I found online dating to work really well here for a guy. While I thought online dating sucked bad in CA. Other means of meeting females to me are overrated. Bars were great in my 20's but I'm way, way past those days. Things like hiking meetups and other types of getting out and networking socially are so "hit or miss". I have been to so many meetup groups and social events where there just wasn't anyone there I was interested in. And it takes so much time, energy and effort to get out to all that stuff. Where online dating you can be on your couch watching sports and getting dates. You can also target what your looking for with online dating. When you get out to meetup groups it is so random who show's up in terms of ages, looks, etc...

So contrary to so many people bashing online dating, I still find it the most efficient way to date. Far from perfect, but there is no better mousetrap I know of.

Interesting point, ctr. So online dating is better, because it allows you to be a couch potato, but IRL activities are a drag, because you have to be...active? And there's not much return for time and effort expended, I get that. But how's the quality of women you meet and date online? A lot of guys complain about that. Maybe you've been lucky.

Yeah, hiking, etc. is very hit-and-miss, but so is life in general. You can socialize for a couple of years and not meet anyone you're interested in, even if your friends set you up. That's just the nature of the mating game. At least when you're hiking, you get in a good hike and some great scenery. Or at the gym, you're there working out anyway, how great is it when you meet someone you hit it off with?

Different strokes, I guess. Whatever works. More power to you!

I really hope that OP's questions were answered earlier in the thread. Well, because, once again we go on to discuss things that don't pertain to the OP's original query.

For 24/7 discussion on relationships/dating/etc, feel free to visit the Relationships forum.

Folks, if we can't keep these kinds of threads Seattle-centric, they'll have to keep ending.
