Guys, all it takes is creativity, good conversation, a $20 bill , a good head on your shoulders and average looks to show a lady a good time. Women aren't after your privates, your pec muscles, your biceps, or your money, they are after the whole YOU.
Great advice!

I tried online dating one time. I met up with I think 3 girls over a period of a year. It took a while though and I had to talk to 2 of them on the phone for probably one week to 2 weeks just to meet up with them in person. What a waste of time and money. All three were not the most appealing women physically speaking, but I agreed to be open minded and met up with them anyway.

Upon meeting all three I could since issues with all of them. One was just plain ugly with super long hair and acted like she didn't even care to be there. The other I remember meeting up with was just weird. Not much for looks either.

I would say that online dating was an OK idea at first, but after it gained popularity it just went downhill. I guess it works for a few, but I don't think it works for the majority of people. All the women on there are kinda flakey and skeptical. They don't know what the hell they want. Profiles are misleading and are just fake a lot of the time.

And a lot of the chicks on these sites are "burned and churned" types. They have either been married and been divorced and/or have 2 or 3 kids to go along with that. Most of these girls profiles are BS. They say I want a guy at least such and such height and likes to hunt and fish kind of crap.

I will not do online dating again. Waste.

I've browsed dating sites a couple of times, mostly to satisfy my curiosity. I found maybe two or three women I thought were physically attractive, and after reading their profiles they remained only physically attractive. So I just never bothered to create my own profile, because it seemed like a waste of time.

Agreed with the below post, on all counts...

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.

It doesn't matter about a guy's looks. I'm a very good looking guy and I wouldn't go near online dating.

The dating ratios favor women exponentially online. If you want to waste time dating online go ahead....I could care less.

*I couldn't care less. And thanks, that just makes the ratio more favorable for me
