I had profiles on several dating sites, including POF and a religious site. On the religious site I only got responses from much older men in their mid 50s and up for the most part. Also got some creepy guys, including one guy who was looking for a submissive housewife willing to cook and clean. He was also briefly married until he pushed his wife and he got divorced. I hadn't talked to him since May but today he looked at my profile and got the creeps. I met a nice guy but lived too far and too young. On POF met a guy who seemed ok but wasn't interested in me. Who knows why but I wasn't that into him either. Online doesn't work for me and it's time I realized it so I deleted all these profiles.
I am happier now though I am still single. I'd rather be single than single and getting frustrated on dating sites.
One of my free ones was just for a joke and I got some winners with that one. The paid one I was serious about but outside of the one much younger far away guy not much luck. There were a few decent men but they all disappeared. The rest were just wacko.
If you're religious, why aren't you looking into meetup groups or church groups centered on your religious affiliation?
I've actually found that the self-described "religious" types on dating sites are far more nut-jobbish than the non-religious types, at least when it comes to men. My theory is that religion provides a social outlet in which people with similar values are able to meet each other in a comfortable environment, and most religions encourage their members to, ya know, marry and reproduce. So if you can't meet someone that way, you tend to be pretty fringe. And then you end up on a dating site, messaging atheists like me and wondering why we don't respond. :P
I found a couple of religious dating groups that happen once a month at a bar so I am going to check those out. I am just so burnt with the whole online dating experience and I need a break. Plus I met someone I really like offline (he knows the same people I do)and I want to see where that goes. If it goes nowhere as of now I am probably done dating. Maybe I will want to date a few years down the line but I have had so many disappointments I probably won't bother again.
I related my OKCupid account I seem to be getting more hits on POF. Besides they all tend to go back & forth between the different sites.
