Well, I've honestly have no idea what to expect about the women on the online market, so howbout you describe it for me. From what I've seen on this threaf, the men look pretty darn undesirable, making me stand out... or does it? Or can i expect just as a poor market for women?

Don't 'expect' anything. I went on there and naively expected the men to be decent in speaking to me (as if this was going to differ from what they do IRL, well it didn't). Go on there and look for yourself what kind of women and/or men are on there. Not every man or woman on the dating sites is an ugly or less than the people who get dates without those sites.

What about the other way around?

Id like to date compatible women, but my time is limited. Which is why I'm considering online...
Can't find my type that's single in real life for some reason....

The women are all perfect and have no flaws. Everything is the fault of men.

Nice, but not accurate. A lot of girls still use men for their money.

Although I have a job, I'm a bit poor, being a student. I'm going to be in the same situation in grad school. Id be interested in women on campus, but they seem to be too immature for my liking...

If you are in college, I really recommend you meet women in college IRL. Unless you are much older then the rest of the 'typical' student body age group.
Online dating really isnt much different than dating IRL. In fact, I think it is more difficult, even though it is 'easy' to click on any of the profiles and try to meet someone.

After a while, it really gets old, and honestly, it kinda seems like not many people are taking online dating seriously. I imagine if you meet someone you click with its cool, but... good luck.

Yep, but at that stage of your life everything is difficult. From my experiences, people in college are too busy with their own personal lives, jobs, and families to make new friends, much less a relationship. One of my classmates from HS managed to snag a girl from his CC class, I'm not sure how he did it but they ended up with something serious (albeit brief) and lost their virginities to each other in early twenties when no one thought they were ever gonna do anything like that in their lives. As a matter of fact, some said he might be gay.

They are serious in the sense that they cannot stop talking to you. Otherwise, yeah.

Even dorming together, a lot of people have no interest in going out and socializing and just quietly keep to themselves. The only exception I can see is if you're extremely polite and try to talk about current events, books, movies, and the like with people.
