All dating sites are useless because any good looking woman will get tons of messages a day. The women just picture shop "ehh he's cute next... NOW HE'S HOT!!" it's just like a shoe store for some of them.

so what- they would still be a big part of a guy's life who married you.
despite what you think women with 2 kids by 2 dads who only date their own race and don't have sex are not good catches.

Online dating, especially crappy free sites POF, is just a cesspool.
Yeah it really can be a troubled thing because many can't take polite rejection. For me I generally only rejected people who were specifically not what I desired. I could have been nasty but was polite but even so they were nasty. It's their fault they contacted me and I rejected them.

BTW I didn't mean to infer that every woman I met from a dating site turned out to be a nutjob. There were a few nice ones, but it was obvious right after meeting that it was never going to go any further than maybe a casual online friendship. That's why I never agreed to anything but a meetup for _a_ drink or coffee first.

You pretty much know right away if you have IRL chemistry or not - and if not, there is no sense prolonging the agony by having to sit through a whole dinner or show. Though there were some women who were obviously bored and/or disinterested (kept looking at their phone, standoffish body language, etc) that still wanted to get something to eat - probably just to snag a free meal/drinks.
The POF forums make this site look calm. The forums have low class trash and it got frustrated. Every time I posted something it got deleted and the psycho mod there sent me a message threatening me. Those nuts gang up on people.

However, I did meet a decent guy there. It never went past a first date but he was normal. He said most of the women he met were liars or freaks.

Change the picture to one where you look better. Online dating is 97% about the quality of the pics.

Don't give up so easily. I met my SO of almost 5 years, on POF. He is a genuinely nice, handsome, caring, sweet man. They are out there.

Yeah, I know several really decent people who are on POF. Not all are nut jobs.

I don'tdateyou? What in the world did you do to bring that on yourself? I've been on OKC and POF and never have had anyone attack me or get into trouble with mods, but your tone is very judgmental and insulting to the decent people who are on POF. Maybe that's it? Perhaps you're not rejecting them as politely as you think you are.

The thing to keep in mind too is that all those "skanks" on POF are in the real world too but maybe sequestered in different neighborhoods. You get all types on there and must weed thru.

They didn't like that I was conservative when it came to dating. I got approached often by baby daddies, talking men with multiple baby mamas. The decent people on there I had no issues with, just the low class.

OK, but I'm conservative and picky as hell about who I'll date as well. I don't know if I ever had a multiple baby daddy contact me--the issue didn't come up with most of them. Some had kids and some by different marriages, so is that what you mean? I mean, I am willing to date men with children so maybe that's the diff.
