The women online are flakey as all get out. I've had first meets go just like yours then the next day they send a text and say they didn't feel any chemistry. I stand by my opinion that online dating is a waste of time for the vast majority of men. On the free sites women are too picky and think they are higher on the food chain than they really are. This is partially due to the skewed male:female ratio and the men that spam email 100 women a day. Overweight women with 3 kids expect a 7 or better and the attractive single women expect nothing less than a 10.

As a good looking guy, I find online dating to be a waste as well. You can just read the profiles and tell the majority of the women there have issues. You come across things such as: "I've been burned", "I don't do one night stands", "You must be 6 feet tall", etc. I just laugh at those profiles. Then you get some of them that actually message you and have some pickup line so stupid it would put any of Will Smith's lines on Fresh Prince to shame.

As a good looking gal, I'm so glad that online dating was not a waste of time for those good looking guys that I have dated, nor for the very sexy and sweet guy that I am with today. Sure there were a lot of losers on there, and plenty of overweight men looking for barbie dolls, and guys that sent the most ridiculous emails....but I am a patient woman. And happily, my patience has always paid off.

Your problem is that you actually expect something from it. Your other problem is that you actually put faith in free online dating. It's nothing more than a fun exercise for me. For most women that "fun exercise" translates to a free rounds of drinks. Everyone wins, even if nothing comes of it.

Another +1 here!
There were tons guys I would never consider dating online, some I considered but turned out to be freaks, some I wish I would consider because I thought they were cool, but no attraction....
I only needed one, and I found him. Never would have run across him in day to day life. Well, actually we should have... but we didn't!

You seem to be missing the main point...we're talking about men using online dating, not women. There are more men on the sites than women so of course more women are going to have success. I get so tired of women bragging about how great online dating is. No kidding, it's way easier for women online. If you walk into a room with 100 men and there are only 60 other women of course you have a good chance at finding someone decent. I'm an athletic man, clean cut, no tats, piercings, employed, average height, no kids. The only women that want to talk to me online are 200 pounders with 3 kids out of wedlock. Can you explain that? I live near a major metro area (Pittsburgh) so location cannot be the issue.
