It’s better to look at online dating in terms of ROI rather than some black or white ‘does it work’ or ‘does it not work’ thinking...

For the average guy, online datingcanwork, but you’re likely to have a chitty ROI. In other words, you’re gonna have to spend a lot of time and effort to acquire one measly lead, who you probably wouldn’t have looked at twice in RL, and there’s still a 50/50 chance whether she shows up to the date.

In short: Online dating has a poor ROI for the average guy.

Absolutely does not work.

I have been swiping for 3 years, had one date total. Which was disaster. I had few matches, but does not go anywhere.

Only for Chad. It works OKAY for me but I took hours to get good photos of myself via selfies. I get about 20 matches on Tinder on average and most of them come on the weekend (Fri-Sunday)

If you can, get professional photos done

No. I'm an average looking guy and I've spent countless hours on all the different dating apps, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, etc. and I don't get any matches at all. However, when I change my pics to Chad's pics, all of a sudden I get a bunch of matches.

TLDR ; It doesn't work for Mr Average.

I've always wondered how it is for Blacks. It seems like Black's ROI for approaching black women IRL is much higher than white men on white women.

I am sure they'd find some success, but it would be an extremely poor numbers game

Someday? Someday my dream will come? One night you will wake up and discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you. It never will. Suddenly you are old. Didn't happen, and it never will, because you were never going to do it anyway.

No its definitely not, there are a lot of Tyrones and relatively few good looking black chicks. so the fine one's have even more absurd standards than typical woman. Avg or below average blacks are on the struggle time.

yup. even outside of the fat chicks, ghetto chicks, and single moms its relatively hard to find black chicks with good faces. Its why so many black dudes date out

No. Look at the OKC data which confirms it. Even if you have some success, you’ll almost always date down.

I think it was ~80% of men rated below average in attractiveness by women.

The trick is to work on not being completely average. If you can raise your SMV by a point, from say a 5 to a 6-6.5, you won't do as well as the top 20 obviously, but you can still hack it.

Not with that hot body and abs you're not average. Try not working out for a few months and bring up your bodyfat up to like 25% then try online dating.

First off, I agree with you - it’s highly doubtful Beararms is average unless he’s dating unattractive women.

That said, if you’re 25% body fat then it’s within your control to resolve that. Anyone can get an above average physique with the work.

I wonder what online dating would be for an average looking guy that's rich. I kind of thought about doing a social experiment where I rent an exotic car, take pictures with it and make it look like I'm rich, and then try online dating again to see if I get more matches. I wouldn't actually try dating those girls though, I just want to know if money can make a Timothy competitive with Chad.

It's known for the fact they can. Only difference Chad got girl's wanting his genes and rich guy got gir's wanting his money.
