I been on POF Okcupid and Meetme since 2013 and never had one date. The women always cancel the dates with me 24 hours before it happens. It's impossible to meet people through sites

Perhaps you should polish your profile and post a favorable picture?

Or try one of those?

How many dates cancelled are we talking about here--3 or 30? What's the communication like in between the scheduling and the cancelling?

Around 20-25 dates and it's almost 2-3 months before the person agrees to meet before they canceled it

No, you get the introduction and initial interest through the site. You get to know them on the date.

Obviously, there's something wrong. Either you're standards are too high, or you're just approaching women you won't likely have a chance with. This could be based on your looks or the fact that your profile is inadequate. I'm only an average looking guy with a decent career, and I dated and was kept busy constantly after my separation/divorce. I actually met my wife on POF. I honestly dated quite a few girls that I might have considered slightly beneath me, but I really just wanted something to do and enjoy being busy.

One thing I will say, if you don't meet within a couple of weeks, you are wasting your time. Do not play that game. Meeting for coffee is a harmless activity, and is a good way to initially meet. I never spent more than a couple of weeks waiting for a first date.

Another thing, it's a numbers game. Craft a truly good opening message and use it via copy and paste. Make small changes in it to personalize it, but you don't have to waste a mountain of time creating an entirely new message for each dating prospect.

If dating sites aren't working for you, try some meet ups or in real life activities.

All good advice!
