This part has bugged me to no end on a couple of women I've talked too. They like the digital attention, but not the one on one attention. It just blows my mind!

Yep, encountered that too. Pretty frustrating, they're just wasting other people's time.

traditional dating is better system but people are a lot smarter now than they were 50 years ago so that is the offset.
some of us catch on slower than others.
for example
did i ever tell you about my eharmony blonde cutie that i flew to nashville to meet?
there she was standing in the parking lot.
quasimoto.

Nowadays, people are so chickensh!t, it's a shame. A little rejection now and again builds character. With real life interactions, at least you know if they are somewhat interested or not.

As if women are alone in this deceitful practice? Puuuleeez.

I did online dating for years, it actually worked very well for me. I met a few guys that deliberately had posted misleading pics and physical descriptions in their profiles. So I added a few lines to my profile that stated : "If we meet, and I feel like hat I have been misled by your profile, you can expect it to be a very short meeting. I will assume the same expectations from you."

I never had one single occurrence after that.

Another drawback to online dating; the element of surprise. A few things have happened to me back in my OLD days. Such as:

1) Profile states no children; woman's son answers door when picking up for lunch date.

2) Different body type than stated in profile + old photos

3) Catfished all together

And others which are just plain sad... These were back in the early 2000's, but still happen to this day.

I know when I was in college most woman and girls were always too busy and the risk of dating someone at work is higher that a sexual harassment suit could apply to you as well. They still wanted to get to know you plan time go out and do so many things its like jumping thru too many annoying hoops.
At least in online dating its less of a hassle.

So who were can compare traditional dating and online dating and which do you prefer?
If you are extremely good-looking or a woman, then online dating will work well.

If you are average or below average looking male, you will have a hard time.

However, if you are an average looking male with above average intelligence AND you figure out a way to manipulate the system, then you can get sex fairly easily online from hot girls (I've figured out a way to do this, but will not post it or tell anybody about it). This (at least my strategy) will not lead to a relationship though.

Yup I actually know a good strategy but its time consuming and requires a lot of effort and persistance

I still think its wrong to say an average male won't have a chance I think everyone can but only with great efforts

At least in my area rich extremely good looking men are far and few or already taken aha
As for women yea theres plenty around depending who gives you a chance

You tell us this at every opportunity you get. I think you've told us this at least twice this week.
