You think most people before the internet age had arranged marriages? Wow.
I'm not dating or trying to date anyone, but I agree with the people here who say to just broaden your circle of acquaintances and friends by going to events, taking part in hobbies etc.

Before 1900 or so, and even today in most of the 3rd world, the default solution is arranged-marriage.
In graduate school, many of my colleagues were from India, Pakistan and the Middle East. Typically the fellow in question was intelligent, of decent physical appearance, but aloof, reticent and nerdy. We're taking classes, starting our research, going through the academic motions. We study for our candidacy exams, and eventually pass them. We defend our research-proposals, and proceed into the final stretch of the PhD slog. Then an odd thing happens. One by one, the guys in question disappear for several weeks. They're not in the lab, they're not in their offices, they're not in the cafeteria or the gym. 3 weeks later they reappear, with a wedding ring on their appropriately-named ring finger, and an indelible grin on their face. Such a barbarous, retrograde and benighted scheme, no? Well, I'd gladly take it, over the modern alternative.
I look at the dating sites just as a tool to connect with people. No more, no less.... I do not spend hours and hours on it. I am not very active there or enthusiastic about it. But it is all good and works out well for me. I think the most important do not have big hopes and agendas there.. Just let it be...
Uhhh it can be. I had to use it for quite sometime to have success with it. It can be really frustrating though, lots of flakes and people who aren't serious about meeting.
It depends on what you're looking for. It was really intended for hookups initially but it sort of got transformed into a place for people to find an LTR. I was just looking for a FWB and had a tough time until I switched up my profile & used a very forward and direct approach.
It's not bad, but girls will soon figure out how awkward you are 49ersfan27, so you should work on that first.
