Report 5 years ago 6. A lot of men think online dating is easy for women as they get more messages, which is true in most cases, however having to carefully explain to thick chavs that you're not a prostitue despite the fact you've stated you're looking for a relationship and don't even have cleavage pics gets soul destroying after a while.
Why online dating is waste of time: Websites can predict friends but not who you will fancy
I wonder what was so offensive about my post? Was it the fact I had bad luck with online dating or that I said I don't get out much? Report Thread starter 5 years ago 7. I am not shallow though. I am not bothered what women look like, as long as they are not fat or old. I think it maybe to do with my profiles. But I don't know what to write in them or what to write to people. I am not the most amazing looking guy. I am quite short, and balding. So maybe that's part of the reason.

But if it is then it's a bit silly. Many young guys are balding and many are short. Report 5 years ago 8. Should be alright for you, just use your time travel thingy if you say the wrong thing.
Ok, online dating is stupid because average or below average women get a fair share of messages and they can and DO choose to be picky. Then they meet a guy they like and the guy realises he can do better and moves on to other fish. This leaves a resenting cycle of rejection for both man and woman. Not only do you need to be attractive, you often need a well written profile.

You then to top it off need a eye catching message that'll make the women giggle and get excited. Just a hi or hey won't cut it. This is because they're being flooded with messages and can only sight the attractive ones or eye catching ones. The even pickier ones will grammar nazi your ass. It's better to hit a bar unless you're really shy and socially awkward. Report 5 years ago 9. Report 5 years ago I'm a mature student in my early 30s and never had the slightest difficulty in getting dates with some very nice girls from mid 20s to early 30s even on free sites like Plenty of Fish.
My profile isn't some literary masterwork, I'm probably a little better than average-looking, and I have fairly high standards So I don't understand why everyone says that online dating is so bad for guys. Maybe it's an age thing and it only really sucks for guys around the ages of ? Original post by Foo. Ergo, it's unlikely to be the case that guy's standards are too high per sae, although possibly too high for the world of online dating!
Complete waste of time if you're a guy. Trust me, I'm a bloke in my 30s with several years experience of using them.

I've finally given up but for me it's more difficult to meet single women because of my age. If you're a youngster stick to the real world. Dating sites can wreck your self esteem. I can think of plenty of reasons why women wouldn't respond to me, but for those who do, we just can't seem to connect. Eventually, we seem to run out of things to chat about, and the conversations die off. I want to approach women in the real world, but I get in my own way as a shy nerdy introvert who has a roommate read, doesn't have a private place to take a girl back to, if they were so inclined.
It's a lie that there's someone out there for everyone. After all, if that were true, there wouldn't be so many lonely people out there. Guess I need to just drop the sites and focus on trying to make myself happy in life without romance. Nature didn't takes it's course as it did over That just doesn't work, period. She can be however interested if you got a smooth talk and decent pictures. Most of the time a woman is not self aware of what she wants and gets bored with the chat because they thrive on emotion, unlike us men. But in the end you need to be your own man in the real world and become the best version of yourself.
Attraction is not a conscious choice, meaning a women can't control to who she is attracted to. Just take care of yourself, read self improvement books.

Go buy "Mind lines" from Michael Hall and educate yourself to create a healthy view of the world and stay away from negative news and media. I've been on Plenty of fish, okCupid, and Zoosk since November. It is now April. On PoF, I got lots of views, but the only message was an offer to sell me drugs. On okCupid, I didn't even get but a few views, and no messages at all.

On Zoosk, I got lots of views and lots of winks, but only from guys out of the state, and again, no messages. On Zoosk and PoF, I even tried messaging guys first, but no responses. Almost all of friends married guys they met on these sites, but I have no idea how they did it. It's like you're describing my experience on the dating sites.
I sit down, think of witty things to write to guys, and I get nothing back. One evening, I read like 10 profiles, made custom messages that I felt were well thought out. This is on both OKCupid and Match. I do have one guy on OkCupid though who likes to send me dick pics I've met my girlfriend on a dating site.
But I've read literally hundreds of profiles, contacted dozens of women, went to a dozen of a really bad dates before I've found someone. The problem is you're messaging guys out of your league. Close your eyes and think of the perfect guy now open them. Would you as that perfect guy settle for you? I'm not messaging guys out of my league.
I don't want a guy that's super fit and looks like a movie star. I want a guy that I'm attracted to, but that I'll feel comfortable around.

Eventually there would be sex, which won't happen if I'm too self-conscious or if I'm grossed out at the thought. So if I dream up my perfect man, he's going to be a little hefty, he's going to have a receding hairline and his face won't be clean shaven, he's going to wear comic book characters tshirts, he's also not going to be hugely successful, but he'll have his act together, he'll be well educated, and sarcastic, and a little bit dark, and if I were that guy, yeah, I'd date me because I'm pretty sure if I were a guy, this is the guy I'd be.
I think perhaps you're reflecting your own insecurities and prejudices on others. Kim, if you're not getting replies, you simply aren't attractive. I'm not being mean just being real.
Don't kid yourself for the sake of saving your ego. I agree with you, Kim. It's the men who are delusional. I'm an average looking 35, slim but not gorgeous woman and I've had terrible luck online. Men DO assume that women have it made on dating sites, and we can just sit back and let the decent messages roll in.
