "long term relationship worthy" but it is fun!

This is deadly accurate. In fact, I just came up with a catchy maxim for online dating:

that can be said for the free dating sites but i think once you get into the pay sites, that changes.

Use it to score and nothing more.
Exactly! My "broken goods" theory is: If you are a somewhat attractive woman with good social skills, a good group of friends, mentally stable, you probably would not have to be on an online site to find a guy!
If you see a woman who is really attractive on an online dating site, you better believe, she is an emotional mess!
Like Pimpy said, online dating works well if you are a guy looking for casual sex, a fling, or a short term deal, in my opinion
I know several friend's who have met people online and ended up marring.
