I know a few who are in ltr, one engaged couple, one married couple... all from tinder. And I don't even know that many people

It's cause a. they're only after sex and b. they don't have a place to take you to.

(I presume b.is cause they're not single or live with their parents).

A woman I know had a guy not only ask this but also 'could you have sex with someone you're not attracted to?'
I mean just lmao - there's a place you go to have sex with women who may not be attracted to you with a room provided, it's called a brothel; go and use one you cheap-skate, chancing k*nt.
Simple minds need simple answers.

THAT is what being an average man is like online.
I disagree, although I will say in a broader sense that you can drop a few pts off of what you could score irl when going online, that's the nature of it.

OP: it's hard to find quality partners in online dating for the same reason you don't want a DYEL partner: online profile creation is easy, so is sending a picture or whatever. The hard part is meeting in person, say for a coffee as a first encounter, and that person being able to maintain an interesting conversation with you/bond in front of other people overhearing it. You get what you put in - I'm not a fan of online dating and you shouldn't need it.

About paid dating sites I've heard that it is for more "interested/invested" people, so it could make sense. But why does your friend do this if she's "always dating"? My fundamental issue here is why don't people do more of this:

And my wife emphasizes that we probably wouldn't be together today if I had not approached her (it was a work function, loads of people, I saw her and walked over during the function to chat her up a bit - guys at other tables obviously listening in, that kind of scene).

So, let's be real. What is stopping people from approaching each other? I have no clue where most of you live but, honestly, is it so insane to say - see a beautiful woman in a Costco and gently approach? "Hi, yeah this'll be a bit weird but I hate online dating. Can I take you out for a coffee sometime?" - is normally approaching someone with a bit of a flirtatious tone not what is done in the dating world any more? I mean, wtf?

it is not insane but it is weird

no offense but youre old now bro. it doesnt work that way.

btw approach at work/work events is completely different than at costo.



either way its a thin line between charming and creepy. just be good looking and youre good to go

Could it be an age thing? If you are legit 47, finding your male counterpart (no kids and non-dyel) is like a needle in a haystack...and then those men are going to be sought out by other women.

Several options:

Go for younger men, but don't expect commitment.
Approach people at the gym or at your powerlifting meets (forget everything the misc has told you about this).

Donotunderestimate male thirst, you have the upper hand here. You got ghosted by 3 guys, imagine never getting your messages responded to ever, zero new messages apart from the occasional semi-literate unemployed landwhale with 5 kids once every 2 months (this is the reality for most normal men).

Those men will lie about long term relationships just to get laid because they think you are an idiot expecting more from Tinder.
This man is right on.

Could be location based. I seriously know a lot of people who have tried online dating and no one finds someone for a LTR.

Just comes down to fact.


How many exactly do you know who are single, and using online dating? Come on.....whats that view from your high horse like?

-Just because you were treated badly on dating sites doesn't mean they are all bad
-Just because you know SOME people who have had bad experiences doesn't mean you should spit their vitriol

I have met/found:
-Found a 2 year relationship online
-A flat earther crazy as fook bish (made a thread about it)
-Poly girls wanting a man to satisfy their dink needs
-29 year old with 7 kids, a dead father of 5 of the kids, and ex husband who beat her father of the other 2 kids


There are some wicked people out there.....really truly wicked......but isnt that what life is about?

-Find new people for friends, weed out the bad, weed out the untrustwortly
-Find a new job, work it, see if its a good fit, if not find antoher
-Find a relationship, figure each other out, see if its a good fit


Whats so different from filling out app's online for a job than being on a dating site? You're there to see if you can find a diamond in the rough.

She does get approached irl too but mainly because she works as a dj so is out and about a lot but she prefers to date online because she has more control over it. Idk I've been out the game for a while but in my day, men hollared at a shawty.

Yelling at a girl has gotten me laid 0 times and charged with harassment twice. Would not recommend.

See this is where you're messing up. Just because you see someone in a bar doesn't mean they are a bar rat.

I will go to bars and clubs to meet women or to take the girl I'm with dancing. I don't drink.
That doesn't stop me from going out.

Always lol @ some women’s reaction when a man says no to their fleshy goodness (or advances in this case). Some women truly believe a guy can’t say no to them. Rejection happens to everyone; men and women. Deal with it.

And this. Why do miscers judge people who go to bars to this extent? Like chill out. Plus, plenty of people stop frequenting clubs once they get into a relationship. We are still decent human beings you know, Smh

OP, can you post the convos you had or type our transcripts? Could offer advice based on that. There are certain things a girl can say during initial conversation that will make me jump ship.

Just approach more and be confident. I work at a bar part time and you wouldn't believe what dome deep eye contact and a simple "hi. Whats your name?" Does to woman, Makes the most beautiful and seemingly confident women puddy in your hands. Try it out

Am I the only one that thinks you can actually get something meaningful out of online dating?

I'll admit that you have to be on constant weedwhack duty to eliminate the gigantic, overgrown prickers, but there's the occasional wildflower in the rough. It just takes hard work, persistence, and an open mindset to get past those first few interviews known as the first date.

Or maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic
